Introduction

Profiles form the starting points for specifying file transfers, with a Profile being specified each time a command is sent to JADE to start a file transfer operation. 

...

Configuration Elements in the JADE Schema

In the XSD Schema used to structure the JADE configuration parameters, the parent of all individual Profile elements, the Profiles element, lies at the top of one of the three main branches in the configuration, alongside the Fragments and General branches. This hierarchy is shown schematically below:

...

A Profile can be seen as a specification of what is to be done and contains hierarchical information about:

  • the Operation to be carried out - e.g. Copy or Move,
  • the protocols to be used for the source and, if relevant, target, parts of the transfer and
  • references that specify ProtocolFragment elements. These in turn define in detail how the file transfer connections are to be made.

...

Configuration Procedure

Whilst Profiles form the starting points when running a file transfer command, with the ProtocolFragments then being called from within a Profile Element, the configuration procedure is usually carried out in the reverse order: The necessary ProtocolFragments are configured first, before the Profile elements which call these fragments are specified.

...

All ProfileFragments require a name attribute which is used to reference the fragment from an element in the Profile element.

Configuring File Transfers with the

...

XML Editor

We recommend that you use the SOS XML Editor to generate all the parts of your configuration file. The editor effectively functions like a wizard: due to the use of the JADE XSD schema in the editor, you will be effectively guided through the configuration process and end up with a validated configuration that you can implement as required.
