Introduction

The JADE YADE Background Service provides a centralized transfer history collection, storage and viewing function for any number of JADE clientsYADE Clients. It is important that this service provides both prompt and reliable information and therefore two approaches for handling the history information can be configured in JADEYADE.  

Overview

See the YADE Component Architecture article for a schematic overview that includes the Background Service.

YADE history file

JADE
• YADE can be configured to write the history information directly to this file after each transfer session has been completed.
  Note that the history information is directly written by
JADE
• YADE and is not an extract from the log files.
• The history file is usually located on the same server as the
JADE
• YADE Client itself.
• This file is then read at regular intervals by the (central) JobScheduler
providing
• that provides the Background Service
and the
• . This information is then stored in the (central) transfer history database.
JADE
• YADE and the Background Service can be configured to limit the size of the history file and avoid read/write conflicts between
JADE
• YADE and the Background Service.

YADE BackgroundService

There are two methods with which the YADE Background Service can import the file transfer history to a database. Both methods can be applied at the same time to receive file transfer information immediately and reliably. 

Immediate and transient history information

• YADE
JADE
• can be configured to send the history information after each transfer session has been completed
directly
• immediately to the JobScheduler providing the Background Service.
  This information is sent
per
• using the UDP protocol in a 'fire and forget' manner.
• The JobScheduler then uses the
JADE BackgroundService information to generate an order that writes
• YADE Background Service jobs to write the history information to the transfer history database.
• The history information is lost if the JobScheduler providing the Background Service
JobScheduler
• is not available at the time of transmission.

Delayed and persistent history information
