JADE User Manual - The Operation Element

Introduction

The Operation element specifies the type of file transfer that is to be carried out.

Operation - the action JADE is to carry out

 The Operation elements that the JADE Client can carry out are defined as follows:

• copy - duplicate the files from one location to another
• move - duplicate the files from one location to another and then delete the original files
• remove - delete files from a server
• getlist - obtain a file containing a list of file names

The Operation Element in the JADE Schema

In the JADE XSD schema, the Operation is a child of the Profile element as is shown in the diagram below:

• Profile
  • Operation
    • Copy
      • CopySource
      • CopyTarget
    • Move
      • MoveSource
      • MoveTarget
    • Remove
      • RemoveSource
    • GetList
      • GetListSource

The Operation element that is selected defines whether source and target elements require to be called as well as the transfer options that may be available.

An Operation element is required for each file transfer configuration.

The siblings of the Operation element (Client, JobScheduler, Notifications and CredentialStore) are all optional and listed in the Profile Parameter Reference article.
