The following questions and answers are intended to provide an introduction to file handling with JobScheduler. Our JADE (JobScheduler Advanced Data Exchange) applciation may also be relevant. You can find more information about JADE in:
Can the scheduler handle the SFTP of files to/from Windows and/or Unix servers?
Yes. JobScheduler comes with "template Jobs" JITL - The JobScheduler Integrated Template Library. These are predefined jobs, written in Java which means they are operating system independent. File-transfer with sFTP, FTP, FTPS etc. is included. Follow the link to read more about our JITL jobs.
We also have a managed file transfer package, JADE, which provides batch oriented and time or event based transfer with the possibility of recording an audit trail. JADE can be used on its own or together with JobScheduler. You can find more information about JADE in:
Can the batch scheduler handle archiving of files?
JobScheduler uses the JADE job for data exchange. JobScheduler does the scheduling, JADE the file transfer.
Can JobScheduler archive files that have been transferred by SFTP?
Yes. There are operations to move the files from the source during or after transfer to an archive. It is also possible to change the file name, e.g. to add a time stamp.
