Introduction

• JS7 make use of the YADE Add-on for transfer of files by use of a number of protocols such as FTP, FTPS, SFTP, WebDAV, HTTP/HTTPS etc.
• The JS7 Agent ships with a YADE client installation that is available from the yade sub-directory of the Agent's home directory.

File Transfer Jobs

File Transfer jobs are technically shell jobs that execute the YADE command line interface. Therefore the job script looks like this:

Explanations:

• The job script makes use of a number of JS7 - Job Environment Variables that are automatically available. This includes any environment variables prefixed with JS7:
  • JS7_YADE_BIN points to the YADE start script that is available
    • for Windows from %JS7_AGENT_HOME%/yade/bin/yade.cmd
    • for Unix from $JS7_AGENT_HOME/yade/bin/yade.sh
  • JS7_YADE_CONFIG_DIR points to the YADE configuration directory that corresponds to the Agent's configuration directory, i.e. JS7_AGENT_CONFIG_DIR
• The following environment variables are specific to a File Transfer job:
  • YADE_SETTINGS is the path to a YADE *.xml or *.ini configuration file that holds fragments and profiles for transfer of files.
    • YADE configurations can be managed from the Configuration -> File Transfer View and are offered for export to *.xml files.
    • As the YADE configuration file has to be located with an Agent we recommend to manually deploy/transfer this file to the respective Agent.
  • YADE_PROFILE is the name of the profile to be applied from the the YADE configuration file.
• The job script is not not indicating a specific selection of files for transfer. This gives you two options:
  1. Hard-wire the file selection directly with the YADE configuration file.
  2. Specify the file selection from an order variable that is mapped to an environment variable with the job script. Use this environment variable with the YADE configuration.
     • Example:
       
       
       
       
     • The order variable or node argument $yade_file_path is mapped to the YADE_FILE_PATH environment variable.
     • The YADE configuration can makes use of the ${YADE_FILE_PATH} environment variable that will be substituted at run-time
