Monitor Example

The following is an example of how to create a Project that sends new files (identified by a file Monitor) to an FTP server.
  1. Define a new Project to process the files identified by the Monitor.
    1. From the main menu, select
      Workflows
      and then click the Projects link.
    2. In the Projects page, drill-down to the folder in which to create the new Project.
    3. Click the  Create a Project link in the sub-menu.
    4. The
      Managed File Transfer
       Project Designer will open.
    5. Type the Project name and description, and then click
      Save
      .
    6. From within the Project Designer page, expand the FTP folder in the Component Library, and then drag the FTP task to the Project Outline.
      On the Basic tab of the FTP Task, choose a FTP server resource.
    7. Click the
      Add
      button and select
      Put Files
      .
    8. On the Put Files Basic tab, specify the Source Files Variable and the Destination Directory. The ${files} variable will be defined in the Monitor. This variable will contain a list of files identified by the Monitor and will be used in this task after the Monitor runs.
    9. Click the
      Save and Finish
      button.
  2. Create the Monitor that will identify the new files and execute the Project (created in the first step).

      Workflows
      , and then click
      Monitors
      .
    2. Click the  Add Monitor link in the page toolbar.
    3. On the Monitors General tab, specify values for the required fields such as the folder to scan for new files.
    4. On the Monitors Schedule tab, specify how frequently the Monitor should run.
    5. On the Monitors Project tab, specify the Project to execute (created in the first step) and define the variable that will contain the list of files identified by the Monitor. This is the variable used by the FTP task in step 1 - j above.
    6. Click the
      Save
      button. The Monitor starts and will execute the Project each time it finds new files in the specified folder.
