Sharing Common Logic between Projects (Snippets)

Sharing Common Logic between Projects (Snippets)

In
Managed File Transfer
, you can create common logic and definitions (aka Snippets) which can be shared with one or more Projects. This will save time and ensure quality by not having to duplicate the same logic into multiple Projects. Snippets may contain just a few lines of logic or can be much more complex (depending on your requirements) with definitions for modules, loops, tasks and variables.
The logic for a Snippet can be built using the Project Designer or can be hand-coded using
Managed File Transfer
’s XML language. Once you build the Snippet logic, you should save it as an XML file on the server where
Managed File Transfer
is installed. Snippets can be imported into Projects using the
Import Project Source
option.
The Snippets are not actually copied into Projects where the Import Project Source option is specified. The Snippet XML file is only “referred to” by these Projects, so it is dynamically loaded when the Project executes. This allows you to change the Snippet logic in the future without having to re-import the Snippet into the Project.
