task is used to send files to an ICAP-enabled server which can perform Anti-Virus and DLP (Data Loss Prevention) functions. For each file, the ICAP-enabled server will return a status code to
Managed File Transfer
to indicate if the file contents have “passed” its criteria.
For example, before a file is sent to a trading partner, you could use the ICAP task to send the file to a DLP server to check the file’s contents for sensitive data. If the DLP server returns a positive status code, then you could send the file to the trading partner. Otherwise, if the response is a failure, then the Project could be stopped from allowing the file to leave the organization.
