Download Files

Download Files

The Download Files element allows you to download files from an Informatica HTTPS server.
Field
Definition
Basic Tab
Label
Specify a label for this action.
Source File
Specify the path and file name of a single file to download. A file name is required, it may not be a directory name only.
Source Files Variable
Specify the name of a variable of type Remote File List which contains the files to retrieve from the remote server. For example, ${variableName}.
Destination File
Specify the destination file when downloading a single file. This value is only used when downloading only a single file. Specifying this attribute when downloading multiple files will result in a compilation error.
Destination Directory
Specify where on the local system the files should be downloaded. If the specified directory does not exist, it will be created.
When File Exists
Specify the action to take when a destination file already exists. The default value is 'rename' which changes the destination file name to a new name so the existing file remains untouched.
Default Value: rename
Transfer Options Tab
File Name Prefix
Specify a string to attach to the beginning of the destination file names.
File Name Suffix
Specify a string to attach to the end of the destination file names.
Verify Checksum
Specify whether or not to enable checksum verification. Checksum verification ensures that the source file is exactly the same as the destination file after a successful transfer.
Default Value: false
Checksum Algorithm
Specify the algorithm to use for checksum verification. Depending on the algorithm you choose, the appropriate request will be sent to the Informatica HTTPS Server to calculate the checksum. The same algorithm will be used for calculating the checksum of local files.
Default Value: SHA1
Output Variables Tab
Destination Files Variable
If desired, specify the name of a variable which will contain the successfully downloaded files on the local system. This variable will be of type File List and may be used in subsequent tasks that accept a File List input variable. The variable will be created if it does not exist.
Number of Files Downloaded Variable
If desired, specify the name of a variable which will contain the number of files downloaded. The variable may be used in subsequent tasks. The variable will be created if it does not exist.
Processed Source Files Variable
If desired, specify the name of a variable which will contain the files on the remote system that were successfully downloaded. This variable will be of type Remote File List and may be used in subsequent tasks that accept a Remote File List input variable. The variable will be created if it does not exist.
