Example 2: Send a Package Using Informatica Managed File Transfer HTTPS

The Send Package element connects to

Managed File Transfer

for securely sharing files with designated recipient(s) of the message. Files are sent to the

Managed File Transfer

server and then an email is sent to the recipient(s) allowing them to download the files and view the secure message. Each recipient receives a unique link to the package. The link is comprised of a 36-character UUID string.

The Send Package element allows placing multiple files in a package through the use of a File List sub-element. The maximum size of the files is governed by settings on the

Managed File Transfer

server.

The Send Package element provides several settings for Packages. These settings can limit the number of times each file can be downloaded per recipient, package expiration, password protection options and purging options.

Follow the steps below to send a Package from a

Managed File Transfer

server using the

Managed File Transfer

HTTPS task:

From within the Project Designer page, expand the Web folder in the Component Library, and then drag the Informatica HTTPS task to the Project Outline.

On the Basic tab of the

Managed File Transfer

HTTPS task, specify the Informatica HTTPS Server value:

Informatica HTTPS Server: A pre-defined Informatica HTTPS Resource.
