Automatic Pass-through File Publication

Use this type of publication to publish data from a file source that you want to keep as-is without loading the data into a relational database if you want

Data Integration Hub

to create the PowerCenter workflow for the publication.

For example, to publish pass-through files such as PDF or .zip files.

Data Integration Hub

published the files as-is, without processing them.

For automatic publications with a pass-through file source, define the location of the source files, and then define the expected file names or the expected file name patterns for the tables in the topic that is associated with the publication.

If you use the file transfer protocol to move the files, select the file transfer connection.

You must associate at least one topic table with a source file.

Data Integration Hub

creates the workflow with a mapping, based on the topic tables that are associated with a file, and runs the workflow during the publication process. Topic tables that are not associated with a file are not mapped.

Data Integration Hub

deletes the files after it reads them.

When you use file transfer, you can select whether or not

Data Integration Hub

deletes the files from the remote server after it reads them.

If you want to run a pre-process on the publication, you might be required to set pre-processing settings. Before you start creating the publication, get the required parameter settings.

The following pages appear in the publication wizard for this type of publication:

General. Define basic publication properties.

Processing. If you want to run a pre-process on the publication, select a publication pre-processing workflow. If the pre-process includes parameters, the parameters appear in this page. The content of the page depends on the workflow parameters that the developer defines. The developer imports the workflow to

Data Integration Hub

with the parameter definitions. The developer also determines the layout of this page. If required, set the values of the parameters.

Source. Enter the location and name of the file or files that

Data Integration Hub

publishes. You must configure a file source for at least one topic table. When you use file transfer, select the connection to the source from which

Data Integration Hub

reads the files.

Schedule. Define the method and the frequency of data publishing. You can select to publish the data immediately after the published files are ready, to run the publication manually or by an external trigger, or to publish the data according to a schedule that you define.

If you select to publish the data immediately after the published files are ready, define the maximal period of time that

Data Integration Hub

waits before it publishes available files. When the maximal period of time ends,

Data Integration Hub

runs the publication even if not all the files are ready to be published.

Summary. Review the publication settings and save the publication.
