Publication Source Properties for Pass-through File

When you use an automatic mapping with a pass-through file source, the

Source

page of the publication wizard can include the following properties:

Use File Transfer: Use file transfer to publish files from remote servers that reside outside the
Data Integration Hub
network.
Data Integration Hub
supports the FTP, SFTP, and FTPS protocols for file transfer.
Connection: Applicable when you use file transfer.
Name of the flat file connection from where the publication workflow reads the files to be published.
Delete Files from Source After Pickup: Applicable when you use file transfer.
Data Integration Hub
deletes the files after it reads them. You must have permissions on the remote server to delete the files.
Directory: Location of the source files.
If you use file transfer, you cannot use patterns to define the directory path. You can, however, use patterns to define the file name.

The publication workflow reads the publication files that you define from this directory. If the files that you define are not found in the this directory when the publication workflow runs,
Data Integration Hub
generates an error event.
Source Definition area: Click the edit icon next to a topic table to enter the name of the source file for the table.
The file name can include asterisk wildcards and variables. Enter variables in the following format:
($pattern)
. For example:
Input_($PublicationName)_($sequence).in
.

You must enter a source file name for at least one topic table.
