By default, the agent expects bytarrays. If nothing else is stated, the documentation refer refers to input of bytearray.If the input type is MultForwardingUDR, the behavior is different. For further information about the agent's behavior with MultiForwardingUDR input, bytearrays.

The files will be are temporarily stored in the automatically created subdirectory subdirectory DR_TMP_DIR in the target directory. When an endBatch message is received, the files are moved from the subdirectory to the target directory.

Handling of Already Existing FilesFile

  • Overwrite - The old file will be overwritten and a warning will be logged in the System Log.

  • Add Suffix - If the file already exists the suffix ".1" will be added. If this file also exists the suffix ".2" will be tried instead and so on.

  • Abort - This is the default selection and is the option used for upgraded configurations, that is workflows from an upgraded system.

Use Temporary Directory

If this option is selected, the agent will move the file to a temporary directory before moving it to the target directory. After the whole file has been transferred to the target directory, and the endBatch message has been received, the temporary file is removed from the temporary directory.

Use Temporary File

If there is no write access to the target directory and, hence, a temporary directory cannot be created, the agent can move the file to a temporary file that is stored directly in the target directory. After the whole file has been transferred, and the endBatch message has been received, the temporary file will be renamed.

The temporary filename is unique for every execution of the workflow. It consists of a workflow and agent ID, and a file number.

Abort Handling

Select how to handle the file in case of cancelBatch or rollback, either Delete Temporary File or Leave Temporary File.

Note
titleNote!

When a workflow aborts, the file will not be removed until the next time the workflow is run.
