Collection Strategy | If there are more than one collection strategy available in the system, a Collection Strategy drop down list will also be visible. For further information about the nature of the collection strategy, see 11. Appendix 4 - Collection Strategies. | ||||||||||
Directory | Absolute pathname of the source directory on the remote host, where the source files reside. If the FTP server is of UNIX type, the path name might also be given relative to the home directory of the User Name account. | ||||||||||
Include Subfolders | Select this check box if you have subfolders in the source directory from which you want files to be collected.
If you select Enable Sort Order in the Sort Order tab, the sort order selected will also apply to subfolders. | ||||||||||
Filename | Name of the source files on the remote host. Regular expressions according to Java syntax applies. For further information, see http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html.
| ||||||||||
Compression | Compression type of the source files. Determines if the agent will decompress the files before passing them on in the workflow.
| ||||||||||
If enabled, the source files will be moved to the automatically created subdirectory | |||||||||||
Append Suffix to Filename | Enter the suffix that you want added to the file name prior to collecting it.
| ||||||||||
Inactive Source Warning (h) | If enabled, when the configured number of hours have passed without any file being available for collection, a warning message (event) will appear in the System Log and Event Area: The source has been idle for more than <n> hours, the last inserted file is <file>. | ||||||||||
If enabled, the source files will be moved from the source directory (or from the directory
| |||||||||||
If enabled, the source files will be renamed after the collection, and remain (or moved back from the directory
| |||||||||||
If enabled, the source files will be removed from the source directory (or from the directory | |||||||||||
If enabled, the source files will remain in the source directory after the collection. This field is not available if is enabled. | |||||||||||
Destination | Full pathname of the directory on the remote host into which the source files will be moved after the collection. This field is only available if is enabled. | ||||||||||
Prefix and Suffix | Prefix and/or suffix that will be appended to the beginning and the end of the name of the source files, respectively, after the collection. These fields are only available if or is enabled.
| ||||||||||
Search and Replace | Select either Move to or Rename option to enable Search and Replace.
Search and Replace operate on your entries in a way that is similar to the Unix sed utility. The identified filenames are modified and forwarded to the following agent in the workflow. This functionality enables you to perform advanced filename modifications, as well:
| ||||||||||
Keep (days) | Number of days to keep moved or renamed source files on the remote host after the collection. In order to delete the source files, the workflow has to be executed (scheduled or manually) again, after the configured number of days.
| ||||||||||
Route FileReferenceUDR | Select this check box if you want to forward the data to an SQL Loader agent. See the description of the SQL Loader agent in 9.75 76 SQL Loader Agent for further information. |

Command Port | The value in this field defines which port number the FTP service will use on the remote host. | |||||
Timeout (s) | The maximum time, in seconds, to wait for response from the server. 0 (zero) means to wait forever. | |||||
Must be enabled if FTP passive mode is used for data connection. In passive mode, the channel for data transfer between client and server is initiated by the client instead of by the server. This is useful when a firewall is situated between the client and the server. | ||||||
Disables parsing of file detail information received from the FTP server. This enhances the compatibility with unusual FTP servers but disables some functionality. If file detail parsing is disabled, file modification timestamps will not be available to the collector. The collector does not have the ability to distinguish between directories and simple files, sub directories in the input directory must for that reason not match the filename regular expression. The agent assumes that a file named DR_TMP_DIR is a directory because a directory named DR_TMP_DIR is used when Move to Temporary Directory under the Source tab is activated. Therefore, it is not allowed to name a regular file in the collection directory DR_TMP_DIR.
| ||||||
Additional Hosts | List of additional host names or IP addresses that may be used to access the source directory, from which the source files are collected. These hosts are tried, in sequence from top to bottom, if the agent fails to connect to the remote host, set in the Connection tab. Use the , , , and buttons to configure the order of the hosts in the list. |
