9.73.3.3 SFTP Forwarding Agent MultiForwardingUDR Input

When the agent is set to use MultiForwardingUDR input, it accepts input of the UDR type MultiForwardingUDR declared in the FNT folder. The declaration follows:

internal MultiForwardingUDR {
    // Entire file content
    byte[] content;
    // Target filename and directory
    FNTUDR fntSpecification;
};

The content of the MultiForwardingUDR will be stored at the path that you have set in the fntSpecification field. Use the APL functions fntAddString and fntAddDirDelimiter to set the value of this field. For further information about these functions, see 16. FNTUDR Functions in APL Reference Guide.

When the files are received they are written to temp files in the DR_TMP_DIR directory situated in the root output folder. The files are moved to their final destination when an end batch message is received. A runtime error will occur if any of the fields have a null value or if the path is invalid on the target file system.

A UDR of the type MultiForwardingUDR which has a target filename that is not identical to its precedent is saved in a new output file.

Non-existing directories will be created if the Create Non-Existing Directories check box under the Filename Template tab is selected, if not, a runtime error will occur. When MultiForwardingUDRs are expected configuration options referring to bytearray input are ignored. For further information about Filename Template, see Filename Template Tab in 3.1.6 Workflow Template.
