Input Type

The agent can act on two input types. Depending on which one the agent is configured to work with, the behavior will differ.

The default input type is bytearray, that is the agent expects bytearrays. If nothing else is stated the documentation refers to input of bytearray.

If the input type is MultForwardingUDR, the behavior is different. For further information about the agent's behavior in MultiForwardingUDR input, see ADLS2 File Forwarding MultiForwardingUDR Input. 

Directory

Absolute pathname of the target directory on the location stated in the referenced File System profile, where the forwarded files will be stored.

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

Create Directory

Select this setting to create the directory, or the directory structure, of the path that you specify in the Directory field.

Compression

Compression type of the target files. Determines if the agent will compress the files or not.

- No Compression - agent does not compress the files. Default setting.

- Gzip - agent compresses the files using gzip.

Command

If a UNIX command is supplied, it will be executed on each successfully closed temporary file, using the parameter values declared in the Arguments field.

Arguments

This field is optional. Each entered parameter value has to be separated from the preceding value with a space.

The temporary filename is inserted as the second last parameter, and the final filename is inserted as the last parameter, automatically. This means that if, for instance, no parameter is given in the field, the arguments will be as follows:

$1=<temporary_filename>   $2=<final_filename>

If three parameters are given in the field Arguments, the arguments are set as:

$1=<parameter_value_#1> $2=<parameter_value_#2> $3=<parameter_value_#3> $4=<temporary_filename> $5=<final_filename>

Produce Empty Files

If enabled, files will be produced although containing no data.

Block Size (MB)

The size of each block to be staged. It determines the number of requests that are required.

Max Concurrency

The maximum number of parallel requests to be provided at any given time. The value entered will apply to each API.

Max Single Upload Size (MB)

The maximum size to upload a single batch of files. If the size of the data entered is less than or equal to this value, the data will be uploaded in a single batch instead of several batches. 

If the data is uploaded as a single batch, the Block Size will be ignored.
