Connections
FTP send supports optional outgoing connections to provide in-flow feedback about the operation
and to keep the job around without extra copying. This allows multiple send operations to be
chained in an intelligent manner; for example:
• Successively upload the same job to multiple FTP sites.
• Provide a fallback operation when an upload fails (for example, upload to a secondary site).
• Send an email with the URL of a job that was successfully uploaded to an FTP site.
FTP send supports traffic-light connections of the following types (other types are not allowed):
• Data error: carries the incoming job if the operation fails at the first attempt; if there are no
data error connections the tool keeps retrying the operation as specified in the user
preferences.
• Data success: carries the incoming job after the operation succeeds; if there are no data
success connections the output is simply suppressed (without logging a warning or error).
• Log success: carries a small log file in XML format after the operation succeeds; if there are
no log success connections the output is simply suppressed. The log file contains relevant
information about the operation such as destination, time sent, transfer time, list of files,
etc. SeeProcessing results schema on page 320.
• Data with log success: carries both the job and the log file (as metadata), allowing access to
the results of the operation through variables or scripting.
