File channel/receiver question

Jim Norbut

WE ARE HOSTED BY INFOR

Currently have Rich Client 10.1.1.67.5369

Have successfully created 

 

FILE CHANNEL

File Channel Type : Remote

• Source File Directory : /FROEDTERT/LSAPPS/SCHEDULER

         (this folder we created ourselves on the S3 FTP server we have access to via CuteFTP or similar products and notice the unix folder convention '/')

• Match Case : Ignore Case
• Error file Directory : DFROEDTERTLSAPPSSCHEDULERERROR
• In-Progress Directory : DFROEDTERTLSAPPSSCHEDULERINPROGRESS

        (these folders apparently need to be "local".....which I assume means are on the GHR server ? as far as I know we never created them because we have no     FTP access to the GHR side of our world and notice the windows folder convention '')

• Interval : 5 minutes
• Host :  i.p. address of our S3 server we have access to
• Protocol : Ftp
• User : userid that has access to S3 FTP server
• Password : ************ 

------------------------------------------------------------

FILE RECEIVER

• File Name :  *.csv
• Ignore Delete errors has a check in it
• Process attached is a processflow which for right now just emails me...just so I know it found the file and kicked off the WU
• Data : FileName

 

------------------------------------------------------------

all this works well.....I drop a .csv file in the source file directory....it grabs it.....it then disappears into the netherworld...and I get an email from the processflow/workunit

 

 

now for the questions.....

Based on documentation I've found w/ INFOR and other places it seems like we may be missing a "processed" folder option in the File Channel.....is that in a newer version of Rich Client ? 

Since we are hosted and don't have access to GHR system via FTP or command line..I'm assuming the error file directory and inprogress directory in the file channel must get created on the fly if they don't exist already ?

It seems that the design is to have the file channel grab the file...and then it disappears. Is there a way to save it somewhere prior to deletion since apparently were missing that "processed" folder option. (i.e. is it gone by the time the workunit gets kicked off ?)

Any way to have the error file directory or in-progress file directory be not local to the GHR server ?

We are cloud and have access to both ftp servers (S3 and landmark). The processed and errors folders need to be set up on the landmark server. It sounds like you need to get access to your landmark server. We use Filezilla and Infor made our user names the same for both servers. Once you have access to landmark, you can set up the processed folder on your landmark server. And yes, the input file goes directly to processed once the WU starts.
