Attributes Tab

The Attributes tab is object type-specific and is only available in "FileTransfer" objects. All settings that are necessary to execute a file transfer are defined in this tab.

Object: FileTransfer
Object class: Executable object
Object type (short name): JOBF

Contents

Field/Control

Description
Attributes  

Group

If the file transfer should be started by a group, you can select this group here. If there is no entry, the file transfer is activated immediately.

Note that the entry that is specified here is not considered if the file transfer starts through a Workflow object, a Schedule object or as a recurring task.
Queue Selection of a Queue object in which the file transfer should be processed. The file transfer automatically starts in the Client Queue (object name: CLIENT_QUEUE) if nothing has been specified in this field.

Int. Account

Specification of an internal account.

Contents do not affect the AE system's internal processing. You can access the attribute "Int. Account" with script elements and integrate it in your processes.

Consumption ... (Resources)

Resources that are consumed during the execution.

Allowed values: "0" to "99999"
Default value: 0

 The resource value that the administrator has defined with the key "WORKLOAD_DEFAULT_FT" in the variable UC_SYSTEM_SETTINGS is used if value "0" is selected.

AE priority ... (0-255)

Priority that should be used to execute this file transfer in AE.

Allowed values: 0 to 255
Default value: 0

  The priority that the administrator has specified in the variable UC_CLIENT_SETTINGS with the key "TASK_PRIORITY" is used if you select value "0".

TimeZone

The time zone that should be used.

Attribute Dialog

If this check box is selected, a dialog will be displayed at activation in which you can modify the attributes for the current execution of the file transfer.
Generate at runtime Select this check box if the object should not be generated at activation time but at runtime.

Tasks running parallel

 

Max ...

Setting that defines the maximum number of parallel executions for this file transfer.

Allowed values: 0 to 99999
Default value: 0 (no limit on tasks running parallel)

Examples: 

Max. "1" - At any time, not more than one file transfer execution must be available.
Max. "2" - At any time, not more then two active file transfer executions must be available.
etc.

Else: Wait Abort

Instruction that defines how this file transfer should be handled if the execution exceeds the specified maximum number of tasks that can run at the same time.

Wait = The file transfer waits until execution is possible.
Abend = The file transfer is interrupted.

Deactivate autom. when finished

The workflow's settings for automatic deactivation apply for file transfers that are processed as part of this workflow. These settings overrule the settings of subordinate tasks.

 If the Activity Window includes many tasks that are not automatically or manually deactivated when they are finished, this can negatively affect performance and the Activity refresh cycle.

Never

The file transfer is not automatically deactivated and remains visible in the Activity Window after it has been executed.

After error-free execution

The file transfer is automatically deactivated after its successful execution. Interrupted file transfers remain visible in the Activity Window and must be deactivated manually.

You can additionally specify a particular status for the error-free execution and a time delay for de-activation. Do so by using the fields Error-free status and/or Time delay ... Minutes.

If this value is set also via the UC_CLIENT_SETTINGS, the setting in this field will be considered according to the following rules:

  • Task delay time = 0: The setting in UC_CLIENT_SETTINGS applies.
  • Task delay time > 0: The setting in UC_CLIENT_SETTINGS is ignored.

After an error-free restart

The file transfer is automatically deactivated after a successful restart. Previously interrupted file transfers are also deactivated.

You can additionally specify a particular status for the error-free execution and a time delay for de-activation. Do so by using the fields Error-free status and/or Time delay ... Minutes.

If this value is set also via the UC_CLIENT_SETTINGS, the setting in this field will be considered according to the following rules:

  • Task delay time = 0: The setting in UC_CLIENT_SETTINGS applies.
  • Task delay time > 0: The setting in UC_CLIENT_SETTINGS is ignored.

Error-free status

Status that confirms a successful file transfer execution. If no status is selected, the system-return codes 1900 - 1999 (ANY_OK) represent error-free execution.

Always

The file transfer is always automatically deactivated after it has been executed.

Additionally, you can specify a time delay for a deactivation in the "Time delay" field.

If this value is set also via the UC_CLIENT_SETTINGS, the setting in this field will be considered according to the following rules:

  • Task delay time = 0, The setting in UC_CLIENT_SETTINGS applies.
  • Task delay time > 0: The setting in UC_CLIENT_SETTINGS is ignored.

Time delay ... Minutes

The file transfer is automatically deactivated after a specified number of minutes. You can manually deactivate it before this time is over. The time difference only affects file transfers whose execution also resulted in an automatic deactivation.

Some of the settings that are specified in this tab can be read and modified at runtime. Attributes of this object are accessed by using script elements. If the checkbox "Attribute Dialog" is active, the user can influence the attributes. The script accessed the attributes subsequently.
