Additional Information on Parameterizing Event Actions
You can parameterize the settings of a scheduled event action at runtime. By parameterizing the event action settings, you reduce the number of events you would otherwise need to configure, especially when files are transferred across several source and destination file systems.
*For any remote file path, you can parameterize the URL but not the username and password. The runtime value for the URL should contain the username and password to be used. Provide the URL information in the format <protocol>://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>/<path>/. For example, FTP://user:password@ftp.softwareag.com/outbound/
Note:
If you use this format to parameterize the file path URL with values for the username and password, at runtime, ActiveTransfer ignores the values specified for the username and password parameters . This rule is applicable to the remote file URLs configured in the following actions:
Action
URL
Find action
: Find URL
Copy action
: Destination URL
Move action
: Destination URL
Unzip action
: Destination URL
Zip action
: Zip File Path
*Use the wm.mft.schedule:createRemoteURL service to create URLs in the ActiveTransfer Server format.
