Execute Integration Server Service Task Configuration
You can configure the following properties for the Execute Integration Server service task:
Field
Description
Task name
Type a unique name for the task.
File filter
Type the name of the file if you want to filter files with specific names. By default, ActiveTransfer Server considers all files. If you want to use regular expression, specify a valid regular expression in File filter and select Use regular expression option.
Note:
You can use wildcard characters to filter the file names. For example, type *.zip to trigger the action only when ZIP files are uploaded or downloaded. To trigger an action based on a name string in the ZIP files, use the name string in the File filter box, preceded and followed by wildcard characters. For example, type *invoice*.zip to trigger the action based on the file URLs, when ZIP files containing the character string invoice in their file names are uploaded or downloaded. If you define a File filter for a task, the task acts only on files that are filtered out.
Few examples for regular expressions are:
*^(?!.*purchaseorder).*$: Excludes files with the file URL containing purchaseorder.
**/out/.*: Include files with the file URL containing the folder out.
*^abc(.*)123$: Includes anything that starts with abc and ends with 123. Matches abc123, abcxyz123, but not abcxyz123def.
*NEW-((*.doc)|(*_backup_*)): Includes anything starting with NEW- that either ends in .doc, or is followed by the string _backup_.
Service
Browse to select or type the Integration Server package that contains the service you want to execute from the list.
Include file path
Select this option if you want ActiveTransfer to provide the path of the target file to the respective service. The file path information is passed to the service as input parameter filePath.
Include file content
Select this option to pass the contents of the file to the service and select the transmission method (As bytes or As stream). The file content is passed to the service as input parameters fileContent and fileBytes, or as fileContent and fileStream. Code your input parameter as fileContent + fileBytes or fileContent + fileStream.
Note:
You can ignore this option if your service does not require the file content as input (for example, if the service only writes the name of the files being uploaded, or the names of the users who uploaded them).
Extract service output
Click to add the variables with Variable name that you want to assign to the output parameters of the service and the Variable path (iData path) of the output parameter.
Execute action even if there are no files
Select this option if you want to execute the task even when no files are passed on to this task from the previous task. For example, you might have a requirement to trigger an Integration Server service from a scheduled action after all the files in a folder have been successfully deleted. Another example could be invoking an Integration Server service for audit purposes even if there are no files available to be processed.
Execute error task
Select this option to execute an error task if the file operation fails. For more details, see Error Task Configuration.
The “Execute Integration Server service” task, runs the specified Integration Server service for each file in the list that is passed on to the task by the previous task. This task does not modify the list of files from the previous task.
