ActiveTransfer Asset Dependencies
Some assets require other assets. For example, users use assets such as templates and partners, and virtual file systems use assets such as users. For migrated assets to work properly, these required assets must also exist on the target system.
When a dependency exists, ActiveTransfer automatically exports or imports the dependent assets.
The following table lists all possible dependencies an asset might have, as well as specific instructions for migration where appropriate. The name you use for an asset on the target system must match the name on the source system, with the same capitalization.
Asset
Dependency
ActiveTransfer Server ports
ActiveTransfer Server ports have a dependency on the server instance to which they are configured.
ActiveTransfer Server preferences
ActiveTransfer Server preferences have a dependency on the server instance for which they are configured.
User profiles
User profiles have a dependency on user templates, partners, and server instances that define tunnels for the users.
Note:
If Trading Networks is installed, migrate partner profiles defined in Trading Networks separately.
Virtual file system folders
VFS folders have a dependency on users and partners who have been granted access to the folders.
Note:
If Trading Networks is installed, migrate partner profiles defined in Trading Networks separately.
Post-processing events and associated actions
Post-processing events have a dependency on users, associated VFS folders, and partners who have been granted access to the folders.
Partner mapping
Partner mappings have a dependency on Trading Networks partner profiles.
Note:
If Trading Networks is installed, migrate partner profiles defined in Trading Networks separately.
Scheduled events and associated actions
Scheduled events have a dependency on associated VFS folders and partners who have been granted access to the folders.
Note:
If Trading Networks is installed, migrate partner profiles defined in Trading Networks separately.
If a dependent asset is not present in the file being imported or is not present on the target server, ActiveTransfer Server does not import the asset. ActiveTransfer Server logs an error message and continues importing the remaining assets.
If the export file contains the dependent assets for any asset, the wm.mft.admin:importData service ensures that the required assets are migrated first so that no error occurs.
