Creating Transfer Objects

To encrypt a binary file during transport, read the data using a binary or text filter, apply an encryption filter, transfer the data, apply a decryption filter, and then write the data out using a binary or text filter. You could create your own filter objects in the Transfer Object Repository, but for convenience, DTS comes complete with many predefined filter objects for commonly applied data processing operations, so you can use those instead of creating our own.

Next, create transfer objects that define the data file transfer from the Solaris central server to each of the end systems. Create and configure one transfer object for each end system. These transfer objects must be the same except for the name of the receiving computer. Each transfer object must also reference the appropriate filter objects for binary read, encryption, decryption, and binary write.

You can create a transfer group object (also called a transfer job) and can add all the previously created transfer objects to it. Next, create a calendar that specifies that you can activate transfers every weekday.

Last, create a schedule object and set its time property to 22:00. Also reference the transfer group object that is previously created and the calendar, and enable the schedule object.

A DTS administrator or user can do all of the previously mentioned tasks for creating, scheduling, and activating the transfer by using the following:
