File Transfer Policy Group (Software Delivery)

The File Transfer policy group lets you set the following policies for software delivery bulk transfers. You can modify policy parameter values by double-clicking a policy to display the Setting Properties dialog.

DTS: Alternative routes

Indicates whether the use of alternative Data Transport Service (DTS) routes is enabled. Valid values are as follows:

-1

Try all alternative routes.

0

No alternative routes.

n> 0

n alternative routes will be tried.

Default: 0

DTS: ClientID

Defines the client ID.

Default: CASD11

DTS: Compress data files sent to Agent

Indicates whether compression is enabled. If False, compression is disabled when sending files to an agent.

Default: True

DTS: Compress data files sent to Scalability Server

Indicates whether compression is enabled. If False, compression is disabled when sending files to a scalability server library.

Default: True

DTS: Default maximum parcel size

Specifies the amount of raw data a DTS initiator agent reads before it applies any parcel filters and before it sends the data across the network to the responder agent. The unit value is in bytes. If set to 0, a default value of 512 KB is used.

Note: In the case where CA ITCM is integrated with CA Common Services (CCS), this parameter is overridden by the corresponding parameter specified in the WorldView component of CCS.

Limits: 0–2147483647

Default: 0

DTS: Default throttle factor

Specifies a delay interval between DTS parcel sends. A throttle value of 20 represents a one-second delay interval between parcel sends.

Note: In the case where CA ITCM is integrated with CA Common Services (CCS), this parameter is overridden by the corresponding parameter specified in the WorldView component of CCS.

Limits: 0–100

Default: 0

DTS: External filter (Internal)

Specifies the external filter.

Default: sd_dtaflt

DTS: Filter task 0 timeout

Specifies the timeout interval in minutes for DTS filter task 0.

Default: 10

DTS: Filter task 1 timeout

Specifies the timeout interval in minutes for DTS filter task 1.

Default: 10

DTS: Filter task 2 timeout

Specifies the timeout interval in minutes for DTS filter task 2.

Default: 10

DTS: Filter task 3 timeout

Specifies the timeout interval in minutes for DTS filter task 3.

Default: 1440

DTS: Filter task 4 timeout

Specifies the timeout interval in minutes for DTS filter task 4.

Specifies the timeout interval in minutes for DTS filter task 7.

Default: 10

DTS: Filter task 8 timeout

Specifies the timeout interval in minutes for DTS filter task 8.

Default: 10

DTS: Filter task 9 timeout

Specifies the timeout interval in minutes for DTS filter task 9.

Default: 10

DTS: Object description (Internal)

Specifies the object description.

Default: SD_DTPUSH

DTS: Parcel filter 0–DTS: Parcel filter 9

Identify built-in DTS parcel filters. The filters, if specified, are applied in the order they are specified, starting with Parcel filter 0, and applied on the receiving end in reverse order.

The syntax for each parcel filter is:

 @<separator character> DTS read parcel filter name [parameter ....] <separator character> DTS write parcel filter name [parameter ... ]

Note: The <separator character> should be chosen carefully; it needs to be distinctive from any other character appearing in the DTS read parcel filter name or its parameters. A space or blank should not be used for this character.

Default: empty

Example:

@? AES256_ENCRYPT ? AES256_DECRYPT
DTS: Server API timeout

Specifies the API server timeout interval in milliseconds.

Default: 300000 (300 seconds)

DTS: Server connect timeout

Specifies the server connection timeout interval in milliseconds.

Default: 300000 (300 seconds)

DTS: Server password

Specifies the logon password for the server.

Default: empty

DTS: Server protocol

Specifies the networking protocol for the server.

Default: TCP

DTS: Server TOS Protocol parameters

Specifies the server TOS protocol parameters. When the DTSFT program defines a transfer to DTS, it normally sets up the transfer using the default transfer properties determined by DTS. However, if you specify different values for the following parameters, DTSFT will use these values to override the default values for the associated transfer properties.

Default: IPORT=<8198> RPORT=<ANY>

DTS: Server user

Specifies the ID of the server user.

Default: empty

DTS: Session retry interval

Specifies that the retry time interval for the DTS session be overridden. When the DTSFT program defines a transfer to DTS, it normally sets up the transfer using the default transfer properties determined by DTS. However, a value specified here will override the default values for the associated transfer properties.

Default: -1

DTS: Session retry limit

Specifies that the retry time limit for the DTS session be overridden. When the DTSFT program defines a transfer to DTS, it normally sets up the transfer using the default transfer properties determined by DTS. However, a value specified here will override the default values for the associated transfer properties.

Default: -1

DTS: Shutdown poll interval

Specifies the shutdown poll interval in seconds, controlling how often the DTS handling component checks for a shutdown request.

Default: 1

DTS: To agent monitor progress

Specifies whether the progress indicator for transfers is enabled. A non-zero value specifies that progress should be monitored and files containing the value for the %Sent field be generated. If set to zero (0), the progress indicator is disabled.

Default: 0

DTS: TOS Server location

Specifies the location of the DTS TOS server if it is not located on the local computer.

Default: localhost

File Transfer plugin: Maximum cancel threads

Indicates the number of concurrent transfer job deletion threads to be executed by the file transfer plug-in (sdmgr_ft).

Note: There is no advantage in using more than one deletion thread at this time.

Default: 1

File Transfer plugin: Maximum create threads

Indicates the number of concurrent transfer job creation threads to be executed by the sdmgr_ft plug-in.

Note: There is no advantage in using more than one creation thread at this time.

Default: 1

File Transfer plugin: Maximum quick threads

Indicates the number of concurrent transfer job threads for simple actions to be executed by the sdmgr_ft plug-in

Note: There is no advantage in using more than one simple action thread at this time.

Default: 1

Internal NOS-less download: Encryption

Specifies whether to use encryption for NOS-less software package transfers. You can set the parameter value to Yes or No. Setting the value to Yes enables encryption for NOS-less software package transfers. However, setting the value to No does not use encryption for NOS-less software package transfers.

Note: When encryption is disabled for NOS-less software downloads, software delivery stops handling the security of the software packages and scripts transferred across the network. So, make sure that you use some other means to protect any sensitive information. However, other NOS-less transfers in software delivery initiated through API-server or -calls follow the default configuration (encryption is enabled) of the File Transfer Server plug-in..

Default: Yes

Internal NOS-less download: Throttling

Specifies the bandwidth limitation of each internal NOS-less software package download. If the value is set to Default, internal NOS-less downloads for software packages between a scalability server and an agent follow the default throttling value of the File Transfer Server plug-in. If a value other than Default is used, internal NOS-less downloads for software packages override the default throttling value and use the configured value. Valid values are Default, Unlimited, 4 Mb, 2 Mb, 1 Mb, 512 Kb, 256 Kb, 128 Kb, 64 Kb, and 32 Kb.

Default: Default

Recovery Journal: Cleanup interval

Specifies the cleanup interval in hours, controlling how often the DTS handling component processes the recovery journals to discard obsolete entries.

Default: 24

Recovery Journal: Maximum age

Specifies that sdmgr_ft journal entries older than the number of days indicated here be discarded. A value of 0 means never discard.

Limits: >=0

Default: 0

Recovery Journal: Maximum size

Indicates the maximum size in MB of the sdmgr_ft recovery journal at which point new entries will be logged to a new journal.

Default: 10

Transmission: Receive filter

Defines the command with its parameters for providing a receive filter. Use %s for the file to be filtered and %d for the resulting file.

Default: empty

Transmission: Send filter

Defines the command with its parameters for providing a send filter. Use %s for the file to be filtered and %d for the resulting file.

Default: empty

Virus Scan: Scan enabled

Indicates whether virus scan is enabled. Valid values are True (enabled) and False (disabled).

Default: True

Virus Scan: Scan timeout

Specifies the timeout interval in seconds for a virus scan.

Default: 600
