Configuring Policies for Onward File Transfer › Policy Transfer XML

Policy Transfer XML

When you upload a file into CA XCOM Gateway, it can be automatically distributed by using the CA XCOM Data Transport network. Every uploaded file is associated with a specific policy and CA XCOM Gateway retransmits the file according to the distribution requirements configured for that policy’s Policy Transfer XML (also known as Delivery XML). File distribution is achieved using the local CA XCOM Data Transport server, which can send the file to one or more remote server locations.

Example

If you upload a file to CA XCOM Gateway, using FTP, and you want CA XCOM Gateway to automatically retransmit the file by using the CA XCOM Data Transport server network, then you need to upload the file into a policy for which Policy Transfer XML is configured.

Files in CA XCOM Gateway can come from two sources, as follows:

• They can be uploaded into CA XCOM Gateway by a CA XCOM Gateway user, using the Web interface or the FTP interface.
• They can be transferred into CA XCOM Gateway from a CA XCOM Data Transport server.

You may have different onward delivery requirements, depending on the source.

Example

You may want to distribute files that a user uploads but not forward files if they originate from CA XCOM Data Transport.

To enable this, you can configure separate Policy XML to deal with each case, as shown below. In each case, the XML is optional and can be omitted if there is no requirement for onward transfer of files by using CA XCOM Data Transport.

Delivery Transfer XML for user uploaded files

If you upload a file into CA XCOM Gateway by using the FTP or HTTP interface, then this XML will be used by CA XCOM Gateway to distribute the file.

Delivery Transfer XML for CA XCOM Data Transport uploaded files

If you transfer a file into CA XCOM Gateway by using the CA XCOM Data Transport server, then this XML will be used CA XCOM Gateway to distribute the file.
