Configuring Policies for Onward File Transfer › Policy Transfer XML Schema

Policy Transfer XML Schema

Policy Transfer XML is a CA XCOM Data Transport configuration file containing the TRANSFERCONTAINER XML entity. TRANSFERCONTAINER XML is normally created using the CA XCOM Data Transport GUI or CA XCOM Management Center and does not usually need to be authored manually. However, a complete XML schema can be found in the following file:

<CA XCOM Data Transport HOME>\Config\TransportInterfaceSchema.xsd

TRANSFERCONTAINER XML

The TRANSFERCONTAINER XML contains one or more TRANSFERITEMs, with each TRANSFERITEM defining all of the attributes associated with a transfer to a single destination. By including multiple TRANSFERITEMs within the TRANSFERCONTAINER you can request that a file should be distributed from CA XCOM Gateway to several locations.

The TRANSFERCONTAINER XML element contains a subelement defining a local machine. This can be any machine on which CA XCOM Data Transport is installed but, because it identifies the CA XCOM Data Transport server that will initiate the file transfer, it is usual to specify the local machine, that is, the same machine on which the CA XCOM Gateway server is running.

TRANSFERITEM XML

The TRANSFERITEM XML element contains an ACTION attribute and elements defining a local file, together with a remote file and machine. Usually, the SENDFILE action is specified, which indicates that the file is to be transferred from the local machine to the remote machine. However, it is also possible to specify a SENDJOB or SENDREPORT action, or even a RECEIVEFILE action to request the sending of a file from the remote machine to the local machine. For more information about these actions, see the CA XCOM Data Transport User Guide.
