WebDAV (Input Agent Cron)
Introduction: Phase 1.
The data source WebDAV works in principle like the data source File, but the login on the target computer and the transmission of the data is encrypted.
(1) You can select a channel of type HTTP(S) and optionally also a certificate. Note: If possible, always use channels to centrally manage connection parameters. In addition to the increased clarity that also facilitates maintenance. If the connection parameters change, you only have to adjust the data in one place and you do not forget a profile.
(2) Directory to extend the URL with. It is not possible to specify multiple directories. You can also use timestamp components like <yyyy>, <dd>, etc.
(3) File name pattern that specifies which files in the destination directory are accepted. It is not possible to specify multiple file name patterns here.
(4) The read file can be handled in the following ways.
|
Delete |
Causes Lobster_data to delete the read file. |
|
Do not delete |
Causes Lobster_data not to delete the read file. Attention: If the file is not removed in any other way, this file will be read in again, the next time the profile is started. |
|
Rename |
Causes Lobster_data to rename the read file. The new file name can be specified in the associated field. You can use the following placeholders.
|
(5) If this checkbox is set, several instances of this profile can work in parallel. The checkbox Profile may only run in one instance must not be set for this profile.
Attention: If deleting or renaming of the file to be processed fails because a file with the same name already exists, for example, no job is started. If checkbox CronJob is considered on error if no data is found is set, an error will occur even if the file to be processed exists. The same applies if the size of the file to be processed exceeds a configurable value.
