Hi Team,
I am setting up a FTP job (in Unix machine) and my purpose will be to FTP files from my machine (where agent is also available) to different unix machines (CA agent won't be available).
I have checked the agentparam.txt and it has been setup as an FTP client. (
Documentation says so)
plugins.start_internal_6=ftp
ftp.noserver=true
ftp.ssl.provider=IbmX509
Question 1: Can I do FTP like this? From a machine that have CA agent to another which dont have CA agent? OR is it neccesary that other machine needs to have a CA agent configured as FTP server?Below is the FTP job I have created -
insert_job: test_FTP_job job_type: ftp
machine: localhost
owner: <my user id>
application: <my app ID>
alarm_if_fail: y
alarm_if_terminated: y
send_notification: n
ftp_server_name: < IP of machine to which I do FTP >
ftp_user_type: Simple
ftp_transfer_direction: UPLOAD
ftp_transfer_type: B
ftp_local_user: <my user id>
ftp_local_name: <my local file path>
ftp_remote_name: <my remote file path>
ftp_use_ssl: y
Here we dont have a field for FTP password and my research say thats it need to be registered first under 'Credentials' tab in '
CA Workload Automation AE - DEV' web interface. Iin this screen, I tried to enter my userid & password, but it wasn't accepting and keeps showing 'invalid'.
Question 2: Is my understanding correct that FTP job will pick userID and password from this screen?
Doing further research, I found this documetation (last paragraph) which says FTP users need to be added under "Scheduling Manager". But I couldn't locate a documentation which explains how to do this.
Question 3: Is there a documentation available explaining how to add FTP users to an agent?
Regards,
Anand
