Some environments require additional configuration to transfer specific file types, ensure network connectivity, and optimize file transfers for your organization.
When adding or editing a job, click the Advanced tab to view and set additional configuration options.
Note: Advanced options vary by job type. Some configuration options may not be available for certain jobs.
Include File Patterns includes all file names/types by default. You can configure specific file patterns and extensions to include specific file types in your transfer. Separate multiple patterns with commas.
You can use expression characters to provide granular specificity to transfer jobs.
| Expression | Action |
|---|---|
* | Match zero or more characters |
? | Match a single character in a file name |
[...] | Match enclosed characters (e.g. [ch] matches files with c and h) |
[A-z] or [1-9] | Match a range of letters or numbers |
[^A-z] or [!A-z] | Do not match a range of letters or numbers |
Note: To search for files that contain expression characters in their name, escape the character using \.
You can also exclude subdirectories if necessary. To exclude a subdirectory at a specific level, use the @ character:
| Example Path | Description |
|---|---|
C:\Example\Subdirectory | Include Subdirectory |
C:\Example\@Subdirectory | Exclude Subdirectory |
Set the File Readiness Check Type to determine how the job will check if files are ready for transfer:
Select a Readiness Check Delay to set the pause, in seconds, between the two phases of MD5 Hash, Consecutive Seek, or Date/Time and Size file readiness checks. The default delay is 10 seconds. When choosing to Stream Growing Files, this is the time that must pass without file changes for the file to be declared complete.
Use the Source Data Action After Successful Transfer to set a file deletion option to remove files from the source storage after a successful transfer.
Ensure you have the most up to date version of the transfer utility installed on any Agents using object transfer:
In ObjectDownloader, you can select Directory Mapping Options.
Set a Job Date/Time and select the Maximum Job Date-Time Directories. The default is 10 directories.
Choose whether to Remove Expired Files/Directories on Target and set the Expiration Period, which is 30 days by default.
The Transport Options section modifies the protocol (UDP/TCP) and bandwidth used during a job run by Agents prior to or after files are uploaded or downloaded from object storage to an Agent. Modifying a job's transport options allows control over the way data moves between all of the Agents associated with an Object Mover job.
Note: Transport options do not control the way Flight Gateway works with cloud object storage.
Configure Simultaneous Transfer Streams to optimize transfer performance between Agents.
Enable Use UDP Control Channel for configurations where connections must pass from a perimeter network to an Agent within a private network that blocks TCP traffic.
Note: When Use UDP Control Channel is set to Yes, file transfers automatically use UDP WAN acceleration, which overrides the Use WAN Accelerator setting.
Select whether to Use WAN Accelerator. This setting uses all available bandwidth up to the user-specified bandwidth maximum. Use this option on high-latency, high-bandwidth networks where throughput is a top priority. If the throughput is less than 57200 Bps, the transfer will switch to TCP. WAN Acceleration is enabled by default.
Set the WAN Accelerator Aggressiveness to configure the job's sensitivity to other network traffic. The higher the level of aggressiveness, the less the job accommodates other network traffic. The WAN Accelerator Aggressiveness setting also specifies how aggressively the transfer attempts to reclaim bandwidth after packet loss.
There are three levels of aggressiveness:
Configuring a job to use limited bandwidth can improve network performance for other activities.
Set a Bandwidth Ceiling to configure the maximum throttle rate for the transfer. Enter 0 to enable auto-detection for the best bandwidth rate.
Set a Bandwidth Floor to configure the minimum rate at which data should be sent. Enter 0 to enable auto-detection for the best bandwidth rate. If WAN Accelerator Aggressiveness is set to Medium or Low, the rate specified here will be used.
Note: Bandwidth throttle control is a goal for the average transfer rate over the duration of the job. If the transfer rate falls below the bandwidth floor due to network congestion, bandwidth may exceed the bandwidth ceiling to bring the transfer rate within the required transfer rate.
Note: Once a job has started, all bandwidth throttles account for Daylight Savings Time (DST). If DST changes while the job is running, bandwidth time of day changes may be off by an hour.
Jobs can include a set Encryption Level. The default is No Encryption – unsigned.
Note: Mutual authentication is always used, regardless of the encryption level specified. Encryption is done in-stream and not on disk prior to sending.
Set a Delivery Mode to define the performance level and details recorded when conducting transfers.
Select the Log Detail Level. More detailed logs can result in slower transfer performance.
