ObjectDownloader

ObjectDownloader takes files from object storage and transfers them to a specified folder on an Agent.

When the job runs, files and folder contents download to the specified Agent. When downloading single files and files from a subfolder, the files download 'flat', without subfolders. When downloading all contents from object storage, the file structure is preserved.

To create an ObjectDownloader job:

  1. From the Manager navigation menu, select Object Mover > ObjectDownloader.

  2. Click Add.

  3. Set a Job Name

  4. In the Source Specification section, set the Source Agent and Source Object Storage.

  5. In the Source Data field, enter the path to the files or folders included in the job:
    To transfer specific files, enter the full path to the file. (e.g /example.bin)
    To transfer all files from a subfolder, enter the subfolder name. (e.g exampleFolder)
    To transfer all contents from an object storage location, enter /.

  6. In the Destination Specification, select a Target Agent.

  7. Use the Browse button to set a Target Directory.

  8. Set your Notification and Logging preferences if required.

  9. Set the Schedule for the job if required.

  10. Click OK.

Once you have created your job, it will run on schedule, when activated by a workflow, or whenever you manually run the job.
