The Batch Adapter provides Object Type Definitions (OTDs) that enable the creation of file transfer operations using FTP.
The Batch Adapter includes seven specific OTDs:
BatchFTP: The FTP OTD connects to external FTP servers.
BatchFTPOverSSL: The FTP over SSL OTD provides secure data transfer using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.
BatchSCP: The SCP OTD provides secure data transfer using Secure Copy Protocol with Secure Shell (SSH) as an underlying protocol.
BatchSFTP: The SFTP OTD provides secure data transfer using SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP protocol). SFTP protocol provides a range of operations on remote files, such as directory listings, and remote file removal.
BatchLocalFile: The local file OTD picks up or puts data files to local file systems.
BatchRecord: The record-processing OTD extracts records out of files, parses files into specific records, and defines the content of files as records.
BatchInbound: The inbound OTD receives a file, renames the file with GUID file name, and triggers the Business Process or Collaboration.
The Batch Adapter supports standard FTP in accordance with RFC-959.
