9. On the File Location tab, follow these guidelines to configure the settings:

   • Select Files are pushed to this node method for obtaining files.

     Note:

     Although the GUI allows FTP Pull to be selected, only FTP Push is supported for this solution.

   • Set the Check for new files period - enter a value in the field and then select seconds or minutes from the drop-down list. This is the amount of time the node waits before checking the input directory for new files. If you have a high data traffic rate, Oracle recommends lowering the time period setting to allow records to be processed more frequently. For this option, you must also set the Suffix of files to collect field - accept the default suffix or enter a different suffix so that the CC knows which files to process.

   • In the Local Directory field, enter the input directory where the node checks for files.

   • Select the desired File Pattern to identify the input file. When a simple prefix and suffix is not enough to identify an input file, you can refer to JavaDoc for class java.util.regex.Pattern to understand how to use regular expression as file filter, or you can contact Oracle Global Customer Care for assistance in configuring regular expression.

   • In the Prefix of Files after Collection field, enter a prefix the CC appends to all files after processing.

   • In the Suffix of Files after Collection field, accept the default or enter a suffix the CC appends to all files after processing.

   • Select the Delete Files After Processing if you want the CC to delete files after it processes them.

10. The Destinations tab displays the other nodes in the system and shows which node the current node is connected to, and the type of routing used. You do not need to configure any settings on this tab. An example is shown below. See the Offline Mediation Controller Online Help for more information on this tab.
