SFTP Delivery Method Configuration

Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) is used in OPERA Cloud to transfer export files and scheduled reports to an SFTP location.

When SFTP is configured, you can transfer export files or scheduled reports directly to a defined location during OPERA Cloud’s End of Day process and/or other scheduled times.

Note:

To configure SFTP delivery in OPERA Cloud for export files or scheduled reports, you must first obtain an SFTP endpoint name. Please contact Oracle Customer Support at the following URL: https://support.oracle.com.
