Configure an FTP Connector to Transfer the Output of a Report Service Request

  1. Click the Connectors icon on the Orchestrator Studio Home page.

  2. On the Connectors side panel, click the New drop-down menu and select FTP.

  3. Create and name the connector service request as described in Creating a Component.

  4. On the Connectors design page, click the FTP field and select a connection.

    If no connections are available for an FTP connector, ask your system administrator to create one. See Creating a Soft Coding Record for an FTP Server Connection

  5. Click the Report option and complete these fields:

  6. Execution Server. Enter the server where the report was generated. By default, this field contains a variable. When you add this connector to an orchestration, you can map the name of this server from the report service request, which returns the name of this server. You can modify the variable name if you want. Alternatively, you can delete the variable (including the special characters) and replace it with a server name.

    • Job Number. By default, this field contains a variable. When you add this connector to an orchestration, you can map the job number of a report that is returned from a report service request to this variable. You can modify the variable name if you want. Alternatively, you can delete the variable (including the special characters) and replace it with an actual job number.

    • File Type. Select the type of file that the FTP connector will transfer. The default is PDF for standard EnterpriseOne reports. If you are transferring an embedded BI Publisher report, select one of the BI Publisher file types.

    • Path Extension. Enter the name of the subdirectory on the third-party FTP server where you want the report output to be sent. The FTP Connection already contains information for the base folder.

  7. Click Save.
