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

  1. Create and name the connector service request as described in Creating a Service Request.

  2. On the Connector design page, click the Connection field and select a connection under the FTP category.

    If there are no connections available for an FTP connector, ask your system administrator to create one. See Creating a Soft Coding Record for an FTP Server Connection (Orchestrator Studio 6.1.0).

  3. Click the Report option and complete these fields:

    • 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 returned from a report service request to this variable. You can modify the variable name if desired. Or you can delete the variable (including the special characters) and replace it with an actual job number.

    • 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 desired. Or you can delete the variable (including the special characters) and replace it with a server name.

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

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

  4. Click Save.
