Define SFTP Configurations

You can define the SFTP configuration directly from the Data Exchange work area without any need to define them externally in the BIP layer. SFTP configuration that you define can be used in Extracts with support for compression and encryption of data.

By avoiding the BIP layer for the SFTP definitions, it simplifies the configuration and improves the runtime efficiency. However, you can continue to use the SFTP definitions defined in the BIP Administration.

  1. From the Data Exchange work area, go to the Data Exchange Configurations region> File Transfer Configurations task.

  2. In the Configurations page click Add to create a configuration.

  3. Specify the info in the Details, Server, and Security regions.

  4. Click Save and Close.

Note: You can only use password-based authentication for your SFTP configuration in Extracts. HCM Extracts doesn't support key-based authentication.

SFTP configurations that you define are available in the Delivery Options section of the Extracts Definitions page. HCM Extracts doesn't store the files that you transfer to the SFTP hosts using the SFTP configuration locally. The files aren't available for download from the View Extract Results page. You can review these files only from the remote directory, where the files are delivered.
