Oracle Managed File transfer in one shot..!

Oracle Managed File Transfer lets you perform the following operations during the transfer process:

·         Scheduling

·         Resubmitting

·         Attaching inline or referencing

·         Compression and decompression

·         Encryption and decryption

·         Archiving, renaming, and deletion

·         Purging transfer instances and files

·         Pausing and resuming

Oracle Managed File Transfer lets you track and troubleshoot file deliveries (transfer instances) based on the following:

·         Success, frequency, and failure statistics

·         Metrics, recent errors, file finder, and active deliveries

·         Error information table

·         Active delivery progress table

·         Reports for individual deliveries

Oracle Managed File Transfer lets you transfer files to and from many endpoint types:

·         File and FTP based endpoint types:

·         File: Transfer files from or to directories accessible to the Oracle Managed File Transfer server.

·         FTP Embedded: Transfer files from the embedded MFT FTP (File Transfer Protocol) or FTPS (FTP with Secure Socket Layer) server by copying the file into one of the embedded server directories.

·         sFTP Embedded: Transfer files from the embedded sFTP (Secure Shell FTP or SSH-FTP) server by copying the file into one of the embedded server directories.

·         FTP Remote: Transfer files from or to a remote FTP or FTPS server.

·         sFTP Remote: Transfer files from or to a remote sFTP server.

·          SOAP web-services based endpoint types:

·         SOAP: Transfer files from or to Simple Object Access Protocol web service endpoints inline or by reference to a folder location.

·         SOA: Transfer files from or to Oracle SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture) web service endpoints.

·         Service Bus (OSB): Transfer files from or to Oracle Service Bus web service endpoints.

·         ODI: Transfer files from or to Oracle Data Integrator web service endpoints.

·         B2B based endpoint types:

·         B2B: Transfer files from or to Oracle B2B (Business to Business) trading partners.

·         Healthcare: Transfer files from or to Oracle B2B for Healthcare endpoints.

Oracle Managed File Transfer is especially good for

·         Transfer of large files limited in size only by the operating system and capacity of the file system.

·         Transfer from a single source with fan-out to many targets.

·         Detailed auditing and recording of all transfers.

·         Advanced security for transfers.

·         Advanced transfer management, such as restart and pause/resume.

·         Use of an embedded FTP or sFTP server.

Oracle SOA Suite is especially good for:

·         Orchestration or complex integration, such as fan-in from multiple sources.

·         Integration with enterprise systems such as messaging or ERP.

·         Manual tasks, content based routing, or transformations.

B2B is especially good for:

·         Scenarios in which document format is relevant (for example, HL7, EDI, and so on).

·         Scenarios in which additional semantics, such as AS2, are required.

Designers: Designers perform these tasks:

• Create, read, update and delete file transfer sources.
• Create, read, update and delete file transfer targets.
• Create, read, update and delete transfers, which link sources and targets in file delivery flows.
• Deploy and test transfers.

Monitors: Monitors perform these tasks

·         Use the Dashboard and reports to ensure that transfer instances are successful.

·         Pause and resume lengthy transfers.

·         Troubleshoot errors and resubmit transfers.

·         View artifact deployment details and history.

·         View artifact dependency relationships.

·         Enable and disable sources, targets, and transfers.

·         Undeploy sources, targets, and transfers.

·         Start and stop embedded FTP and sFTP servers.

Administrators: Administrators perform these tasks:

·         All file handler tasks

·         All designer tasks

·         All monitor tasks

·         Add other users and determine their roles

·         Configure user directory permissions

·         Configure the Oracle Managed File Transfer server

·         Configure embedded FTP and sFTP servers, including security

·         Configure B2B and Healthcare domains

·         Backup and restore the Oracle Managed File Transfer configuration

·         Purge transferred files and instance data

·         Archive and restore instance data and payloads

·         Import and export metadata
