FileCloner allows Data Transfer Service (DTS) users to send and receive copies of the original data flows to and from other DTS destinations. This allows parties to test new connections, without adversely impacting daily operations. For example, a DTS user may nominate another DTS party to receive the relevant flows once the original data transfer has been completed successfully. Both sending and receiving parties of an original DTS flow can nominate a third party using FileCloner to receive a copy of a flow.
This is a commercial service that is available to all DTS users, and may be specifically useful to those firms who are undertaking business operations including:
By default all data flow routes configured on customers’ DTN connections are unique, meaning they can’t be duplicated through normal Webtools access. File Cloner is a commercial solution that allows for copies of both inbound and outbound data flows to be sent to one or more DTS connections.
For large and complex projects involving multiple parties, you can combine inbound and outbound flow copy configurations.
For inbound flows, you must have data flow routes set up to receive the original data. Your partner companies must also have DTS connections set up in order to receive copies of the data. Copies will only be generated once the original data flow has been delivered. It essentially works like a CC in an email as shown in the example here.
For Outbound flows the recipient party must have a DTS connection and data flow routes configured for you to send them your data flows.
Your partner companies must also have DTS connections set up in order to receive copies of the data.
Copies will only be received once the original file has been delivered.
