  • 1.  Automated File Transfer

    Posted Tue August 06, 2024 10:52 AM

    Hi - hopefully Im in the right location.

    We run Connect Direct to pull files from our Partner and we would like to automate the process.

    I have search and cannot find any documentation or videos on how to do this.

    Thanks in adavance!

    Hi Carlos,

    Connect:Direct provides some basic scheduling options in through its process language. You can schedule a process to run at a specified time on a date, everyday or on a weekday. For reoccurring timer events, specify STARTT=(date,time) and RETAIN=YES in your process or on the submit command.

    For example, STARTT=(Tuesday, 3pm) and RETAIN=YES starts the process every Tuesday at 3 pm.

    For more advanced scheduling, you may consider using your OS scheduler to submit a batch file, which submits the process through the CLI.
