FTP Enterprise stage

Post by mydsworld »

I have a requirement to process (or FTP) some files from a Windows shared drive (FTP enabled) to DataStage server.Is that possible using 'FTP Enterprise' stage.

Thanks

Yes or no. The FTP stage can certainly move data, but it does not deposit the same on the DataStage server; if the FTP stage is performing a GET, the bytestream is fed directly into a DataStage job.

If you want to FTP files from one platform to another, use an ftp command, not an FTP stage.

If I have something like :

FTP Enterprise -> Sequential File

Then also will the data not be written into the disk .

Yes, it will. Still generally better to script something like that but you can do it that way if you like.
