Hi,
I am using multiple URI's in FTP Enterprise Stage inorder to read different files located on a single remote server. The job works fine.
The question is , if 5 different files are being accessed using 5 URI's from single remote server, does this mean that the stage will try to establish connection to the remote server five times or is it establish connection once and then read the five files?
The URI's look like:
URI1: ftp://remoteservername.domain.com/'File1'
URI2: ftp://remoteservername.domain.com/'File2'
URI3: ftp://remoteservername.domain.com/'File3'
URI4: ftp://remoteservername.domain.com/'File4'
URI5: ftp://remoteservername.domain.com/'File5'
Password and Username are just entered once since the remote server is same.
Thanks

If you set your FTP Enterprise Stage in parallel Mode, then for each File is another partition used. Each partition does it's own ftp call and establishes its own ftp connection. All connections work in parallel. In your example you will get 5 connections to the ftp server and all work parallel.
The option "force parallism" in the ftp enterprise stage changes this behaviour a bit. If you set this option, the maximal count of parallel connentions is only the count of nodes in your APT_CONFIG_FILE. That means, if you have more files in your stage than nodes in your config file, then the stage limits the count of connections to the count of nodes.
