Cloud Download and Upload Actions

(Requires CCM) Cloud storage actions are used in Event Rules to copy and move files to cloud storage and/or download files from cloud storage. Clicking the cloud storage link in those actions allows you to specify the storage. When you use a Cloud Object Monitor event, the Cloud: Download action is added automatically. Then you can add the Cloud: Upload action (or other actions).

These instructions assume you have already created your cloud storage and know the connection details to provide to EFT. It is recommended that you configure your cloud connector first in a Connection Profile.

NOTE: Do not confuse cloud Actions with the File Transfer module, which provides copy, move, upload, and download from non-cloud storage.

For Upload and Download actions, configure the Rule as described below

  1. Follow the procedure in Defining Event Rules to add an event to the Rule Builder and then add the Cloud: Download or Cloud: Upload Action.

  2. In the Rule Builder, click in the Cloud: Download or Cloud: Upload action. The configuration wizard appears.

  3. In the Copy/Move and Download wizards, the Cloud Connector Configuration page allows you to specify the cloud provider storage and other details, based on which cloud provider you specify. You could also configure a cloud provider in a Connection profile to avoid having to configure connection details for every Event Rule. Refer to Defining a Connection Profile for details of connecting to cloud storage.

  4. In the Source Object page of the wizard, specify the source Object name. You can specify filenames, paths, or context variables, and specify whether to Delete object file after it is downloaded and to treat missing source file as succes.

  5. Specify the Destination path for folder and filename (optional). Context variables can be used here also. You can also specify what to do with matching filenames (Overwrite, Skip, or Numerate) and rename the transferred file.
