• Automatic: Establishes a physical connection when an external connection is instantiated.

• Manual: Does not automatically establish a physical connection when an external connection is instantiated.

  If a physical connection is not automatically established, a physical connection must be established from the Collaboration (for example, by calling the connect() method).

  If BatchFTPOverSSL Connection Mode is set to Automatic, the following Environment parameters must be set with valid values for the FTP and SSL Settings:

  • FTP Host

  • Explicit port for FTP over SSL (this must be set if the BatchFTPOverSSL Connectivity Map property, Secure Mode is set to Explicit SSL)

  • Implicit port for FTP over SSL (this must be set if the BatchFTPOverSSL Connectivity Map property, Secure Mode is set to Implicit SSL)

  • User ID

  • Password

The default is Automatic.

• Key Store Location (this must be set if the BatchFTPOverSSL Connectivity Map property, Require Server Authentication is set to Yes, or if the BatchFTPOverSSL Connectivity Map property, Distinguished Name for User contains a value, indicating that client authentication is required)

• Key Store Password (this must be set if Key Store Location is set)

Also, if a firewall is enabled and the Connectivity Map property, Firewall Settings ⇒ Use Firewall, is set to Yes, the following Environment parameters for Firewall Settings must be set with valid values:

• Firewall Host

• Firewall Port

• User

• Password

Options include:

• Leave value blank: BatchFTPOverSSL will use a default location as the temporary directory.

• Specify a path to a local file system folder with read/write permissions.
