EBICS Configuration / EBICS Host
Parent topic: EBICS Host

EBICS Host: Advanced Tab

The host's Advanced tab contains several property settings fields.  These settings typically do not affect your ability to connect to a host.  However, you may want to change some of these settings when configuring a runtime environment.

See Setting advanced host properties for information about how to use and set the properties supported in all protocols. Properties available for EBICS include:

Add Mailbox Alias Directory to Inbox
Appends a subdirectory at the end of the host's configured inbox directory.  This allows files received through different  mailboxes to be kept separate.
Possible values: On or Off
Default value: Off
Add Mailbox Alias Directory to Outbox
Appends a subdirectory at the end of the host's configured outbox directory.  This allows files to be sent through different mailboxes to be kept separate.
Possible values: On or Off
Default value: Off
Add Mailbox Alias Directory to Receivedbox
Appends a subdirectory at the end of the host's configured receivedbox directory.  This allows files that have been sent through different mailboxes to be kept separate.
Possible values: On or Off
Default value: Off
Add Mailbox Alias Directory to Sentbox
Appends a subdirectory at the end of the host's configured sentbox directory.  This allows files that have been sent through different mailboxes to be kept separate.
Possible values: On or Off
Default value: Off

Default value: On
Command Retries
If an error or exception occurs during a command, the number of times the command should be retried.
Note: Command Retries does not apply to exceptions related to TCP/IP or ISDN dial-up connections. This is because dial-up connections are managed by the framework so that they can be shared across actions.
Possible values: 0 - n
Default value: 0
Connection Timeout
The amount of time allowed for each read operation.
Possible values: 0 - n seconds

0 indicates no timeout

Default value: 150 seconds

Possible values: Email addresses separated by commas (,), semicolons (;), or colons ( : ).  The first address should be an internal email address.
Default value:The value specified for this property on the Options > Advanced panel (if set).
Email On Repetitive Action Failures
When "Email On Fail" is enabled and the same failure occurs each time an action is run for a specific host, leaving this option unchecked suppresses emailing of the same alert multiple times.  If the same email alert continues to be suppressed after 24 hours, the suppressed email alert will be sent every 24 hours and after every system restart if the failure occurs again. When the failure is resolved an email alert will be sent.
Note: This feature only suppresses multiple emails if the same failure occurs multiple times in a row. Suppression is not maintained across synchronized hosts.
Possible values: On or Off
Default value: On
Encryption Algorithm
The method used to encrypt/decrypt payload.
Possible values:
  • AES/128

Execute On Check Conditions Met
After executing a CHECK command where the overall conditions are met, run a system command.  See Configuring email or execute based on results.
Note: This is a Cleo Harmony and Cleo VLTrader option.
Note: Note that if multiple files contribute to the conditions being met, and one of the file macros is in the command (e.g., %file%),  the system command will be executed repeatedly - once for each file.
Possible values: System command to be executed.
Default value: The value specified for this property on the Options > Advanced panel (if set).
Execute On Check Conditions Not Met
After executing a CHECK command where the overall conditions are not met, run a system command.  See Configuring email or execute based on results.
Note: This is a Cleo Harmony and Cleo VLTrader option.

Default value: The value specified for this property on the Options > Advanced panel (if set).
Execute On Fail
If an error occurs during a command, run a system command.  See Configuring email or execute based on results.
Possible values: System command to be executed.
Default value: The value specified for this property on the Options > Advanced panel (if set).
Execute On Repetitive Action Failures

When Execute On Fail is enabled and the same failure occurs each time an action is run for a specific host, leaving this option unchecked suppresses multiple executions of the Execute On Fail command.  If suppression of execution of the command for this failure continues after 24 hours, the suppressed Execute On Fail command will be executed every 24 hours and after a system restart if the failure occurs again.  When the failure is resolved, the Execute On Fail command will be executed again.  Users must account for this by including the %status% macro variable for the Execute On Fail command (see Using macro variables) and then checking for a success or failure.    

Note: This feature only suppresses multiple executions of the Execute On Fail command if the same failure occurs multiple times in a row.  Suppression is not maintained across synchronized hosts.
