Add incoming destination information when you need to override the default
inbox/filename or if EBCDIC translation or when special end-of-record processing is
required.
On the OFTP tab in the Incoming
section, click New to display the OFTP Incoming
Filter dialog box.
Identify incoming files.
If different incoming files are destined for different
directories/filenames or require different parameters, uniquely identify
the incoming file by specifying either a Virtual
Filename, Originator,
Destination,
Description or File
Format. Additionally, the Virtual Filename, Originator,
Destination, and Description can contain wildcards or regular
expressions if partial or global matching is needed on these fields. See
Using wildcards and regular expressions. If the File
Identification is left entirely blank, then the
File Destination and/or
Parameters specified below apply to all
incoming files for which the originator and destination match the
mailbox's trading partner ID and your ID respectively. If incoming
originator and/or destination values differ from the mailbox login IDs,
then the originator and/or destination values in the incoming filter
must be set to match (either exactly or via wildcarding or regular
expression) in order for the filter to be applied.
If globally allowing incoming originator and/or destination values to
differ from mailbox IDs in the Odette FTP Service, then the filter is
optional. See Local Listener Odette FTP Service.
Otherwise, if not globally allowing differing originator/destination,
then an incoming filter with originator/destination filled in is
required in order to accept the incoming file.
Specify a destination.
If the Directory is left blank, the host Inbox
directory under the OFTP Host: General Tab is
used. See OFTP Host. The host Inbox directory can be
further subfoldered by enabling Add Mailbox Alias Directory
to Inbox under the OFTP Host: Advanced
Tab. See OFTP Host: Advanced Tab.
If the Filename is left blank, the Virtual
Filename is used. If the filename already exists, a number is appended
to the filename to ensure uniqueness. This field can also include any of
the supported macros allowing for the inclusion of a date-time stamp in
the name of an incoming file, for example, as shown in the diagram
above. See Using macro variables (Destination File context) for
information about all applicable macros.
Optional. Specify destination parameters.
Translate from EBCDIC indicates that incoming
characters should be translated from EBCDIC to ASCII. EBCDIC
Encoding under the OFTP Host: Advanced
Tab specifies the encoding character set. See OFTP Host.
Trim Characters at End-Of-Record applies to the
OFTP Fixed file format only. The character or set of characters will be
trimmed from the end of each incoming record, when present. Use a 0x
prefix to specify hexadecimal character values.
Insert End-Of-Record Delimiter applies to the
OFTP Fixed or Variable file format only. The character or set of
characters should be inserted at the end of each incoming record. Use a
0x prefix to specify hexadecimal character values.
