Modularizing Profiles with include directive
- YADE's feature of importing profiles can be used to create generic parameter groups called "fragments".
- YADE's fragments are small sets of parameters which by themselves can't be used for file transfer, but can be combined with other fragments to create a complete profile.
- A transfer profile is a collection of parameters, e.g. of parameters such as source_host, target_host, file_spec etc. There is a terrific number of parameters in YADE that can combined with each other depending upon protocol etc.
Example 1: Profile without fragments: copy files from local host to target host using SFTP
[copy_to_sftp_server]
;; This is comment
operation = copy
;;
source_host = localhost
source_protocol = local
source_dir = ${local_dir}
;;
target_host = 8of9.sos
target_protocol = ftp
target_port = 21
target_user = kb
target_password = ****
ssh_auth_method = password
target_dir = ${remote_dir}
;;
file_spec = ^\.txt$
To execute a transfer with this profile from the command line type:
jade.sh -settings=name-of-your-configuration-file -profile=copy_from_sftp_server
Example 2: Profile with fragments: copy files from source host to localhost host using SFTP
;; localhost settings
[localhost_settings]
host = localhost
protocol = local
local_dir = ${local_dir}
;; 8of9.sos settings
[8of9.sos_settings]
host = 8of9.sos
protocol = ftp
port = 21
user = kb
password = ****
ssh_auth_method = password
local_dir = ${remote_dir}
;; profile with fragments
[copy_from_sftp_server]
;;
operation = copy
;;
;; include fragments
source_include = 8of9.sos_settings
target_include = localhost_settings
;;
file_spec = ^\.txt$
To execute a transfer with this profile from the command line type:
jade.sh -settings=name-of-your-configuration-file -profile=copy_from_sftp_server
