- Configuration of the Fragments - i.e. the protocol, connection and authentication methods to be used for the source and target parts of the operation.
- Configuration of the Profile - i.e. the operation to be carried out (e.g. copy or move), the fragments to be used for the source and target parts of the transfer and any specific directories that are to be used.
- Note that the Profile can also be used to specify other elements such as any notifications to be made or preprocessing that is to be carried out. These will be described later on.
- Calling the Configuration and Profile from the command line, a batch file or via the JADE API.

: Fragment Configuration Considerations
...
The Remote Source Fragment
The first step in the configuration is to configure the ProtocolFragments to be used for the transfer. Other fragments are not required for this example.
...
- Only a basic connection with a host name and optional Port number is possible - URL connections are not possible.
- Only basic authentication with an Account (i.e. user name) and optional Password is possible: SSH authentication, for example is not possible.
...
The Remote Target Fragment
It is not necessary to define a fragment for the target part of the operation as this takes place locally and the target directory is specified as part of the transfer profile.
Step 2
...
: Profile Configuration Considerations
The second configuration step is to define the Profile, which is operation-specific. For example, a Profile for a Move Operation requires source and target to be specified where as a Remove operation only requires a source.

Note that once again the XML hierarchy shown above is simplified through the omission of the majority of optional elements.
Step 3

: Calling the Configuration Profile
The configuration profile is specified with two parameters when JADE is called from the command line:
