Usage of the YADE Client

File Transfer jobs are technically shell jobs that execute the YADE command line interface (CLI). Therefore the job script looks like this:

...

• The job script can make use of a number of JS7 - Job Environment Variables that are automatically available. This includes any environment variables prefixed with JS7 such as:
  • JS7_YADE_BIN points to the YADE start script that is available
    • for Unix from $JS7_AGENT_HOME/yade/bin/yade.sh
    • for Windows from %JS7_AGENT_HOME%/yade/bin/yade.cmd
  • JS7_YADE_DMZ_BIN points to the second YADE start script that is used for transfers with a YADE Jump Host available
    • for Unix from $JS7_AGENT_HOME/yade/bin/yade4dmz.sh
    • for Windows from %JS7_AGENT_HOME%\yade\bin\yade4dmz.cmd
  • JS7_YADE_CONFIG_DIR points to the YADE configuration directory that corresponds to the Agent's configuration directory, i.e. JS7_AGENT_CONFIG_DIR.
• The following arguments are used:
  • -settings expects the path to a YADE configuration file (*.xml, *.ini) that specifies the file transfer source, targets and profiles.
  • -profile expects the name of the profile to be applied from the the YADE configuration file.
    
  • -file_path can optionally be used as the path of a file to be transferred if not otherwise specified from the profile.
