You can use DataMigrator to build a flow that automatically sends the target file to a directory on an FTP server. This can be useful if, for example, a target file(s) has to be created on a remote FTP location. This feature is available for the synonyms of a Flat File and a Delimited Flat File. The synonym can be used in a Direct Load Flow, as well as in a Data Flow.
The examples in this section use a synonym for a Flat File in a Direct Load Flow.
Before you create and run the data flow discussed in this section, you must configure the Adapter for a Flat File. After the adapter is configured, you need to create the sample data and synonyms for DataMigrator - General. This will create the source and target synonyms that are used in the following examples.
To implement and run a flow that sends a target to an FTP server, you must:
