Configuring File Agent

Once Integrated File Agent is installed, update the initialization parameter FILE.AGENT.PATH with File Agent’s absolute directory path and start/restart Connect:Direct Node.

Once File Agent is installed and the Connect:Direct Node is started, File Agent can be configured via Connect:Direct Web Services. For details, refer Connect:Direct Web Services.

Connect:Direct provides two permissions, Read File Agent & Update File Agent, via authorization bit mask (ABM), to restrict users from performing operations on the File Agent Configuration.
  • Users with Read File Agent permission can request to view File Agent Configurations via Connect:Direct Web Services.
  • Users with Update File Agent permission can request to update File Agent Configuration.
  • Users not having either of these permissions, are not allowed to perform any operation on the File Agent configuration from Connect:Direct.
Note: Use Authorization Bit Mask (ABM) to enable External Stats Logging permission for the user ID through which you will logon to Connect:Direct and submit process from Integrated File Agent to allow File Agent to write statistics record to Connect:Direct. Initialization parameter EXTERNAL.STATS.ALLOWED should also be specified to allow external statistics record identifier ‘YF’. For example, 
EXTERNAL.STATS.ALLOWED = (YF,)
