File Transfer Maintenance

The File Transfer Maintenance (FUD) page displays file directories in a tree/grid format that users are allowed to access. On the FUD page, the user is able to perform authorized actions on the list of folders or files. Note: Folders cannot be selected for the Download action. Setup on the File Transfer Role (FTROLE) page determines what users can view/update/download. Refer to the "File Transfer" topic for more information.

The File Transfer Maintenance (FUD) page displays the following CGI disclaimer, “Please note that using this application may require you to upload sensitive personal information. It is recommended that you upload such information in accordance with your organization's privacy policy and use fields as designed to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information.” This text cannot be altered or hidden through extensibility.

Sites can append additional information to the CGI disclaimer on the Home Page and File Transfer Maintenance (FUD) page by specifying the text to be appended using the Configurable Text (CTEXT) record, where the CTEXT code equals FUDDCLM. The appended text will appear as a separate paragraph following the CGI disclaimer.

If the ENABLE_FT_AUDIT_LOG parameter is set to true on ERP Application Parameters (ERPCTRL), file transfer requests through the FUD page are logged to File Transfer Audit Log (FTAUDLOG).

If the NESTED_SEARCH_ON_FILE_TRANSFER_MAINTENANCE parameter is set to true on the ERP Application Parameters (ERPCTRL) page, the system will search across all sub-folders when accessing the File Transfer Maintenance (FUD) page. If set to false, the search is limited to the selected folder only. 

This setting allows users to control the scope of their search within the folder structure available at the site level, thus enabling the depth of the file search process. In other words, sites have the flexibility to enable nested folder search, which will search all sub-folders within the selected folder using the given keyword. This feature enhances the search process by providing additional depth, eliminating the need to search individual sub-folders for the same file name repeatedly.

Important Note: Enabling the nested search feature impacts system performance and increases search response time. The search response time may grow incrementally depending on the number of sub-folders and files within the selected folder. For example, a folder with thousands of sub-folders to search through could result in search response times of several minutes.

This page also supports Sorting and Pagination functions for grid records. Sorting allows users to view Folders/Files in the order they want and it is available on all the grid (Folders/Files, Date, and Size) fields. The pagination options help view a set of (20, 50, 100, 500) records per page based on the option selected.
