Enable the store_and_forward translator

The store_and_forward translator supports the store and forward functionality in batch mode. It executes the move_volume_files utility with a new -transfersaf argument. The utility queries the entire database for the extent of user’s files under local volumes and transfers them to their respective default volumes. The utility also creates and schedules a dispatcher task to delete the local volume files after the ticket expiry interval. Default local volumes are temporary local volumes that allow files to be stored locally before they are automatically transferred to the final destination volume. This functionality is referred to as store and forward functionality. Prerequisites Ensure that the store_and_forward.pl file under Dispatcher_Root\Module\Translators\store_and_forward has correct values specified for the user name (-u=) and password file (-pf=) parameters. If these parameters have values set as "CHANGE_ME", manually edit them, setting them to the correct values. Note The password file specified using the -pf parameter should be a file that is encrypted using "install -encryptpwf". Enable the translator Procedure Set the TC_Store_and_Forward preference. You must set this preference to enable store and forward functionality. Open the translator.xml file from the Dispatcher_Root\Module\conf directory and enable the StoreAndForward translator. In the Select Translators panel in TEM or Deployment Center, select the StoreAndForward translator. You must specify this value while enabling this translator using TEM or Deployment Center. This is generally the same as the Fms_bootStrap_Urls preference value. To set the store_and_forward translator as a repeat task, in My Teamcenter, choose Translation→Translate, select the translation service, and click Next. Select the Repeating option and click Finish to start the translation. Note The Repeating option does not appear by default. You must set the ETS.Repeating_UI.. preference to TRUE to display the repeating tasks functionality. To avoid unpredictable behavior, the (time) interval in repeating tasks must be greater than the translation time.
