CMAF2. MFT (Managed File Transfer)

Every business has a lot of file transferring applications. And also several commercial vendors have the dedicated file transferring products called MFT (Managed File Transfer). Even Gartner Group evaluates MFT products in Magic Quadrant. Let’s see what Gartner Group says.

According to Gartner Group: Managed File Transfer (MFT) suites allow businesses to manage and secure the transfer of data between two or more entities including applications and operating systems. We use the term "managed file transfer" to reflect the growing desire of businesses to manage all aspects of a file transfer not just securing communication.

Gartner “firmly believe that 65‐70% of application integration, both internally and externally is being done using FTP.”

MFT Manages More Than You Think, and Governs Too.   - Gartner ( Feb 3, 2010)

As one of architecture components in JCAF (JCAPS Common Architecture Framework), I developed MFT (Managed File Transfer). You don’t need to develop any batch applications to transfer files from/to Remote FTP/SFTP and DropZone area. Everything is configuration based. With Common Scheduler in JCAF, it will maximize your business investment and shorten your development life cycles.
Let's see what is MFT(Managed File Transfer) Framework Feature in JCAF.

One of CMAF (Common Architecture Frameworks)  Based on JCAPS Batch eWays  Central Configuration Repository for MFT  Scheduling by single CMAF Common Scheduler (One of CMAF Frameworks)  Dynamic Common Routing for Down Stream Service  Supports 7 MFT Services - MFT DropZone - MFT SourcePattern (FTP / SFTP) - MFT Source (FTP/ SFTP) - MFT Destination (FTP / SFTP)  Integrated with CMSF (Common Service Framework)  - Alert, Log, Warn - MFT Message Tracking  Easy Transformation with JCAPS Collaboration  Automatic FTP/SFTP Connection Retry  Automatic File Retransferring  File Correlations Support  File Encryption / Decryption based on PGP  Runtime Change for MFT Configuration without Rebuilding or Redeploying - Through Reload utility, any changed information will be reflected on MFT No File Size Limitation – Depending on OS(Operating System) - Refer to Example3_Batch_BigFileHandling_For_JCAF.doc with 2GB file.
