  3. To set up the directories to which to move the files, select Configuration > System Configuration.
  4. Open the system record. The DataFileDirectory on the Properties tab is the server directory to which the files were moved. The DestinationDirectory is a remote directory on the client server and is used only to move the files to another server or location. Use this if you are working on a server, in the cloud, or are using a third-party printing solution.
    If you are using the DestinationDirectory, you still must define a DataFileDirectory which is used for a staging directory. Files are staged there, moved to the DestinationDirectory, and then deleted from the DataFileDirectory. If you are working on premises, the DataFileDirectory must be an existing folder on the server on which the application is running. If you are not moving data to another location, then leave the DestinationDirectory Value field blank. If you are working in the cloud, you can set up the DataFileDirectory with any directory value. This becomes a “virtual directory” for processing. The DestinationDirectory setup is then required to get the output files to an appropriate location.

    Specify the location of the DestinationDirectory within the destination server in the Value field in DestinationDirectory. To set the access criteria to the destination server, you must create a File Transfer Connection record.

  5. To create a File Transfer Connection record, go to the System Configuration page, and click the File Transfer tab.
