Connect to a Server

From ONE Desktop, you can create server connections to enable the usage of certain steps and workflow tasks (SOAP Call, SOAP Multi Call, Jms Writer, Issue Reader/Writer, SCP/SFTP Download/Upload).

The Amazon S3 server connection enables encryption of the data sent to or stored on the server.

To learn more about how to connect to Ataccama ONE Platform, see Connect to Ataccama ONE Platform.

Register a new server

To create a new server connection:

In the File Explorer, right-click Servers and select New Server.
Select the Environment. For more information, see Environments.
Specify the server Name and select Implementation.
Configure the server connection based on your server implementation and select Finish.

Once the new server is registered, it shows up in the File Explorer tree.

While in development, right-clicking the server connection and selecting Connect should not be considered a valid connectivity test, and doing so is not necessary to enable step communication.

Implementations

The server running RDM or DQIT web application (see Importing and Exporting Issues, RDM Synchronization).
Generic URL resources, for example, to specify a remote host in the SFTP/SCP Download/Upload File workflow tasks.

Amazon S3

Connect to the Amazon S3 server to upload or download files stored there. Once the server connection is registered, you can use it as follows:

In workflows to operate on files.
In plans as an input or output in the Reader and Writer steps.

The drag and drop functionality is supported for files and objects on Amazon S3, Azure Data Lake Storage Gen 1, and Google Cloud Storage servers

Amazon S3 does not operate with a folder structure the way other systems do; it operates only with files. It is allowed to have a file with backslash (/) characters in its filename and is represented by the browser as a folder.

When you create a folder on Amazon S3, you create a file with a backslash in its filename. The resulting file and filename cause issues with operations such as Delete or Move in the Operate On File workflow task when removing the last file from the folder.

Therefore, we strongly recommend using the operation Mkdir in all of your workflow tasks whenever it is necessary. When using the Mkdir operation, your folder will be still available even after its last file is deleted.
