MFT FAN-OUT USE CASE SAMPLE

Oracle Managed File Transfer can transfer files on its own using embedded FTP and sFTP servers and the file systems to which it has access. In this use case, we will transfer same file to multiple targets.

To Design the above use case, we need to create three Artifacts in the Designer page of the Oracle Managed File Transfer Console. Three artifacts are source, Target, Transfer

Source: It defines the origin of file location of the file from which MFT will pick

Targets: It is the destination location where the MFT put the file.

Transfer: This artifacts links one source to one or more targets. 

Login to mft console open design tab and create source and select type as file because we will read file from local folder (where the MFT is running)

Create two targets with names FAN_OUT_Target1 and FAN_OUT_Target2

Create a transfer with name MFT_FAN_OUT

In the transfer, we will add the source and targets we already created

        

        Add Source

          Add target

Transfer has been created with one source(FAN_OUT_Source) and Two targets (FAN_OUT_Target1, FAN_OUT_TARGET2)

In the source, we will restrict the files it will read by providing the value in the content filter as below. Here we are restricting to read file with name Sample*.txt

Save the changes and Deploy the MFT_FAN_OUT transfer.We can see the deployed transfer in the Monitoring tab deployments section.

Now place the file in the source directory same file has been moved to two targets 

After file has been moved to target directory file is not deleted from source directory. We have the options in the Source to delete and archive the file after the transfer.
