Universal File Mover

Universal File Mover (UFM) is not a typical file transfer tool. It provides users with the required features for turning business processes into a workflow. Subsequently, the workflow provides information about the tasks, team members or clients involved, procedural steps, mandatory input and output data, along with prerequisite tools involved in each part of the business process.

With the help of this program, users can put together a UFM Workflow XML, which describes the steps and order of the steps that have to be taken in the business process. This is possible by combining a range of Action commands. In addition to the actions and their order, these commands define the workarounds to any errors that may occur.

There are currently 41 Action commands supported by Universal File Mover, which are categorized into five groups. Four of them are: WebSphere MQ Action (MQSend, MQReceive and MQPutQuit), Control Actions (If/Else, Loop, Sleep), Network Actions (HttpGetFile, HttpPutFile, Scp, SendEmail, Ffp, SFtp) and Other Actions (Echo, Launch, Execute, Schedule),

The File Actions group has the most commands: Copy, Move, Delete, Convert, Merge, Sort, MergeSort, Split Rename, Zip, UnZip, Tar, UnTar, Append, WriteText, ReplaceText, MakeDir, RemoveDir, Unique, SortUnique, ReEncode, DecryptFile, and Touch.

The WebSphere MQ Action commands are used for file transfers, in any combination, like receiving files via FTP and then sending them via SFTP. Data can be encrypted using AES and compressed before transferring it.
