Status

Read-only status of the export tag, typically “ok”, unless “disabled” (Enabled=false).

Enabled

Whether the tag will attempt an export on the next Join (true, the default) or not (false).

Supervisor Station

Click the drop-down control to select the NiagaraStation that represents the Supervisor (with enabled JoinProfile).

After selection, you must Save before you can use the folder (Select Parent Target) feature of the next property. Also, add (and delete ) controls exist to specify more than one Supervisor station; however, this configuration is rarely expected.

Station Slot Path

Parent slot path for the FileImport descriptor on the Supervisor, relative to the “Files” extension of the NiagaraStation that represents this station.

Leave this at the default value slot:files (the only valid value).

File Import Name

Name for the Niagara FileImport descriptor created in the Supervisor station. The default value ia a variable (%defaultFileImportName%), which results in a name that uses the name of source file (or folder) appended to “_Import”. For example, if the File is “file:^console.txt”, using defaults the name of the FileImport descriptor is console_Import. If desired, you can edit to an explicit name.

File

Specifies the local file or directory to import to the Supervisor. The default value is “file:^”, which imports all objects in the station’s local file space.

To select, click one of the right-side controls, either:

Example File property values are: file:^reports (for a “reports” directory in the local file space) and file:^reports/moreReports/subReport2.txt (for a single file found in a specific subdirectory).

Supervisor Directory

Specifies the target file directory on the Supervisor, in which file(s) are imported. The default value uses ord variables: “file:^stations$(stationName)$(currentLocation)”, to replicate a similar file/subfolder organization on the Supervisor, under a “stations” file subfolder for each station, including this one. Or, specify an explicit location in the Supervisor’s file space (file:^location). If the specified directory does not already exist, it will be created upon a Join.

Using the default (variable) property value, if choosing a directory, note its contents (including all sudirectories) are imported “one folder up” from the source (JACE) file location. To include the structure of the chosen directory itself, append it to the end of the variable, that is: /directoryName.For example, if importing a directory “reports” (File=^reports), enter a Supervisor Directory property value of file:^stations$(stationName)$(currentLocation)/reports

File Overwrite Policy

The standard File Overwrite Policy property for a Niagara FileImport descriptor, either Checksum (default) or Last Modified.

Execution Time

The standard Execution Time property for a Niagara FileImport descriptor, where the default is Manual. Other selections include Daily or Interval, where each provides a number of related parameters.

Use Category Mask

Boolean to specify whether the file(s) imported by this tag will have any export tag category filters applied (default is true). For related details, see CategoryFilters.
