Status

Read-only status of the file import descriptor, typically “ok”, unless “disabled” (Enabled=false). A “fault” status may sometimes occur—if so, the reason will be in the Fault Cause property.

State

Current state of the file import, as either Idle, Pending, or In Progress.

Enabled

Default is true. If set to false, file import does not occur.

Execution Time

Either Daily (default), Interval, or Manual.

Last Attempt

Date/timestamp of the last attempted file import.

Last Success

Date/timestamp of the last successful file import.

Last Failure

Date/timestamp of the last failed file import.

Fault Cause

Typically blank, unless the last import attempt failed. In that case, it provides the reason why the import failed. For example, if the original source file was removed or renamed, it may read similar to:

java.lang.Exception: Could not find Remote File: file:^images/tridiumLogo1.gif

Files

Specifies a file import target (Local)/source (Remote)“pair” using two fields. Click the . (add) icon, if needed, for additional pairs, or the (delete) icon to remove a pair.

File Overwrite Policy

The File Overwrite Policy property determines the criteria used for overwriting existing files upon any execution, with two choices: Checksum (default) or Last Modified.
