Universal File Mover

The Universal File Mover (UFM) application is more than a simple tool to manage the transfer of files. It allows the user to combine business processes into a workflow. A workflow describes the tasks, procedural steps, people involved, required input and output information, and tools required for each step in the business process. The user creates a UFM Workflow XML, which details the sequence of concatenated steps in a business process, by combining a series of Action commands. These Action commands define which actions are to be taken, the order of the actions, and how errors are to be handled. UFM processes the Action commands as per the UFM Workflow XML file.UFM can transfer files in 1 of 5 ways: WebSphere MQ, FTP, SFTP, SCP and HTTP. For example, UFM can retrieve a file from a remote server via FTP and then send it via WebSphere MQ to another server. UFM can move/transfer files in any combination the user wishes.
