Managed File Transfer
One of the compelling characteristics of a Managed File Transfer
(MFT) suite is its ability to maintain performance, and provide
management and security to files of any size. This is almost
always facilitated by the streaming input/output (I/O) component
of an MFT. Source: L. Frank Kennedy, Gartner, 2008
Numerous factors cause companies to re-examine how they
manage the movement of information from system to system,
partner to partner and person to person. FTP alone is not a
viable option to give you the insight, security, performance and,
ultimately, the risk mitigation necessary to responsibly conduct
business. Fortunately, there is a set of vendors that offers the
technologies, services and disciplines to help you manage all
aspects of the transfer of information.

Managed File Transfer– Requirements
Visibility is a key first step to identifying the processes, systems and people affecting
and being affected by messages, files and transactions.
Monitoring enables companies to proactively and reactively track messages, files and
transactions as they flow through systems and among people.
Security provides the ability to address risk, identity, access and authentication
issues.
Reporting and Auditing enable companies to compile and assemble data related to
all aspects of messages, files and transactions specific to users' needs.
Adaptability provides companies with the opportunity to connect with systems and
infrastructures.
Provisioning enables enterprises to rapidly onboard systems, companies and
individuals, and to continually manage all aspects of change.
Workflow and Automation enable companies to design, test and execute the
processes associated with file transfer.

Security
File Transfer Access Control (openFT-AC):
Protection against unauthorized access
• Profiles defining access rights for partner systems
• Independence of openFT access authorization and login authorization
• User-specific access rights
• Flexible grading of access rights
• Additional benefit: prevention of system attacks
Seamless integration into existing security infrastructures (e.g.
SECOS, RACF)
Encryption of transfer request and transfer data
Authentication of partner instances
Audit compliant logging of all transfer request
Ensuring data integrity by content checks (hash sums)
11

Reporting and Auditing
Guaranteed delivery of data
Automatic resume of data transfer in case of interruption
Queuing of transfer requests until required resources are available
Dynamic change of configuration
Immediate effect
Undisturbed processing of active requests
Increased availability
Virtualization: run several openFT instances concurrently on a single
system, each using its own resources
Failover-cluster: takeover of openFT requests in case of system failure or
resource bottleneck by another instance
Audit compliant logging

Workflow and Automation (1)
Pre-processing:
Direct transfer of dynamically created data without intermediate files
Monitored as part of file transfer request
Example: direct transfer of invoice out of logistic order process
Post-processing:
Direct use of transferred data in programs or scripts
Monitored as part of file transfer request
Example: direct use of transferred order data in delivery tool.
Follow-up processing:
Start of programs or scripts after completion of transfer request
Not part of file transfer request
Example: printing out transferred files, automatic updating of databases
15

Workflow and Automation (2)
Scripting:
Programming of pre-, post- and follow-up processing
Usage of API and the resulting exit codes
Remote command execution:
Execution of operating system commands on remote systems
Completely under control of built-in security
Benefits:
• Simple integration of commands executed in remote systems in local command
procedures
• Check of readiness of remote system for transfer request
