Deploy it, and see a file move

MFT 2 · 3:33

Once its two secrets are set, the transfer is deployed and run on request, and the first file moves into the archive bucket. The schedule field, a cron expression, repeats the run.

What it covers

Setting the FTP password and the bucket key as hidden secrets
Deploying the transfer to devtest the same way as any integration
Running it at once through the direct:mft-run endpoint or the Run now button
The copied file in weikio logs and in the admin UI's row per file
How placement picks the agent that runs the transfer
The schedule field, a cron expression set to every fifteen minutes

Transcript

0:02The earlier video published the transfer with two secret values unset.
0:06This video sets both values, deploys the transfer, then runs it once.
0:15The supplier's files stay on its FTP server.
0:18The folder holds the transfer and two remote definitions.
0:22With both secrets unset, nothing has moved.
0:29weikio secret set finance/supplier-ftp-password for devtest writes the password the supplier's remote reads.
0:41The same command writes the archive key.
0:43The value is typed hidden.
0:48weikio deploy finance/supplier-invoices for devtest takes the latest published version,
0:560.1.0.
0:58The command ends when agent dev reports the deployment running on a JVM.
1:06weikio invoke finance/supplier-invoices runs the transfer now instead of waiting for the schedule.
1:14The message goes to direct:mft-run, the run-now entry every transfer carries.
1:24weikio logs finance/supplier-invoices for devtest prints rclone's lines as rclone wrote them.
1:32The line of a moved file names the file and carries its size.
1:36The file lands in the archive bucket.
1:39The admin UI records a row for each file the transfer moves.
1:43Its action reads Copied, Weik.io's word for a file that landed as a new copy.
1:49The run ends with rclone's summary line.
1:55Both values were typed at a prompt that showed nothing.
1:58Your Weik.io installation seals each value as it stores it.
2:02Commands that list secrets show names, not values.
2:06A value written for devtest belongs to devtest only.
2:10What runs is the version the earlier video published,
2:13on a JVM on agent dev, like every integration.
2:18The invoke answered immediately because a run asked for now queues until the running run finishes.
2:24The transfer's page has a Run now button that sends to the same entry as the command.
2:29No one picks the agent,
2:31because placement matches what the deployment needs against what the agents are given.
2:36In devtest, agent dev took it.
2:39Both ends stay variables holding their remote definitions.
2:43What was missing were the two secret values.
2:49Every run so far happened because somebody asked.
2:52The transfer document also carries a schedule, a cron, a pattern of times.
2:58The scaffold wrote a run every fifteen minutes, and nobody changed it.
3:03Now every run comes on its own, minutes apart.
3:10The transfer is deployed and runs on a JVM on agent dev.
3:14The first file crossed from the supplier's server into the archive,
3:18and the logs and the row on the page both tell it.
3:21From here the schedule keeps the files moving on its own.
