FAQs

  • No. To enable hybrid file transfers using Kubernetes, you must own a stand-alone Stonebranch Universal Agent package and the Stonebranch Universal Controller. Alternatively, you must own the Stonebranch Universal Automation Center platform, which includes Universal Agents and the Universal Controller.

  • File transfers may be triggered and controlled using the Stonebranch Universal Controller. The Universal Controller is a web-based workflow automation solution that supports triggering file transfers in various ways, including:

    • Based on a file arrival
    • Time-based (with support for internal and external calendar like an SAP calendar)
    • Based on email arrival
    • Based on a web service
    • Event in a message queue (e.g. MQ, JMS)
    • Based on the status of another task/workflow e.g. start a new file transfer, if the transfer from last night was successful

  • Any file transfer can be triggered by calling the REST API of the Universal Controller from an application running on Openshift. Essentially, you can start a file transfer workflow from any application, independent of whether it runs on a (virtual) server, mainframe, or in a POD. This single API will allow you to integrate with your microservices architecture.
