Questions

Take a moment to answer the following questions to serve as a recap of what you just learned in this chapter:

  1. How do you read the files from the SFTP server?
  2. What is the use of watermarking in File Connector?
  3. What connector do you use to call SOAP-based web services?

Answers

  1. We can use SFTP Connector and perform read operations to fetch files from the SFTP server based on the configuration of SFTP Connector.
  2. It helps to filter the file after the execution of the last poll based on the file created or the last-modified date timestamp.
  3. We can use Web Service Consumer Connector to call SOAP-based web services.
  4. We can use VM Connector or JMS Connector to process a message asynchronously.
