Modularizing Profiles: include directive
JADE's powerful feature of importing profiles can be used to create generic parameter groups or called fragment.
JADE's term fragment is small set of parameters which its self can't be used for file transfer , but can be combined with other fragments to create complete profile.
i.e. user can create an fragment called archive_server which just contents parameter concerning archive server i.e. host name, user name etc.
General
Transfer profile is collection of parameters i.e. source_host, target_host, file_spec etc. There are 80+ parameters in JADE which can combined with each other depending upon protocol etc.
Example 1: Profile without fragments : copy files from local host to target host using SFTP
[copy_to_sftp_server]
;; This is comment
operation = copy
;;
source_host = localhost
source_protocol = local
source_dir = ${local_dir}
;;
target_host = 8of9.sos
target_protocol = ftp
target_port = 21
target_user = kb
target_password = ****
ssh_auth_method = password
target_dir = ${remote_dir}
;;
file_spec = ^\.txt$
To execute this profile on the command line type:
jade.sh -settings=name-of-your-configuration-file -profile=copy_from_sftp_server
Example 2: Profile with fragments : copy files from source host to localhost host using SFTP
;; localhost settings
[localhost_settings]
host = localhost
protocol = local
local_dir = ${local_dir}
;; 8of9.sos settings
[8of9.sos_settings]
host = 8of9.sos
protocol = ftp
port = 21
user = kb
password = ****
ssh_auth_method = password
local_dir = $\{remote_dir\}
;; profile with fragments
[copy_from_sftp_server]
;;
operation = copy
;;
;; include fragments
source_include = 8of9.sos_settings
target_include = localhost_settings
;;
file_spec = ^\.txt$
To execute this profile on the command line type:
jade.sh -settings=name-of-your-configuration-file -profile=copy_from_sftp_server
