Hi,

We do not recommend implementation of ActiveTranfser 7.2 unless your organization already has license to it. We will be offering a new version of ActiveTransfer in Q3/Q4 that will be fully supported.

Wanted to know if ActiveTranfer is one of the transfer mechanism which is exposed via B2B TN?
Are these competing products or complimenting products?

Has anyone done any research on this?

5

No. TN does not depend upon ActiveTransfer for delivery.

TN and ActiveTransfer are complementary products.

Hi Team,

we need to install webMethods Active transfer server and its Gateway in order to configure MFT in MWS.

we went through the PDF “Manage File Transfer with Active Transfer” . Understood that inorder to configure “Active File Transfer” in MWS, it is required to install both server and gateway in IS. But the PDF did not have much information on installation of ATS(Active Transfer Server) in Integration Server 8.2. So now we are in need of how to install the ATS in IS 8.2.

we have tried to access the empower document for installing it but we are not able to get the document as we dont have access. It would be much helpful if any pointers or any one provide the document for installing the same.

Thanks in Advance. It would be highly appreciated if any one can help us:):slight_smile:

Regards,
Raj

I was unable to find the Active transfer component in webMethods 9.0—> From the installer tree you mean?

Is it that u need to have seperate license for this? – Yes most likely for ATS.
