webMethods 10.15

*We have an use case to transfer files from Google GCS to Dell Isilon and vice versa. What is the preferred approach to move file based on a cron expression with appropriate logging/audit?

Option 1 : MFT with ActiveTranfer
Option 2: CloudStreams

The tech forums with id 227333/6 says with version 10.7 and above MFT will support S3. I am assuming with version 10.15 we dont have to use cloudstreams to connect to Google GCS.

Please suggest

Thanks

Hi @tilakkumar.n ,

In the Official MFT Documentation in Version 10.15 can see mention of Amazon S3 only. In Version 11.1.0 MFT Doumentation can see both Amazon S3 and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) being mentioned.

So I am not exactly sure if MFT Version 10.15 will support Google Cloud Storage.

MFT version 10.15 did have support for โ€œHosted-S3โ€ added in a patch.

https://docs.webmethods.io/on-premises/webmethods-activetransfer/en/10.15.0/webhelp/index.html#page/mat-webhelp%2Ffolder_configure_advanced_settings.html

It is my understanding this was added to support non-Amazon S3 compatible object stores. Google claims GCS to be S3 compatible (see ื™ื›ื•ืœืช ืคืขื•ืœื” ื”ื“ื“ื™ืช ืขื ืกืคืงื™ ืฉื™ืจื•ืชื™ ืื—ืกื•ืŸ ืื—ืจื™ื  |  Cloud Storage  |  Google Cloud)

Not sure if it would work or be supported though.

GCP support in MFT is introduced in 11.1.

You can ignore 10.15 documentation, weโ€™ve corrected it since.
