Which one is better to use - FTPS or https over soap?

Hi Experts,

Please let me know which one is better to use in reliability, error tracking,  https over soap or FTPS?

Thanks,

Indira

With respect to security perspective both are doing the same work. But in terms of clarity, generic nature and less maintanence, I would certainly vote soap over https design more than ftps.

Hi Indira,

If you have Security SSL along with Command Order as per the FTPS then you can use FTPS.

If you have SSL and more Proxy host and user ad PW security then you cn use HTTPS.

If you have both options then try to ue FTPS for more reliability.

Hi Sreenivasalu,

Could you please tell me which one is better in terms of error tracking?

In our current scenario, we are calling  script in receiver file CC, to transfer the file  to SFTP server.

If we use https over soap approach, how to track the error in case of target not available or any other connectivity issues?

Thanks,

Indira

Hi Indira,

Are you using SFTP from Standard PI OR from Seeburger?

1. If it is from from standard PI, then you can track error easily with alerts for all PI messages.

    You can get audit log in CC Receiver to trace the script execution. Even you will alert email as well.

2. If it is from Seeburger then you have to configure the PI system to recieve error from SFTP.

    To track error from this you can use your SFTP Master Configuration Guide provided to you.

For alerts cnfiguration you can use the below links:

Write error handling mechanism in Script and generate log file for every execution, so that it enables you to track info when SFTP system down or connetovity issues.

If you have two otions to use SOAP-HTTP /FTPS but looking for right one then use SOAP-HTTP. But both adapters error handling same.
