Create the Connection contract

In input, the Connection Contract defines how the data producer connects to Data Mover to send the files.

The following entities must already exist in Data Mover:

• Actor: the data producer that will connect to Data Mover to send the files. See the Create your first actor page for details.

• Actor → User: the user that has permissions to connect to Data Mover to send the files.

• Actor → VFS and virtual path: the Data Mover VFS and path where the data producer will send the files.

Create the Contract Clause

To create the contract clause follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the Actors section and select the Actor.

2. Access the Connection Contracts tab and add a new Contract Clause.

3. Create a name and description for easy reference.

4. Assign the clause to a specific server and click Confirm. Note that each server available for the actor must have only one Connection Contract.

1. In the Connection window, click the Add User or Group button.

2. In the New User/Group Association window, select direct assignment, select the VFS and the VFS path - which must already exist - where the data producer will send the files.

4. Click Confirm and then Save to close the page.
