Create an Input Contract

Input Contracts define how Data Mover connects with an actor to retrieve files.

The creation of the Input Contract consists of these steps:

1. Define the contract info. This step defines the details of the contract, its name, type, and how it must be processed.

2. Associate the contract with the actor. This step defines the details of the actor that Data Mover needs to access to collect or send the files.

3. Define the contract actions. This step defines the trigger that will fire the contract and the workflow associated with the contract.

4. Set the contract variables. This step defines the interaction between the contract and the workflow, setting the variables that will be initialized.
