GoAnywhere MFT includes over 60 built-in tasks for performing a wide variety of business processes. This includes tasks to retrieve and distribute files, transform data, encrypt/decrypt files, compress/decompress files and interact with databases. Other tasks can be used to call native commands, execute programs, send emails, search and replace file contents and more.

You can also build your own custom tasks to use within Projects. This is especially helpful if you need to perform special processing or connect to ERP systems and other applications using proprietary interfaces.

Multiple tasks can be "chained" together within a Project to perform a series of steps. For instance, a Project could be defined with a task to retrieve an XML file from a trading partner, then another task to parse the XML and finally a task to import the data into a database table.

Listed below is a summary of the built-in tasks:

COMPRESSION

Zip

Compresses, packages and optionally encrypts files using the ZIP standard.

DATABASE

SQL

Runs any SQL statement supported by the database server (i.e. SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, CREATE, DELETE, CALL, etc). This task is especially useful for extracting data from database tables, which could then be converted to various file formats and transmitted.  It is also useful for importing data from files that may have been retrieved from trading partners.

DATA TRANSLATION

Read CSV

Reads a CSV file and produces an output that can be used in another task (for instance, to import into a database).

EMAIL & SMS

Retrieve Email

Retrieves E-Mail messages from POP3 and IMAP servers (with or without S/MIME encryption).

FILE SYSTEM

Checksum

Create a hash value for a file using MD5, SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, or SHA-512 algorithms.

FILE TRANSFER

AS2

Send and receive messages using Applicability Statement 2.

INTEGRATION

Execute IBM i Commands and Programs

Executes (calls) a command or program on a IBM i (iSeries) machine.

JOB CONTROL

Call Module

Routes control to another Module within the Project.

LOOPS

Do- While Loop

A Do-While loop is similar to a While Loop, however a Do-While loop checks the condition at the end of the loop. Therefore the tasks in a Do-While loop will execute at least once.

MISCELLANEOUS

Base64 Decode

Decodes a Base64 encoded input file and produces an output file with the decoded binary content.

MQ

Open MQ Session

Opens a Message Queue Session with a MQ (JMS) Server.

PGP

PGP Decrypt

Decrypts files using the Open PGP (GPG) standard.

PROJECT

Comment

Comments can be added to Projects to help administrators understand the purpose of a task or Project logic.

REPORTS

Over 20 Customizable Reports*

Produces a variety of reports including audit log activity, analytics and management information in PDF format.

WEB SERVICES

Creates a JSON Web Token.
