After you have provided the definition of the Template, the next step while creating a Template is to define the Source application. A Source application is an application from where data is received. After defining the Source application, you must choose a Trigger.

A Trigger is an event that initiates the data exchange. For example, in an FTP Source application, if you choose On File Created as a trigger, then data exchange will initiate when the new file is created to the source FTP.

To select and configure the Source application of the Template:

  1. Select the Source application and click Next.  

    The applications will populate in the drop-down list based on the options selected in the /wiki/spaces/AC2/pages/659860 while defining the Template. 




  2. Select the data format and click Next.

    No (Pass Thru): Select this option to transfer the file from one application to another.

    Yes (Convert): Select this option to transfer the file data from one application to another.
