This section describes the configuration of the file operations adapter and the supported operations.

The file operations adapter is an adapter that is used for performing file operations such as layout conversion, character code conversion, replication, deletion, compression, and un-compression for files generated by using programs such as the FTP program. In the file operations adapter, the unit of file operations is called as operation.

When you use FTP integration, you must define a file operations adapter for each operation by using the FTP reception and FTP adapter.

The following figure shows the configuration of a file operations adapter:
