Online Transfer Agent (OTA)

The Online Transfer Agent allows the server to transfer sequences after they have been processed. When the Online Transfer Agent is installed on your computer, you can transfer a Sequence or a Batch to the desired location directly after data acquisition. To do so, select Transfer on the Batch menu (either on a control panel or in the Browser). On the Transfer tab page, you can select the option to delete the sequence or batch at the original position after the transfer.

 Tips:

During batch transfer, sequences in the destination directory may be overwritten if they have the same name as the sequences to be transferred. However, it is not possible to overwrite locked data, signed data, or sequences containing raw data. (Example: If you appended samples to a sequence that was already transferred, you have to delete the existing sequence in the destination directory manually before you can transfer the extended sequence.)

Sequences not containing raw data are overwritten; neither a warning appears before this operation nor are the Privileges (e.g., DeleteSEQ) checked.

For installation details, refer to How to …: Starting and Monitoring the Server, Setting Up the Server for Network Access  Setting Up the Online Transfer Agent for Network Access in the Administrator Help section.

 Tip: 

In order to use the Online Transfer Agent, the Multiple Network Control license must be available on your PC (see Chromatography Components: Hardware and Software  Chromeleon Licenses).

 Note:  

If a transfer operation fails, the system attempts the transfer nine times in the following intervals: 10 min, 30 min, 1:10 h, 2:30 h, 5:10 h, and then four times every 6:00 hours.
