MassTransit has features that allow you to do multiple transfers at the same time, perform notification and action procedures, keep a record of all transfers, and process files to configured services.
You can set MassTransit to perform Actions when events occur during the transfer and processing of files. For example, you can notify yourself by email, and send confirmation of processing to the sender, or perform other tasks using scripts. You can use scripts from the MassTransit web site or create your own.
MassTransit keeps a log of all actions it performs. You can check the Log window to see if files were transferred or sent. The log lists errors that occurred so you can correct a problem. For example, if a remote user does not have enough disk space, the log gives the reason why a file is not transferred. You can reconnect and transfer the file again when more space is made available to receive the file. Also, you can create summary reports from the log.
You can control the workflow process in other ways. For example, on the receiving Server side, service providers can monitor incoming files as they are processed as the user requested. For more control, the receiving Server can deny access to selected services including printers and applications for individual users and manually direct those customer files to a printer or application. As files accumulate for various tasks, the receiving Server can control the processing order by putting selected jobs on hold.
MassTransit administrators can monitor MassTransit servers using Perfmon or other WMI enabled monitoring tools. Key MassTransit data is exposed through performance counters available via these tools.
Info: For details on the available performance counters in Perfmon, please see the Tracking page.
MassTransit Actions
MassTransit has a number of features which can be useful to you in your work. You can set MassTransit actions to occur before, during, and after the transfer process. Actions include such things as notifying you of a problem or running scripts. You can set up email notifications of file arrivals, errors and other key events. You can automate processes by running scripts when events occur.
For detailed information about Actions, see the Actions page.
MassTransit Services
You can configure different services in MassTransit for processing files to printers, drop folders, and scripts. For detailed information about MassTransit services, see the Services page.
Forwarding
MassTransit allows you to forward files to other contacts in a few ways: automatically to a defined contact, forwarding via another MassTransit server, and forwarding using the To Be Forwarded folder. For detailed information about forwarding files in MassTransit, please see the Forwarding page.
