Triggers
Triggers can be defined in GoAnywhere Services™ to monitor for certain events such as when a file is uploaded or downloaded by a trading partner. Based on the user-defined trigger settings, GoAnywhere Services™ can run a variety of processes.
Trigger examples:
- When a file is uploaded by a trading partner, send an email to an employee with the trading partner's user name and file name.
- After a file is downloaded, automatically move it into an archive folder.
- If a file upload is unsuccessful, automatically remove the partial file from the folder.
- If the user provides an invalid login, send an email notification to a system administrator.
- When a file is uploaded, call a Project in GoAnywhere Director™ to decrypt the file and import its contents into a database table.
From the Trigger Manager screen you can create and manage Triggers, as well as view the logs of when Triggers have executed.
Screen example:

GoAnywhere Services can be installed onto Windows, Linux, IBM System i, IBM System p (AIX), IBM System z (Mainframe), UNIX, HP-UX, Mac OS and Solaris platforms. System i is also referred to as iSeries, as400, as/400 and i5.
