Target servers can only be used for Mepco real time absence export and Populus absence export in real time.
It is possible to set a separately defined target server for work time integrations. In this way:
- The same target server can be used in multiple integrations, so you only need to specify the server information once.
- In real-time integrations, it is possible to buffer data transfer. More about this in the section Buffering real-time exports.
Target servers can be managed in Worktime > Administration > Working community settings > Integrations > Integration target servers.
Target server settings
Please see Setting up SFTP data transfer for general instructions regarding the server address, username, authentication (public key or password), and what kind of path structure the server should have.
Buffering real-time exports
Buffering allows the export data to be scheduled rather than being performed when events are saved or approved.
The main benefit of buffering is that downtime on the target server does not result in data not being transferred. Failed transfers are retried as long as they are in the buffer.
The buffer is configured by setting a schedule for the integration target server. In the schedule settings, you must select:
1. Integration "SFTP file export"
2. The desired target server for the integration target server
You can read more about scheduling integrations in this article.
