Tumbleweed intro
Tumbleweed (Axway Secure Transport) is a managed file transfer system that uses a dynamic SFTP server to transfer files. It allows users to register and schedule file movements and program executions based on time or file conditions. Tumbleweed uses Tomcat as a front-end Java server, MySQL for database storage, and Cygwin to run external commands from a Unix-like environment on Windows. It provides encryption, active directory integration, and reporting on file transfers.

- 3. What is Axway’sTumbleweed? • A Managed File Transfer that has a dynamic SFTP Server for users to register themselves, as well as Events and Actions to schedule the movement of files or conditions to execute programs. • Tumbleweed is the same as Axway's Secure Transport

- 5. What is Tumbleweed… • Tumbleweed is a Web Server that can also be re-directed to accept SFTP for uploads and downloads of files. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumbleweed_Communicati ons • The server also has rules, or triggered workflows, that can be triggered for conditions based on values of time, conditions if the file’s exist, and other events. • Based on these events, the rules can execute actions, such as downloading a file, or moving a file. • These events can be extended in its Java or Linux/CygWin environment.
- 6. Feature & Benefits… • Industry Governance – Highly used by JPMorgan and Bank of America. • Host files in secure mailboxes or folders. These files can use repository encryption. • Ease of use with administration functionality. • Utilization of existing identity store, such as Active Directory. • Supports end-to-end reporting and monitoring.
- 7. More Feature &Benefits… • Guaranteed Delivery of files. • Transferring Scheduling. • Database Support. • Web admin and configuration.

- 11. Pieces… • Tumbleweeduses Tomcat as a front-end JSP/Servlet Java Web Server. • For database storage, it uses MySQL, or can Oracle. • For external commands, it will use a Linux/CygWin environment. • These are very standard Java Enterprise components that Tumbleweed was based on.

- 13. CYGWIN CygWin isa Unix-like environment and command-line interface for Microsoft Windows. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cygwin Tumbleweed uses it to run commands from Tomcat, such as a “runas” and to run pearl scripts in its Unix-like environment. Tumbelweed also uses it’s command environment to run Linux commands like “>mysql” for MySQL interaction. Cygwin runs Windows applications. These applications can be developed in the C/C++ Windows compilers provided by CygWin. Tumbleweed could easily run in Linux.
- 14. Commands Tumbleweed usesCygWin external commands to run executables and command lines in the CygWin Unix environment. For executables, it will typically use the “runas” command in its actions and events, which can be saved in XML form for review. Java will just execute the commands from Tomcat:
- 15. Events Tumbleweed usesEvents, based on rules, to run these actions. Events could be if a file is found, a timer is reached, or other conditions are met.
- 16. CYGWIN Cygwin runsWindows applications, these applications can be developed in the C/C++ Windows compilers provided by CygWin. For .NET Applications in CygWin, Mono is used, which is the same compiler for running .NET in Linux. See http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/eu/csharpide /thread/21c4fddf-fc2e-434b-802c-04d7b2b89700
- 17. Programming in CygWin For Programming in CygWin, there is Java, C, and C++. The GCC and GCC++ compilers are normally included in the Cygwin installation, as well as Java. For details in programming CygWin, see http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ programming.html .

- 19. What is MySQL MySQL is the world’s most used Open Source database http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MySQL There are many command line and GUI tools including the MySQL workbench. See same link. A set of MySQL books for queries, setups, functions and programming can be found at http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/MySQL. For Java, the most common ways of connecting to MySQL is by using the Java Database Connector (JDBC) or the Hibernate framework.
- 20. Looking through theschema Now that the database is MySQL, you can use the MySQL Workbench on the database, http://wb.mysql.com/:
- 21. If we installMySQL We are going to install MySQL. A free Open Source database that can run as a service and is more relational for production use is the MySQL database. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MySQL . Install MySQL from http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/ Here is an example to create the myTestAppDB: mysql> create database myTestAppDB character set utf8; Here is an example to create user “myUser” password “XXXXXXXX” mysql> CREATE USER ‘myUser’@’localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘XXXXXXXX’; mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO ‘jirauser’@’localhost’ WITH GRANT OPTION;

- 23. Tomcat • Tomcatcan be downloaded http://tomcat.apache.org/ , and is a Servlet Container that can run Java Objects. • This is an Open Source Java Web Server from Apache, others include Apache Geronimo, JBoss, Oracle WebLogic and many more. • Tomcat has a startup.bat or startup shell to start the server. • After it starts, it can be accessed using http://127.0.0.1:8080/ • Many of the deployments will be deployed in the /WebApps/ directory as a WAR (Web Archive) file, similar to a JAR (Java Archive) file. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAR_(Sun_file_format)
- 24. Tomcat Tomcat isa Servlet and Java Server Pages Container developed by Apache, reference http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomcat_(software) and http://tomcat.apache.org/ . It provides a Java HTTP Server to run Java code. Catalina is Tomcat’s servlet container. A Servlet container is a Java class that responds to HTTP requests. A HTTP request is an HTTP page that will call Java code and execute an action running on the Tomcat Server. The Tomcat server may be started with a startup script and use different ports so that many servers may be provide different services.

- 26. Tomcat Directory bin Directory containing the scripts and Tomcat JAR files. conf The properties and XML files that configure the server, including ports, Admin ports, database connections, etc. lib The supporting JAR files needed to run Tomcat. logs Log files that are written during runtime and startup. webapps Any WAR files that contain the web applications. WAR files are similar to JAR files except they also contain the Web pages, like JSPs and Servlets. This is where the Flex applications will be stored.
- 27. Tomcat Management Interface • Tomcat has a management interface for loading new applications,

- 29. Tumbleweed SFTP Interface Tumbleweed has a built-in SFTP client that can be used to download files at certain times. Here’s an example of its use:
- 30. A Java SFTPClient We can test the server by ensuring a Java SFTP client works, it can be tested from the website http://j-ftp. sourceforge.net/ and start J-FTP fro the Java Web Start, and login to the local server:

Editor's Notes
- #2 This template can be used as a starter file for presenting training materials in a group setting. Sections Right-click on a slide to add sections. Sections can help to organize your slides or facilitate collaboration between multiple authors. Notes Use the Notes section for delivery notes or to provide additional details for the audience. View these notes in Presentation View during your presentation. Keep in mind the font size (important for accessibility, visibility, videotaping, and online production) Coordinated colors Pay particular attention to the graphs, charts, and text boxes. Consider that attendees will print in black and white or grayscale. Run a test print to make sure your colors work when printed in pure black and white and grayscale. Graphics, tables, and graphs Keep it simple: If possible, use consistent, non-distracting styles and colors. Label all graphs and tables.
