SMB connector for Jitterbit Integration Studio

Summary

The SMB connector establishes access to folders and files in a remote server using the SMB (Server Message Block) protocol.

The SMB connector provides an interface for creating an SMB connection, the foundation used for generating instances of SMB activities. These activities, once configured, interact with SMB through the connection.

The SMB connector is accessed from the design component palette's Project endpoints and connectors tab (see Design component palette).

Note

The SMB connector requires and can be run only on a Jitterbit private agent.

Connector overview

This connector is used to first configure an SMB connection. Activity types associated with that connection are then used to create instances of activities that are intended to be used as sources (to provide data in an operation) or targets (to consume data in an operation).

Together, a specific SMB connection and its activities are referred to as an SMB endpoint:

SMB activity types

  • Delete File: Deletes files from an SMB server and is intended to be used as a target in an operation.

  • Search: Returns all files within a folder in an SMB server and is intended to be used as a source in an operation.

  • Update File: Updates files in an SMB server and is intended to be used as a target in an operation.

  • Delete Folder: Deletes folders from an SMB server and is intended to be used as a target in an operation.

  • Create Folder: Creates folders in an SMB server and is intended to be used as a target in an operation.

  • Update Folder: Updates folders in an SMB server and is intended to be used as a target in an operation.

  • Create File: Creates files in an SMB server and is intended to be used as a target in an operation.

Note

This connector is a Connector SDK-based connector, which may be referred to by Jitterbit when communicating changes made to connectors built with the Connector SDK.

Prerequisites and supported API versions

The SMB connector requires the use of private agent version 10.1 or later. These agent versions automatically download the latest version of the connector when required.

The SMB connector supports versions 2.1 (default), 3.0, 3.0.2, and 3.1.1 of the SMB protocol. Choose a version to use in the connection configuration page.

Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with the SMB connector, these troubleshooting steps are recommended:

  1. Click the Test button in the connection configuration to ensure the connection is successful and to ensure the latest version of the connector is downloaded to the agent (unless using the Disable Auto Connector Update organization policy).

  2. Check the operation logs for any information written during execution of the operation.

  3. Enable operation debug logging for private agents to generate additional log files and data.

  4. Check the agent logs for more information.
