Configuring the TA Transporter

There are two types of configuration:

  • General Transporter properties – Properties like the Java home directory, logging, file maintenance, security, timeout, and performance settings are specified in the transporter.props file. See transporter.props Configuration.

  • How the Transporter application works – Once the Transporter is connected to the selected source and destination, you can configure the way the application works. You can modify how the Transporter operates on initial startup and the way it works when transporting data objects. The configuration options that are selected are saved for future sessions.

Obfuscating Passwords for SSL

When configuring SSL, you can obfuscate the passwords before storing them to ensure their security.

To obfuscate passwords:

  1. Open a command shell window and change directory to the lib directory in Transporter's installation directory.

  1. Issue this command: 

    java -cp Transporter.jar com.tidalsoft.framework.util.Pwd <your_password>

  1. Copy the entire line from the output of the command, and paste it in the TrustStorePassword property provided in transporter.props.
