Override Outbound on Listening IP


THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE APPLIES TO:

  • EFT Server version 5.2.12 and later

DISCUSSION

This behavior of how EFT accessed the IP addresses in its system was changed in EFT Server 5.2.12 so that EFT uses the listening IP address of the Site. In previous versions, if an outbound event was scheduled, EFT would use the first IP address in the system's IP address list rather than the listening IP address for the Site. In recognition that this could adversely affect some of our customers, we added a registry setting to revert to the old behavior.

To return to the legacy behavior

In v8.0 and later, add the name:value pair to the advancedproperties.json file as described in the "Advanced Properties" topic in the online help for your version of EFT.

{
"LegacyListenIP": "true"
}

In versions prior to v8.0, add the advanced property to the registry.
