SFTP adapter request and response for a lcd command
To configure an adapter request to communicate with a host that is not defined in the adapter configuration, you can designate a dynamic target by assigning values for the required configuration elements. These elements work as a set. You cannot retrieve partial information from the configuration node.
You can omit the <targets> block from the adapter request. In the absence of a <targets> block, the default target from the adapter configuration is used.
When you use a context item as an input for an adapter request, you must enclose the adapter request in the <request-data> elements. However, when you create a static request, <request-data> is not required and the adapter request starts with the <adapterName-adapter-request> element.
The following table describes the elements of an SFTP adapter request with an lcd command.
