EFS SFTP Transition Plan - Dev Environment

1. Preparation

Review Documentation: Familiarize yourself with the EFS SFTP transition requirements and any documentation Katherine may have sent regarding the setup and fuel file download tool.

Gather Credentials: Ensure you have the new SFTP credentials, including:

2. Update the LoadMaster Configuration

Access Funded Vendor Controls: Go to the LoadMaster server in the dev environment and navigate to the Communications tab under Funded Vendor Controls.

Apply New SFTP Credentials:

3. Testing Connectivity Using WinSCP

Run Initial Connection Test: Open WinSCP or any SFTP client that allows external communication testing.

Verify Internal & External Connection: Test that the connection works both from inside the server and externally, confirming no issues with IP blocks or access restrictions.

4. Update Control Files and Test Fuel Transaction Download

Modify Control Files: Update funded vendor control files to reference the new SFTP URL.

Download Fuel Transaction Files: Initiate a download of the fuel transaction files using the configured fuel file download tool. Ensure the download completes successfully and that files are accessible in the expected location.

5. Validate Key Functionalities in Dev

Check Carrier ID: Ensure that the carrier ID 55731285 is whitelisted in both dev and production environments.

Check Batch C Codes in Checks Tab: Confirm that the relevant batch C codes are set up correctly. Adjust if necessary to avoid disruptions during production testing.

6. Document Test Results

Record Successful Tests: Log each successful connection, download, and configuration test to ensure traceability.

Note Any Issues: Document any issues encountered with the connection, whitelisting, or file access for further troubleshooting.

7. Next Steps

Coordinate Change Request for Production: Once all tests are successfully completed in the dev environment, initiate a Change Request for implementing the changes in production.

Confirm December 2 Deadline: Ensure that all testing and configuration adjustments are completed before the target deadline for the decommissioning of the FTP servers.
