Integrate BlackRock Aladdin Data eXchange with Couchdrop

How it works

Aladdin Data eXchange supports automated data transfer to and from Aladdin. Couchdrop can provide a secure cloud SFTP endpoint for these transfers, connecting Aladdin file workflows to other systems like SharePoint, Google Drive, S3, Azure Blob, Workato recipes, and more. Couchdrop never takes custody of the files at any point. 

Automations can handle file processing and transformation flows along with automating the transfer itself. Workflows can help identify exceptions, preserve source files, and copy outputs to downstream teams, all while removing manual handling and processes. 

Capabilities

  • Receive Aladdin exports via SFTP workflows
  • Send prepared files into Aladdin via compatible transfer paths
  • Automate scheduled transfer workflows 
  • Route files to cloud storage or on-prem file storage 

 

Getting started

Couchdrop can connect with BlackRock Aladdin Data eXchange once the relevant file delivery or collection methods have been enabled.

  1. Create a dedicated Couchdrop SFTP user for the relevant Aladdin transfer flow and map each user to a folder. 
  2. Configure Aladdin Data eXchange and Couchdrop automations for scheduled receipt, delivery, archive, and exception handling.
  3. Build a Couchdrop workflow to automate file transfers into or out of Aladdin Data eXchange.
