BLADE Runner's purpose is to push BLADE data to the local file system or ftp/sftp destinations. BLADE Runner supports multiple instances allowing the pushes to go to different ftp/sftp destinations and at different intervals.
Each BLADE Runner instance has 2 tabs, Run and Setup. The Run tab is used to define all the BLADE urls to be pushed. It also shows a countdown to the next push and a button to push now.
