Mailbox Document Storage
The mailbox document storage feature is an access controlled, hierarchical, content management, delivery, and distribution facility.
Communications protocols such as SSH/SFTP traditionally interface to the native file system. In the system, these protocols interface with the mailbox document storage feature. The benefits to this are:
- Scalability
- Same syntax and semantics on every operating system
- Users do not have operating system privileges, only Mailbox privileges, which simplifies security
- Eliminates the need for polling, improving performance
- Guarantees never routing incomplete or corrupt files or documents
Wildcards are not supported for mailboxes, but are supported for message names.
For SFTP, Sterling B2B Integrator can use File system or Database for mailbox document storage.
