Scenario 1 - Creating Your Sterling Connect:Direct Process

Edit online

Create a Process for your Sterling Connect:Direct® platform similar to the following example:

Note: It is assumed that you have already set up the Sterling B2B Integrator mailbox to which the destination file is being copied. For more information, see Creating a Sterling B2B Integrator Mailbox.
COPY2MB PROCESS
	SNODE=yourCDSANode
	SNODEID=(yourUserID,yourPassword)
STEP1 COPY
	FROM (
		FILE=yourSourceFile
	)
	TO (
		FILE=/mailbox/yourMailbox/targetdocName
		DISP=RPL
	)

PEND

This Sterling Connect:Direct process copies yourSourceFile from your Sterling Connect:Direct server to the Sterling Connect:Direct Server Adapter, yourCDSANode, which passes the file in the Sterling B2B Integrator mailbox, yourMailbox. The SNODEID, yourUserID, is your Sterling B2B Integrator User ID. There are three parts to the destination FILE name in this Copy step:

  • /mailbox/ is a reserved word and signals to Sterling B2B Integrator that you are copying to a Mailbox.
  • yourMailbox includes the name of your Sterling B2B Integrator Mailbox.
  • targetdocName is the document that is passed to your mailbox by the Connect:Direct Server Adapter. This document is stored in the mailbox. This document can be retrieved by an FTP client, business process or another Sterling Connect:Direct process.
