Offline Outbound Processing

Edit online

Mode “QUEUE” is used to queue schedule a File, EERP or NERP in the Odette FTP Message Queue for sending or getting polled from a remote partner.

About this task

Optionally, in OFTP 2.0 and higher, a file can be compressed, encrypted and signed by the Odette FTP Queue Handler before it is put into the Odette FTP Message Queue. The optional sequence of steps is as follows:

Procedure

  1. Insert record length indicators (V-Format files only). To preserve record structure, V format file must have record headers inserted into them prior to signing, compression or encryption (2bytes, network byte order).
  2. Sign files
  3. Compress files
  4. Encrypt files
    After having queued one or more files in the Odette FTP Message Queue the IBM® Sterling B2B Integrator Scheduler is used to initiate OFTP sessions with the Odette FTP Adapter.
