Queuing OFTP Messages
Sending OFTP messages in the OFTP Message Queue in IBM® Sterling B2B Integrator can be performed asynchronously from a time schedule based sending process.
This is the recommended approach though synchronous queuing and sending is possible (see Odette FTP Adapter, Manual Mode for additional information).
The Odette FTP Queue Handler is used for two different purposes:
- Mode "QUEUE": Queue/schedule a message in the Odette FTP Message Queue for sending or getting polled from a remote partner (this is the default mode)
- Mode "DECIPHER": Perform Offline File Level Decryption, Decompression and Signature verification/de-enveloping for inbound files as specified in OFTP Version 2.0
