File Post Offices

Use a File Post Office when data is transferred to or from local directory structures. Configuring a file route post office requires only that you identify a local directory where e-commerce data is Get or Put without specifying how the file is physically transferred.

• Get Post Offices - The Message Manager is configured to execute automatically based on new files created or existing files changed in the directory defined for the File Post Office. This creation or change is known as a file event. Unless Message Manager has been customized, there is only one Get File Directory: the one specified in mmgr_mail value. For example, in Windows this is: install_dir\tmgr_vn.n\mmgr\mail. Any other get file directory is ignored unless the Launcher and stampandsortfile systems have been customized. See the Trading Manager documentation for further information about stampandsortfile map systems.
  Note: Get post office fields may be disabled depending upon the setting in the Message Manager configuration.
• Put Post Offices - The data resulting from Message Manager processing is written to files in the directory defined for the File Post Office.
