Creating multiple stampandsortFTP maps

Edit online

About this task

You will need an FTP session for each FTP Get post office that you define. You will probably need more than one FTP session to support your e-commerce needs. For each additional FTP location you want to support, create a copy of the stampandsortFTP map and repeat the steps in the previous procedure.

You do not need to copy the stampandsortFTP map into the msg_mgr.msd system definition file. It is recommended that you create a separate system definition file (.msd) for all communication maps. Having a separate file allows you to upgrade your core Message Manager at any time without affecting your specific implementation.

To create a copy of stampandsortFTP in the Message Manager, perform the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Open the msg_mgr.msd system in the Integration Flow Designer.
  2. Select the stampandsortFTP map component in the StampAndSort subsystem.
  3. From the Edit menu, choose Copy.
  4. From the Edit menu, choose Paste.

    The Copy command creates a default map component named stampandsortFTP(2). The stampandsortFTP(2) copy is pasted on top of the source stampandsortFTP map. Move the stampandsortFTP(2) map to view both the source and the duplicate map.

  5. Rename the new stampandsortFTP(2) map component to uniquely identify this FTP session:
    • Right-click stampandsortFTP(2) and select Edit Map Component.
    • In the Component Name field, enter a new name for the map component.
    • Click OK.

Results

As a reminder, the stampandsortFTP, stampandsortVAN and stampandsortEmail maps are identical with the exception of the communication protocol they use. To configure the stampandsortVAN or stampandsortEmail maps, follow the same steps as outlined, replacing the FTP-specific information with VAN or e-mail equivalents.
