Question & Answer


Question

In IBM Sterling B2B Integrator (SBI), how does the GXS ICS FTP Adapter connect to GXS mailbox to perform submit or collect operation?

Answer

The GXS ICS FTP Adapter internally uses the default FTP Client Adapter to connect to the GXS mailbox to perform the operation specified in the GXS ICS FTP Adapter configuration by invoking the out of box business process (BP) "GxsIcsFtp_Processing_Service".



The out of box BP has all the logic to perform all the actions set in the GXS ICS FTP Adapter configuration.

Example:

When running the below BP it invokes the default system BP GxsIcsFtp_Processing_Service  and performs the operation as per the GXS ICS FTP Adapter configuration.

<process name = "GXS_FTPS_PUT">
<sequence>
<operation name="GXS ICS FTP Adapter">
<participant name="TEST_FTP_GXS"/>
<output message="GXS_ICS_FTP_ADAPTERInputMessage">
<assign to="." from="*"></assign>
</output>
<input message="inmsg">
<assign to="." from="*"></assign>
</input>
</operation>
</sequence>
</process>
