CD --> SFG --> AMF --> SFG --> CD

Use Case: PartnerA (Sender) send files to SFG via CD protocol, we deliver those files to PartnerB (Receiver) using CD protocol from SFG via AMF (Agile Messaging Framework).

Sequence Diagram:

Steps:

A. Onboard PartnerA and PartnerB in SFG using AMF.

B. Onboard PartnerA and PartnerB connect direct nodes in SFG using AMF (CD Customer Initiated communication profile (Inbound)).

C. Create Message Type or use the existing one in AMF.

D. Create Message Mapping with Sender, Receiver and Message Type with a file pattern.

E. Create Delivery Action or use the predefined one (Deliver as is).

F. Create Workflow Definition and add Action (Created in step E) as step1.

G. Create Workflow Rule with Sender, Receiver, MessageType and Workflow definition name (Created in step F).

H. Create MFT Initiated CD Communication Profile for outbound delivery.

I. Create Communication Rules with Sender, Receiver, MessageType and Comm profile Name.

J. Verify the Message Activity in AMF once the partnerA uploads the file to SFG via CD protocol. If everything was configured correctly, the file will be delivered to partnerB via CD protocol.

Process:

A. Onboard partnerA and partnerB in SFG via AMF:

Login to AMF

Go to Onboarding -> Users

Click on + icon at the top right corner

Repeat the above steps to onboard PartnerB.

Note: For convenience we will use the below users instead of PartnerA and PartnerB

PartnerA = Partner01

PartnerB = Partner02

B. Onboard PartnerA and PartnerB connect direct nodes in SFG using AMF (Customer Initiated communication profile (Inbound)).

Double click on the Partner01
