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

Use Case: Partner01 (Sender) send files to SFG via CD protocol, we deliver those files to Partner02 (Receiver) using CD protocol from SFG via AMF (Agile Messaging Framework).

Sequence Diagram:

Steps:

A. Onboard Partner01 and Partner02 in SFG using AMF.

B. Onboard Partner01 and Partner02 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 Partner01 uploads the file to SFG via CD protocol. If everything was configured correctly, the file will be delivered to Partner02 via CD protocol.
