CD --> SFG --> AMF --> SFG --> SFTP
Use Case: PartnerA (Sender) send files to SFG via CD protocol, we change the file name and deliver those files to the PartnerB (Receiver) using SFTP protocol from SFG via AMF (Agile Messaging Framework).
Sequence Diagram:
Steps:
A. Onboard PartnerA and PartnerB in SFG using AMF.
B. Onboard PartnerA connect direct node 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 Route Action with file name format.
F. Create Delivery Action or use the predefined one (Deliver as is).
G. Create Workflow Definition and add Actions (Created in step F and step G) as step1 and step2.
H. Create Workflow Rule with Sender, Receiver, Message Type and Workflow Definition Name (Created in step H).
I. Create MFT Initiated Send Communication Profile for outbound delivery in PartnerB with SFTP protocol.
J. Create Communication Rule with Sender, Receiver, Message Type and Comm Profile Name.
K. 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 Partner B via SFTP protocol.
