Use Case: Partner A (Sender) send files to SFG via CD protocol, we mailbox those files to the Partner B (Receiver) using HTTP (MFG.) protocol from SFG via AMF (Agile Messaging Framework).
Sequence Diagram:
Steps:
A. Onboard Partner A and Partner B in SFG using AMF.
B. Onboard Partner A connect direct nodes in SFG using AMF (Customer Initiated communication profiles (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 Mailbox Action.
F. Create Workflow definition and add Action (Created in step E) as step1.
G. Create Workflow Rule with Sender, Receiver, Message Type and Workflow Definition Name (Created in step F).
H. Verify the Message Activity in AMF once Partner A uploads the file to SFG via CD protocol, if everything was configured correctly, the file will be Mailboxed to Partner B via HTTP(MFG) protocol.
Process:
A. Onboard Partner A and Partner B in SFG via AMF:
Login to AMF
Go to Onboarding -> Users
Click on + icon at the top right corner
Select Customer and give details of Partner A, select user Type, Authentication Type and click next.
User Type: Which Zone does the partner belongs to send or receive files? (DMZ or Trusted)
Authentication Type: Where do we store the partner’s credentials? (LDAP or local (SFG/AMF) or Both)
Select the provider the Partner belongs to and click next
AMF: AMF provider is used to onboard Partners which use UFA
IBM: This will come from the providers config. We can choose several types based on the provider's config.
Open LDAP: We need to select this if we selected the Authentication Type as LDAP in step2
Verify the partner details and click Onboard User.
Repeate the above steps to onboard Partner B.
Note: For convenience we will use the below users instead of Partner A and Partner B
Partner A = Partner07
Partner B = Partner08
B. Onboard Partner A(Partner07) Connect Direct nodes in SFG using AMF (Customer Initiated Communication Profile (Inbound)).
Double click on the Partner07
Click on + icon in the top right corner
Give details of the Node and click save
Operating System: Operating system of the partner07
SPOE: Option to enable/disable Secure point of entry
Node Name: Node name of Parnter07
Host Name/IP: Host/Ip of the Partner07 CD node
Port: Port of the Partner07 CD node
Alternate Ips: we can give here any alternate IPs for this CD node
Secure+: Option to enable/disable secure+ for SSL
Cert File: Public cert of the Partner07 CD node (In txt format with no headers)
Common Name: Common name of Partner07 CD
TLS Version: TLS version to be used in the communication
Ciphers: Ciphers to be used in the communication
Once the onboarding is done, we can see the status as completed.
C. Create Message Types or use the existing one in AMF:
Go to Message Types under Onboarding
Click on + icon in the right corner
In this scenario we will create the message type CD_UC04_MFG
D. Create Message Mapping with Sender, Receiver and Message Type with a file pattern:
Go to Message mapping under Onboarding
Click on +icon at the top right corner
Select Sender, Receiver and Message Type give pattern of the files that Partner07 will send and click save.
E. Create Mailbox Action
Go to Actions under Onboarding->Workflow
Click on + icon to create new action
Mailbox Path: Path of the receiver (Partner08) mailbox
Extraction Count: Option to add extraction for sent file (default value is 1).
F. Create Workflow Definition and add Action (Created in step E) as step1.
Go to Definitions under Onboarding->Workflow.
Click on + icon at the top right corner
Give Workflow Name, Description and click save
Double click on the Workflow Definition Name
Click on the + icon at the top right corner
Select the Action that we created in step E and click save
G. Create Workflow Rule with Sender, Receiver, Message Type and Workflow Definition Name (Created in step F).
Go to Rules under Onboarding -> Workflow
Click on + icon at the top right
Give Sender, Receiver, Message Type and Workflow (Created in step F) and click on save
H. Verify the Message Activity in AMF once Partner A uploads the file to SFG via CD protocol. If everything was configured correctly, the file will be Mailboxed to Partner B via HTTP(MFG) protocol.
Go to Message activity under Track N Trace
