Use Case: PartnerA (Sender) send files to SFG via SFTP protocol, We Zip and deliver those files to the PartnerB (Receiver) using HTTP protocol (MFG) from SFG via AMF (Agile Messaging Framework).
Sequence Diagram
Steps:
A. Onboard PartnerA and PartnerB in SFG using AMF.
B. Onboard PartnerA SFTP profile in SFG using AMF (Customer Initiated Communication Profiles (Inbound)).
C. Create Message Types or use the existing one in AMF.
D. Create Message Mapping with Sender, Receiver and Message Type with a file pattern.
E. Create Zip Action as Action type.
F. Create Mailbox Action as Action type.
G. Create Workflow Definition and add Actions (Created in step E and step F) as step1 and step2.
H. Create Workflow Rule with Sender, Receiver, Message Type and Workflow Definition Name (Created in step G).
I. Verify the Message activity in AMF once PartnerA uploads the file to SFG via SFTP protocol. If everything was configured correctly, the file will be Mailboxed to Partner B via HTTP protocol (MFG).
