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

Use Case: Partner25 (Sender) sends files to SFG via HTTP (MFG) protocol, we change file name, GZIP and deliver those files to Partner26 (Receiver) using CD protocol from SFG via AMF (Agile Messaging Framework).

Sequence Diagram:

Steps:

A. Onboard Partner25 and Partner26 in SFG using AMF.

B. Onboard Partner26 Connect Direct Node 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 Route Action with Changing file name, date format.

F. Create GZIP Action as Action Type.

G. Create Deliver Action as Action Type or use the predefined one (Deliver as is).

H. Create Workflow definitions and add Actions (Created in step E, step F and step G) as step 1, step2 and step3 respectively.

I. Create Workflow Rule with Sender, Receiver, Message Type and Workflow definition name (Created in step H).

J. Create MFT Initiated profile for outbound delivery in Partner26 with CD Protocol.

K. Create Communication Rule with Sender, Receiver, Message Type and Comm. Profile Name.

L. Verify the Message Activity in AMF once Partner25 uploads the file to SFG via HTTP (MFG) Protocol. If everything was configured correctly, the file will be delivered to Partner26 via CD Protocol.

Process:

A. Onboard Partner25 and Partner26 in SFG via AMF:

  1. Login to AMF

Go to Onboarding ->Users

Click on + icon at the top right corner

Select Customer and give details of Partner25, select User Type, Authentication Type and click next.

  1. User Type: Which Zone does the partner belong to send or receive files? (DMZ or Trusted)

  2. Authentication Type: Where do we store the partner credentials? (LDAP or local (SFG/AMF) or Both)

Select the provider the partner belongs to and click next

  1. AMF: AMF provider is used to onboard Partners which use UFA

  2. IBM: The details will come from the provider’s config. We can choose several types based on the provider's config.

  3. Open LDAP: We need to select this if we selected the Authentication Type as LDAP in step 4-ii.

Verify the Partner details and click Onboard User.

Repeat the above steps to Onboard Partner26.

B. Onboard Partner26 Connect Direct Node in SFG using AMF (Customer Initiated Communication Profiles (Inbound)).

  1. Double click on the Partner26

Click on + icon in the top right corner

Give details of the Node and click save

  1. Operating System: Operating system of the Partner26

  2. SPOE: Option to enable/disable Secure point of entry

  3. Node Name: Node name of Partner26

  4. Host Name/IP: Host/IP of Partner26 CD node

  5. Port: Port of Partner26 CD node

  6. Alternate IPs: we can give here any alternate IPs for this CD node

  7. Secure+: Option to enable/disable secure+ for SSL

  8. Cert File: Public cert of Partner26 CD node (In txt format with no headers)

  9. Common Name: Common name of Partner26 CD

  10. TLS Version: TLS version to be used in the communication

  11. Ciphers: Ciphers to be used in the communication

  12. Once the onboarding is done, we can see the status as completed.

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

Go to Message Types under Onboarding

Click on + icon in the right corner to add a new message type

Note: In this scenario we will use the existing message type (GENERIC)

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 Partner25 will send and click save.

E. Create Route Action as Action Type.

Go to Action under Onboarding->Workflow

Click on + icon to create new action

Create Route Action with Changing file name, date format and click save.

F. Create GZIP Action as Action Type

Go to Action under Onboarding->Workflow

Click on + icon to create new action

Create GZIP Action as Action Type and click save

G. Create Deliver Action as Action Type or use the predefined one (Deliver as is).

Go to Action under Onboarding->Workflow

Click on + icon to create new action

Create Deliver Action as Action Type and click save

H. Create Workflow definitions and add Actions (Created in stepE, stepF and step G) as step1, step2 and step 3 respectively.

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) as step1 and click Save.

Select the Action that we created in (step F) as step2 and click save.

Select the Action that we created in (step G) as step3 and click save.

I. Create Workflow Rule with Sender, Receiver, Message Type and Workflow definition name (Created in step H).

Go to Rules under Onboarding -> Workflow

Click on + icon at the top right

Give Sender, Receiver, Message Type, Workflow (created in step H) and click on save

J. Create MFT Initiated profile for outbound delivery in Partner26 with CD protocol.

Select MFT initiated and give the details

  1. SPOE: Option to know if Partner26 will use SPOE or not (If SPOE was not used then we need to give Remote user ID and Remote Password)

  2. Submitter User ID: Option to pass submitter user ID

  3. Remote User ID: Remote User ID of Partner26 node

  4. Use Source File Name: Option to use source filename.

  5. Remote File Name: Remote file name if you disabled the Use Source File Name in the step 3-iv.

  6. Remote Path: Path for the file to be placed.

  7. Disposition: dropdown to select disposition of the file

  8. Binary mode: Option to enable or disable binary mode for file transfer

  9. Copy Statement Sys opts: Option to execute copy step Sys opts. If we enable that we need to give the Sys opts to run

K. Create Communication Rule with Sender, Receiver, Message Type and Comm. profile Name.

Go to Rules under Onboarding -> Communications

Click on + icon at the top right

Select Sender, Receiver, Message Type, Comm. profile name and click on save

L. Verify the Message activity in AMF once Partner25 uploads the file http (MFG) to SFG via HTTP protocol. If everything was configured correctly, the file will be delivered to Partner26 via CD protocol.

Go to Message activity under Track N Trace

To see more details of the delivered double click on the record

Here we can see the Process Name, Process Number, Message ID, DDSN etc. for the file delivered to the Partner26
