CD --> SFG --> AMF --> S3
Use Case: PartnerA (Sender) send files to SFG via CD protocol, we use GZIP and Deliver those files to the PartnerB (Receiver) using S3 protocol via AMF (Agile Messaging Framework).
Sequence Diagram:
Steps:
A. Onboard Partner A in SFG via AMF and Partner B in AMF.
B. Onboard Partner A connect direct node in SFG using AMF (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 GZIP Action as Action Type.
F. Create Delivery Action or use the predefined one (Deliver as is).
G. Create Workflow Definitions and add Actions (Created in step E and step F) as step1 and step2 respectively.
H. Create Workflow Rule with Sender, Receiver, Message Type and Workflow Definition name (Created in step G).
I. Onboard PartnerB S3 Profile using AMF (MFT Initiated communication Profile (Outbound))
J. Create Communication Rule with Sender, Receiver, Message Type and Comm Profile Name.
K. Verify the Message Activity in AMF once the Partner A uploads the file to SFG via CD protocol. If everything was configured correctly, the file will be delivered to Partner B via S3 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
Note: For convenience we will use the below users instead of PartnerA and PartnerB

Open Ldap: We need to select this if we selected the Authentication Type as LDAP in the step2.
Verify the Partner details and click Onboard User.
Repeat the above steps to Onboard Partner32.
B. Onboard Partner A Connect Direct nodes in SFG using AMF (Customer Initiated Communication Profile (Inbound)).
