Azure Blob --> SFG --> AMF --> SFG --> CD

Use Case: We run Schedule to get file from Partner49 (Sender) folder to SFG via Azure blob Protocol, we use Actions Unzip, EOL Conversion and Deliver those files to the Partner50 (Receiver) using CD Protocol via AMF.

Sequence Diagram:

Steps:

A. Onboard Partner49 and Partner50 in SFG using AMF.

B. Onboard Partner49 Azure Blob receives profile in SFG using AMF (MFT Initiated Communication Profile (Download)).

C. Create Communication Rule with Sender, Receiver, Message Type and Comm. profile Name Select Delivery Type as Schedule.

D. Onboard Partner50 Connect Direct node in SFG using AMF (Customer Initiated Communication Profile (Inbound)).

E. Create Message Type or use the existing one in AMF.

F. Create Message Mapping with Sender, Receiver and MessageType with a file pattern.

G. Create UNZIP Action as Action Type.

H. Create EOL Conversion Action as Action Type.

I. Create Delivery Action or use the predefined one (Deliver as is).

J. Create Workflow Definitions and add Actions (Created in step G and step H and step I) as step1, step2 and step3 respectively.

K. Create Workflow Rule with Sender, Receiver, Message Type and Workflow Definition Name (Created in step J).

L. Onboard Partner50 Connect Direct node Profile in SFG using AMF (MFT Initiated Communication Profile (Outbound))

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

N. Verify the Message Activity in AMF once the Partner49 uploads the file to SFG via Azure blob Protocol. If everything was configured correctly, the file will be delivered to Partner50 via CD Protocol.
