How Does the Partner Manager Route a Document?
The Partner Manager determines how to route a document based on routing rules that you establish on your webMethods Integration Server. When the Partner Manager receives a document, it looks for a routing rule that matches the following attributes of the incoming document:
Sender
Receiver
Message Type
When Partner Manager locates the routing rule that matches these criteria, it executes the routing action specified by that rule. Depending on how you define the rule, the routing action might deliver the document to:
A service on the local machine or a remote machine
An FTP location
An SMTP mailbox
