Run-Time Processing for Host Partners
If you are a host partner (the partner with the FTP server on your Integration Server), you will send and retrieve EDIINT AS3 messages as follows:
Host Partner Sending an EDIINT AS3 Message to a Client Partner
1. The host partner invokes the wm.EDIINT:send service, which creates an EDIINT AS3 message and uploads it to the userFtpRoot\userhome\AS3\inbox directory on the FTP server.
2. The client partner logs in to the host partner's FTP server and retrieves the message from the host partner's userFtpRoot\userhome\AS3\inbox directory. The client partner can optionally delete the message.
Host Partner Retrieving an EDIINT AS3 Message or MDN from a Client Partner
1. The client partner logs in to the host partner's FTP server and uploads the EDIINT AS3 message or MDN to the host partner's userFtpRoot\userhome\AS3\outbox directory.
2. EDIINT submits the EDIINT AS3 message or MDN to Trading Networks to be processed.
3. EDIINT places an MDN response message (if the TPA specifies it) in the host partner's userFtpRoot\userhome\AS3\inbox directory.
