Run-Time Processing for Client Partners

If you are a client partner (the partner accessing a remote FTP server on an Integration Server), you will send and retrieve EDIINT AS3 messages as follows:

Client Partner Sending an EDIINT AS3 Message to the Host Partner

1. The client partner invokes the wm.EDIINT:send service, which creates an EDIINT AS3 message and uploads it to the host partner's FTP server.

2. The host partner processes the EDIINT AS3 message and puts an MDN (if the TPA specifies it) on the host partner's FTP server.

Client Partner Retrieving an EDIINT AS3 message or MDN from the Host Partner

1. The client partner invokes the wm.EDIINT:retrieveAS3Message service, which logs in to the host partner's FTP server and downloads the EDIINT AS3 message or MDN. EDIINT deletes the message if the TPA specifies it.

2. EDIINT submits the EDIINT AS3 message or MDN to Trading Networks to be processed.

3. If the TPA requires an MDN response message, EDIINT logs in to the FTP server and uploads the MDN to the host partner's FTP server.
