Sending EDI Documents to Integration Server via File Polling
You can send an EDI document to Integration Server using File Polling. When you use File Polling, you define the:
Directory that
Integration Server monitors for files
EDI content type to associate with the files placed in that directory
Service to be executed to handle files placed in the directory
When files such as EDI documents are placed in this directory (for example, sent via FTP into the directory), Integration Server uses the content type you specify. Because the content type is an EDI content type, when Integration Server receives the EDI document in the monitored directory, it passes the document to the appropriate Module for EDI content handler. The content handler parses the document body and passes it in the edidata pipeline variable to the specified service.
