Sending Documents to Your Trading Networks from Another System
If a trading partner does not have its own Trading Networks, the partner must use an application that communicates with the host Integration Server to send documents to Trading Networks. This application is called an IS client. Clients can be Java, C/C++, or browser based.
If sending an XML document, the client must invoke the wm.tn:receive service. If sending a flat file document, the client must invoke a document gateway service, and the gateway service must invoke the wm.tn:receive service.
Clients can send documents to Trading Networks service using the methods below.
Method | Client |
Post an XML or flat file document to the Integration Server through HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, FTPS, or SMTP. | Any type except browser based |
Submit an XML document in the $xmldata variable. | Any type |
Send an XML or flat file document by invoking a Web service you publish. | Any type |
You can create a Web service using any Integration Server service. The service you use to create the Web service must internally invoke the wm.tn:receive service.
