URI Format for Outbound File Pollers

For the Outbound File Poller, the directory structure format is /BaseDir/*.*

Example: /opt/inbound/*.*

This ensures that all the directories under BaseDir are checked for files.

The format for the monitor directory path is as follows:

xxx/ProtocolName/partner/Operation_Name

Example: xxx/EZComm/partner/BC_1.0_Notify

For the file to be handled by Services Plug-in, the document must be structured in the following format:

  • Default behavior, such as for the operation BC/1.0/Notify:

    BaseDir/TpName

  • Non-default behavior, for other operations:

    BaseDir/TpName/Category_Version_OperationID

where

  • BaseDir is a user-selected base directory
  • TpName is the name of the trading partner
  • Category is the operation category
  • Version is the operation version
  • OperationID is the operation ID

If Category_Version_OperationID is not provided, then it defaults to BC/1.0/Notify.

Since the default operation has changed from BC/Notify to BC/1.0/Notify, files in the Category_operationID directory are treated as Category_Empty_operationID. For example, BusinessConnect Container Edition looks for an operation Category/Empty/operationID in the configuration store.
