> Outbound File Pollers for the Services Plug-in
> The outbound File poller provides a simple way for private processes to transmit documents to TIBCO BusinessConnect. This contrasts with the other transports, which are used for communication between trading partners.

> | The sending partner for outbound File pollers is assumed to be the default host.

> Outbound File pollers are used by enterprises that do not want to use TIBCO Rendezvous to transfer documents to TIBCO BusinessConnect.
> URI Format for Outbound File Pollers
> For the File transport, URI format is as follows: file://BaseDir/*.*
> This causes all directories under BaseDir to be checked for files.
> In order for the file to be handled by the Services Plug-in, the document must appear as follows:

> • | 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, TIBCO BusinessConnect looks for an operation Category/Empty/operationID in the configuration store.
