Sending Business Documents


You can send business documents to the BusinessConnect host by placing files in the outbox directory on the file system or by dragging the files from the directory to the outbox window of the console.

You can also review and download documents that you sent previously using either the BusinessConnect Remote console or the file system.

Sending Documents Using the Console

The BusinessConnect Remote console provides a drag-and-drop pane, which allows you to easily send business documents to the BusinessConnect host.

To send documents using the console, perform these steps:

  1. Navigate to the business documents in Windows Explorer or your equivalent Linux file-system interface.
  2. Select the files and drag and drop them into the outbox pane.

Sending Documents Using the File System

TIBCO BusinessConnect Remote includes an outbox directory, which detects new files so that the BusinessConnect Remote server can transport the files to the BusinessConnect host. To send documents to the BusinessConnect host, simply move or copy the files into the outbox folder on your file system:

<BCREMOTE_HOME>/outbox/instanceName/protocol/bc_host_name 

This is the default location:

/tibco/bcremote/5.0/outbox/instanceName/protocol/bc_host_name 

The outbox file poller detects the new files and BusinessConnect Remote sends the files to the BusinessConnect host.

Reviewing and Downloading Sent Documents

Just as most email programs save a copy of the emails you send out and allow you to review those sent emails, BusinessConnect Remote saves a copy of the documents you sent to the BusinessConnect host and allows you to review and download those documents.

Reviewing and Downloading Sent Documents Using the Console

To review and download sent documents using the BusinessConnect Remote console, perform these steps:

  1. Select Sent Documents from the pull down list:

  2. Select the relevant time period from the pull down list to the right of the console and click Search.

  3. The console displays a list of documents sent during the chosen time period.

  4. Select the documents you want to download.
  5. Verify that the Delete on download check box is in the desired state. If you want BusinessConnect Remote software to delete the documents from the inbox folder on your file system after it downloads and saves the documents to the location you specify, leave the Delete on download check box checked. This is its default state. Otherwise, uncheck the Delete on download check box.
  6. Click Download. A file saver dialog appears.
  7. Navigate to the location in which you want to save the documents and click Download.

Reviewing and Downloading Sent Documents From the File System

To access sent documents from the file system, navigate to the BusinessConnect Remote history file:

bcremote_home/outbox/instance/protocol/bchost_name 

This is the default location:

/tibco/bcremote/5.0/outbox/instance/protocol/bchost_name
