This section describes the iWay business components and the processing steps in the basic outbound message flow.
The outbound process converts an XML document to a TRADACOMS-formatted document. Outbound processing consists of the following components in the sample message flow:
The file listener picks up the incoming XML document.
A process flow guides the document through the next stages of the process.
Rules processing runs against the XML-formatted TRADACOMS document to validate its structure and content. The published TRADACOMS standards and user implementation guides define element types (for example, numeric, alpha, or date) and describe business rules to apply for validation.
The XMLToTRADTransformAgent obtains the message type and version from the XML-formatted TRADACOMS document. The appropriate transformation template is applied from the Ebix. The transformation converts the XML-formatted TRADACOMS document to TRADACOMS format.
The validation report service (TRAD_Validation_rpt) creates a validation report in XML format. This validation report indicates a status of success or failure, which is used to route the document in the process flow.
Outlets define how messages leave a channel at the end of a process. In this example, a Passthrough emitter is used. All the file emits are done in the process flow.
For more information on the emitters available with iSM, see the iWay Service Manager User's Guide.
