Endpoints Overview

Endpoints are points of entry or exit for documents in B2B Data Exchange. Endpoints specify how and where B2B Data Exchange sends and receives documents for specific partners or accounts.

You create endpoints as a part of the on-boarding process for one or more partners or accounts. B2B Data Exchange uses the information in the endpoint when a workflow runs for the partner or the account.

When you create endpoints, you define common properties, such as endpoint type, description, and partner or account. In addition, you define unique properties for each endpoint type.

For some endpoints, you can use configuration variables when you specify file name patterns. The configuration variables can represent object name, such as partners, accounts, or profiles. For example, use ($partnerId) to represent the partner ID for which to process documents to or from the endpoint.

You can use the Operation Console to configure protocol communication parameters and details for Informatica Managed File Transfer endpoints. Before you can do this, you must install the Informatica Managed File Transfer application and enable Single Sign On.

Create an MFT Remote Receive Endpoint to use Informatica Managed File Transfer to receive files from a partner hosted server to the organization. Create an MFT Remote Send Endpoint to use Informatica Managed File Transfer to send files from the organization to the server hosted by the partner.

Before you create an MFT Remote Send or MFT Remote Receive endpoint, create an MFT Connection. The MFT Connection defines how Informatica Managed File Transfer communicates with the remote server.

Create an MFT Hosted Receive Endpoint to receive files uploaded by the web users associated with the partner, to the services hosted by Informatica Managed File Transfer. Create an MFT Hosted Send Endpoint to send files to web users associated with the partner.

Before you create an MFT Hosted Send endpoint or MFT Hosted Receive endpoint, create an MFT Web User. The MFT Web User is an account that supports partner communication with the organization-hosted servers, defined in Informatica Managed File Transfer as Services. Managed File Transfer Services support FTP, FTPS, SFTP, HTTPS, and AS2 protocols.
