mappings for custom files with custom mappings
B2B Gateway
uses custom mappings to handle inbound and outbound custom files based on the flows that you assign to the partner.
When you define an inbound flow you must use a custom mapping to receive partner files. The inbound mapping can write the data either to an interface file on the
B2B Gateway
document store or to the backend system. If the inbound mapping writes the data to the document store, you can use an additional custom mapping to write the data to the backend system.
For inbound Excel, TXT, and CSV files, instead of creating custom mappings to process the incoming files, you can use Informatica Intelligent Structure Discovery to automatically discover the file structure and create CSV interface files. You can then create custom mappings that process the data to your backend system.
When you define an outbound flow you must use a custom mapping to read the data to send to the partner from the backend system. The mapping writes the data to an interface file on the
B2B Gateway
document store. You can use an additional, outbound custom mapping to send the data to the partner.
