| 7 | **iXPath** uses the BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) standard for the translation part. | ||
| 8 | BPMN is a business process modeling method to describe the business activities of an organization in a graphical representation. | ||
| 9 | |||
| 10 | Below an example of a flow traced by the iXPath BPMN module: | ||

| 14 | As we can see, there is 2 main types : Connectors and Gateways | ||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | = Connectors = | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | A connector is an algorithm that is executed via a trigger. In iXPath, the trigger is always an input file. | ||
| 19 | |||
| 20 | In this part, we go through each of the connectors and their particularities: | ||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | == Listeners == | ||
| 23 | |||
| 24 | A listening connector (or listener) is the entry point for a scenario. It allows the created event to be routed through a communication channel (FTP, SFTP, AS2, MAIL, FILE, Webservice). Communication's config is required to handle those connectors. | ||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | **//Note ~://** iXPath detects incoming events in real time. | ||
