2.2 | 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. | ||

42.2 | 14 | As we can see, there are 2 main types: Connectors and Gateways |

1.1 | 17 | |
| |
2.4 | 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: | ||

4.1 | 22 | == Listeners == |
| |
2.4 | 23 | |
| |
19.2 | 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. |
