The iXPath BPMN
Introduction
iXPath uses the BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) standard for the translation part.
BPMN is a business process modeling method to describe the business activities of an organization in a graphical representation.
Below an example of a flow traced by the iXPath BPMN module:
As we can see, there is 2 main types : Connectors and Gateways
Connectors
A connector is an algorithm that is executed via a trigger. In iXPath, the trigger is always an input file.
In this part, we go through each of the connectors and their particularities:
Listeners
A listening connector (or listener) is the entry point for a scenario. It allows the event created to be routed through a communication channel (FTP, SFTP, AS2, MAIL, FILE, Webservice). Communication configuration is required to handle those connectors.
Note : iXPath detects incoming events in real time.
| Listener Name | Icon | Description |
|---|---|---|
| FTP Listener |  | Listen on a FTP/FTPS communication, on specific user (created locally) and on specific directory. |
| SFTP Listener | Listen on a SFTP communication, on specific user (created locally) and on specific directory. | |
