Achraf El Kari 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.

Achraf El Kari 2.2 13
Outhman Moustaghfir 42.2 14 As we can see, there are 2 main types: Connectors and Gateways
Achraf El Kari 2.2 15
Achraf El Kari 1.3 16 = Connectors =
Achraf El Kari 1.1 17
Achraf El Kari 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:
21
Achraf El Kari 4.1 22 == Listeners ==
Achraf El Kari 2.4 23
Achraf El Kari 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.
