4. The iXPath BPMN

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.

== Scenario ==

A scenario connector deals directly with the input file, either translating it into some desired format or copying it, etc...

		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.

		13
		14	As we can see, there are 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.
