Setting up an HTTP/S target

The Receiver component has a predefined bcgreceiver servlet that is used to receive HTTP/S POST messages. You create one or more HTTP targets to access the messages received by the servlet.

The following steps describe what you need to specify for an HTTP/S target.

  1. Click Hub Admin > Hub Configuration > Targets to display the Targets List page.
  2. From the Target List page, click Create Target.

Target Details

In the Target Details section, perform the following steps:

  1. Type a name for the target. For example, you might call the target HttpTarget1. This is a required field. The name you enter here will be displayed on the Targets list.
  2. Optionally indicate the status of the target. Enabled is the default. A target that is enabled is ready to accept documents. A target that is disabled cannot accept documents.
  3. Optionally enter a description of the target.
  4. Select HTTP/S from the Transport list.

Target Configuration

In the Target Configuration section, perform the following steps:

  1. Optionally, specify the gateway type. The gateway type defines the nature of the transmission. For example, if you want to test a document exchange before putting it into production, you would enter Test. The default is Production.
  2. Enter the URI for the HTTP/S target. The name must begin with bcgreceiver. For example, you might enter bcgreceiver/submit. Documents coming into the server over HTTP/S would then be received at bcgreceiver/submit.
    Note: The Sync Routing values are already filled in, and you cannot edit them from this page. To modify these values, you use the Global Transport Attributes page, as described in Setting global transport values.

Handlers

If you will be receiving files containing multiple EDI interchanges or XML or ROD documents that need to be split, configure the appropriate splitter handler in the Preprocess configuration point.

If you will be sending or receiving certain types of business documents (RosettaNet, cXML, SOAP, and AS2) through a synchronous exchange, specify a handler for the associated protocol in the SyncCheck configuration point. You can also modify the Postprocess configuration points for the target.

To modify a configuration point, go to Modifying configuration points. Otherwise, click Save.
