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.
- Click Hub Admin > Hub Configuration > Targets to
display the Targets List page.
- From the Target List page, click Create Target.
Target Details
In the Target Details section, perform
the following steps:
- 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.
- 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.
- Optionally enter a description of the target.
- Select HTTP/S from the Transport list.
Target Configuration
In the Target Configuration section,
perform the following steps:
- 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.
- 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.
