You can use these main/core services to submit (EDI/XML/FlatFile data)

wm.tn.doc.xml:routeXML (prefer to use this)
wm.tn:receive (gateway service)
wm.tn.doc.ff:routeFlatFile

Also you should review this online documentation for more help on the above TN services mentioned above and basics:

Why do you recommend routeXML?

4

I always recommend this for internal usage (service routing to TN) rather than using gateway service (tn:receive) from external world to TN…

Isn’t that you follow the same way? Do you agree?

No. I use wm.tn:receive unless there is a specific reason not to.

Generally, I don’t expose any of the wm.tn services outside of the wM IS/TN environment.

I was telling to use routeXML (Internally) and ofcourse (tn:receive) will be the gateway service:

We should be on the same page now!

Good day!

I think we agree that wm.tn services should only be used internally, never exposed to other applications or partners. Even wm.tn:receive should not be called by anything outside of IS.

Where we may still disagree is using routeXML by default. I would use receive by default and routeXML only when there is a specific reason to do so.

Thanks rmg & reamon for ur valuable suggestions.
But can sum1 plz clarify that which service has to be used by default(routeXML or receive).

wm.tn:receive (use this to receive documents from the external world to TN gateway)

routeXML (use this when you develop any internal routing frame work for e.g:backend/canonical/EDI conversion that should route via TN)

In my opinion, the default to use is wm.tn:receive

For me, it is immaterial whether the communication is inside or outside. And nothing outside of wM IS should call receive directly. Always provide what TN refers to as a gateway service for others to call. Within that service, call receive.

Agreed…Yes from external Reverse Gateway should make a call to Internal IS/TN gateway service as a standard practice:

Thank you!
