How to setup FTP port in webMethods Integration Server

[ahmed_shabbir]

Hello Community,

I am learning MWS Trading Networks and I am trying to send document to Trading Partner through FTP which require FTP port configured in Integration Server.

I currently don’t know how to create FTP port in IS. I would appreciate if someone in community can let me know a high level sequence of steps to configure/setup FTP port in webMethods Integration Server.

Thanks

Hi @ahmed_shabbir,
It certainly helps the forum helpers if there is more information on what you are trying to achieve
The following questions is a start

What product/components do you use and which version/fix level are you on?

Is your question related to the free trial, or to a production (customer) instance?

What are you trying to achieve? Please describe it in detail.

Do you get any error messages? Please provide a full error message screenshot and log file.

The version information is really important. I hope you have gone through our documentation
https://documentation.softwareag.com/webmethods/integration_server/pie10-15/webhelp/pie-webhelp/pdf/integration-server-administrators-guide.pdf which has elaborate information on how to configure FTP/FTPS port in Integration Server.Please check this and let us know if this suffices your requirement.

Thanks,
Sree

If you’re sending data to a partner via FTP, you don’t need an FTP port in Integration Server. An FTP port in Integration Server is to receive data via FTP. For sending, use the services in pub.client.ftp. Also, be very certain that the data being sent is not sensitive – FTP in no way is secure unless you’re using FTPS.

For learning new things, I find the SAG wM documents helpful in most cases. The docs describe how to define an FTP port, if you ever have a need to define one.

[ Edit ] : I overlooked the TN aspect. Glad @Holger_von_Thomsen was paying closer attention than I was.

Hi Ahmed,

please check the TN Administrators Guide and TN Users Guide for further information.
I think that the FTP/FTPS connectivity should be defined in the TN Partner Profile in MWS Admin under Delivery Settings → Delivery Methods.

When sending TN Documents, it will be better to use the services located in the WmTN package instead of the services from WmPublic package to get the documents properly recorded in the TN database schema.
See the TN Built-In-Services Reference for details.
