Trading Networks and FTP polling

Hi all,

Is it possible to use TN to “ftp.get” a document from a partner? I know it would be possible to use a scheduled service to poll the partner’s FTP directory and post the XML document to TN but would it be possible to get TN to periodically poll the partner’s FTP directory by itself?

Cheers.

No.

The WmEDI package has services to interact with VANs. The services do exactly what you mention: login to an FTP server, retrieve the files found, submit each to TN receive. You can look at those services to guide the development of your own FTP poll service.

Oops. I meant the WmEDIforTN package, not the WmEDI package.
