Defining a Custom Partner to Partner Exchange Destination Application

After you have selected the Source application, the next step while creating a Template is to define the Destination application. A Destination Application is an application from where data is to be transferred from the Source application. After defining the Destination application, you must choose an Action.

An Action is performed at the destination. For example, in an FTP Destination application, if you choose Create File as an action, then a file will be generated at the destination.

You need to define and configure all the destination applications if the Process Flow has multiple target activities. Following are the steps to define and configure the Destination application. Follow the same steps to configure other destination applications.

To select and configure the Destination application of the Template:

  1. Select the application and click Next

     

  2. Select the action and click Next.

    The list of actions differs for the selected Destination application. For the complete list of actions of the supported applications, refer to Appendix C: Supported Applications.

  8. Select the target data format and target data layout. Target data format is the format in which you want the target file, for example, text, excel.
