Vendors Firewall

[Former Member]

Our Vendors are going to create INVOICES in a File inside

Vendors Firewall. And they are asking us to pull using XI for further

processing. Whether XI can pull a file that is sitting outside the Firewall.

Thanks.

Hi Rohini,

XI can pull the file provided the File supports that protocol. i,e FTPS etc.

If it is not possible directly by the File Adapter, you can try to call the script from the XI box, and this will connect to firewall with secured (as required i.e SSH ) protocol and pull the file to XI box. So the Firewall folder is communicated with appropriate Protocols . For e.g sftp etc

Hi,

of course it can:)

but you need to know the protocol

if the use ftp they need to open FTP port

on their firewall if SFTP then different port etc...

so you need to find out which protocol they will support
