SFTP / FTP files and process them into JDE

We have an integration scenario where we need to SFTP files to/from JDE. Is this something that can be done in this product?

Yes. Anything that can be done in C# can be done in a business process (a business process is a C# class library that utilizes one or more JDE objects to natively integrate with JDE through its application layer). Several SFTP libraries (commercial and open source) are available for .NET. You can use one that suits your needs.

For your integration, you can do the SFTP outside the business process (in any programming language or design tool) or inside the business process.

Where does this business process run? If we do the SFTP outside the business process, how is it called/invoked?

The business process is not called directly. It is invoked through a web service. The data for the web service can be submitted as XML or a combination of XML and the file you want to process. This gives you the flexibility of SFTP-ing and/or parsing the file outside the business process or inside the business process. Also note that there are several available .NET libraries for parsing files.

Here is the architecture diagram:

So, I can essentially invoke SFTP through web service. I assume we can call business function in the business process? What about table update and insert? We are using a middleware that uses XML call object, which cannot do table updates - we are doing this through custom business functions.
