File & DataManager System Architecture

  • Managed File Transfer (MFT): Secure file and data exchange via SFTP, FTPS, local directories, and much more.

  • Script execution & trigger logic: Automated shell/PowerShell/batch scripts in response to file events

  • Web service calls: Integration and control of REST and SOAP web services for process networking

  • End-to-end automation: From file receipt and processing to SAP posting or non-SAP processing

  • Seamless integration into BatchMan & EWS: Transfer to jobs, status inheritance, reaction logic in case of errors

  • Central monitoring & reporting: Transparency and control over all file and follow-up processes

File interfaces have become safer and more transparent. The interface managers in the departments have more confidence in the file services, and thanks to the convenient set up of SMB/FTP connections, it is now easy to create file interfaces into BatchMan jobs and E2E connections.
