Receiving OFTP2 messages

• In order to receive OFTP2 messages, these configuration requirements must be met:

   

• The OFTP2 service must be enabled. See Enabling OFTP2.

   

• You must create an OFTP trading partner with a Destination ID value that is equal to the incoming InitiatorIdentificationCode header of a partner's incoming OFTP2 message.  See Managing OFTP2 trading partners. This ensures that the trading partner is a known and trusted connection. When receiving an OFTP2 message  MFT Server will iterate through available OFTP trading partners to identify a match.  If no matching trading partner is found then the OFTP2 message will be rejected.

   

• You must also create a user account in the ACCOUNTS > Users > Users grid whose username matches the OFTP2 identification code of the incoming OFTP2 message.

   

• Lastly, you must provide connection parameters for MFT Server to your trading partners. The parameters needed will vary depending on the OFTP2 vendor software, however a list of available parameters may be found in Sending OFTP2 messages.
