Description

Resolution:
For EDI-Gateway to work in passthrough mode while receiving inbound files, you would have to configure the following steps:

1. Select EDI-Gateway in Protocol Editor of Configuration GUI
2. Create a "new transmission" called TEXT after selecting transaction type from the drop down list to be "Text Document"
3. Enable File poller under Server Settings-&gtPartner to Host Transports
4. Create a new trading partner and configure FTP-Get transport within the trading partner to pick up a particular text file after specifiy the FTP location, input mask etc.
5. Once the engine is started up the EDI FTP-Get poller will pick up the file from the FTP-Get location and pass it to the private process without performing any validation, the message published to private process will be like

and the text file will get transferred based on the outbound transports configured.
