Configuring an Inbound and Outbound Process in iWay Service Manager

In this section:

The following section describes how to use the components described previously, in order to build a simple process which picks up an incoming FIXML file from a file folder, converts it to FIX format, and sends it to the FIX Engine (simulated by the server.bat file). The outbound scenario accepts a file from the FIX Engine, converts it to XML, and drops it in a specified file location. The following two channels must be created in iWay Service Manager in order to run this process:
