I work for a manufacturing company. They use it for the B2B landscape. They use IBM Sterling Integrator for both the EDI transactions and managed file transfers. We have Sterling File Gateway as well as the Integrator for translation. We have two different environments to handle, and we have close to 12,000 suppliers and carriers. They do EDI transactions through us using Sterling Integrator. We facilitate the EDI transition to the respective SAP equivalent data translations, whether it’s an IDOC or a flat-file, based on the requirements. We also onboard the Sterling partners on the system, whoever wants to do EDI.
We use IBM Sterling File Gateway for partner onboarding, both external and internal, who need to transfer files. It allows end-to-end onboarding of partners. Based on partner needs, we can handle different file patterns, renaming, PGP encryption, and general file encryption.
I use the solution in my company since we have lots of different use cases attached to the tool. Mainly, we have incoming flow in SFTP or SCP protocols. Some of the files are pushed to local file systems or other internal servers. For outgoing flow, we have BMC Software to control and receive orders and push files to the server using different protocols. We also have a few specific business processes to connect HTTPS servers to get or push files.
We use IBM Sterling File Gateway to transfer files from a source to a target. This involves creating producers, consumers, channels, and templates to facilitate the file transfer. In Sterling Integrator, we implement business processes to define how a particular file should be picked up, the file filter format, and the protocol to be used. These configurations can be set at the Unix level or within the Sterling Integrator business processes. The files are picked up from the source and transferred to the target. We manage external files by using IDs and other necessary details. We handle everything from gathering information from partners to onboarding and through the hypercare phase, ensuring complete management of the file transfer process.
