About File Transfer Protocol
The Mediation server uses file transfer protocol (FTP) for performing batch provisioning.
Batch processing uses the following steps:
BOSS sends batch provisioning data files by FTP to the Mediation server.
BOSS sends SOAP request (containing the batch file name and operation time) to Mediation server.
The Mediation server parses the SOAP request.
If the Mediation server validates the data file, it creates a SOAP response for each operation in the data file and send to the
SPR
database.
BOSS periodically queries the Mediation server to check the status of batch operations.
The Mediation server sends a response code to BOSS.
After BOSS receives a
result code = 0
and
status = completed
, it can download the
log
file for analysis.
