Alternative to the Transport Mechanism Business Service Step

If you do not have an IFX Service Provider, you can replace this business service step with two business service steps:

• A business service step that writes the IFX request document to a file.

• A business service step that reads the corresponding IFX response document from a file.

You may want to use this alternative during development, so that you can work without using an IFX server or middleware. Save all request and response message pairs into files to test all possibilities locally. Save a single IFX document in each file. The number of files depends on how many IFX documents you want to maintain.
