General Overview

All outbound transmission processing requires the configuration of an External System to which the messages will be sent. At a minimum, the External System must define the protocol to be used for the transport and any required external credentials.

The character encoding for all outbound transmissions is UTF-8.

There are various ways to trigger the sending of Transmissions to the external system from Transportation and Global Trade Management Cloud:

  • Some messages are sent automatically as the result of workflow notification.
  • Send and schedule integration transmissions in the Process Manager.
  • Re-send and schedule integration transmissions in the Process Manager.
  • Send transportation records to external systems from various managers using the Finder or Manager UI actions. The content of the information that is transmitted is determined by the context of the UI in Transportation and Global Trade Management Cloud from which you are sending it.
