Re: Sending files

Yes, you can integrate OTM with external web services. The restriction is that OTM will only pass out G-Log XML, so you'll need an integration engine (if you're running MS software - this may be BizTalk) to accept the request and transform it into the format you need for your end system(s).

The basic steps are:
  1. Create a Web service definition in OTM
  2. Associate a WSDL file with this web service that describes your endpoint.
  3. Create an External System in OTM, which uses this web service definition for transmission
  4. Associate this external system with your agent or action that is going to send the integration transmission (planned shipment, order updates, etc).
I don't believe this is fully documented anywhere, though I'd recommend checking the OTM Integration guide.
