Hello everyone,

I'm new at OTM and I am working in a project to implement OTM for a logistics department. I have read some documents and manuals but I'm afraid I need some help with OTM integration using httppost strategy.

What I'm trying to do, is implementing an interface that keeps OTM sincronized with an external system via httpost in "real-time" (sending xml messages based on GlogXMLSchema.xsd).

In order to achive that, I was planning to establish this two procedures:
A.Incomming data into OTM (from external system)
A.1- External system performs httppost and sends valid xml to OTM
A.2- OTM processes xml file
A.3- OTM sends Report back to external system
A.4- External systems gets the transmission report
A.5- If Report is succesfull external systems commits changes in its DB, otherwise it rolls back changes.

So far, I have managed to send and process xml files properly but I couldn't get any Report back to the external system. It seems OTM is "generating" the report, but the xml file is not reaching the external system. Any suggestions on how to catch that report? (step A.4).

B.Outbound data from OTM to external system
B.1- OTM sends a xml file to the external system: a "before persist Modification-event" placed on an OTM object triggers an agent that executes a "Send-integration" action.
B.2- External system receives the xml file and processes it.
B.3- External system sends back to OTM a Transmission status (success or error)
B.4- OTM commits or rolls back the modifications depending on the status received.

For this one, I'm having problems at step B.3: Send-integration action always seems to finish successfully (even though the external system returns an error status) so I can't manage to interrupt the agent and do rollback.
Besides I couldn't find a way to inform of an error through the GUI (in order to let the user know the operation was aborted).

I would really appreciate if anybody could advice me on this, not only on the particular issues but also on the overall interface strategy.

Thank you very much for your help!!!!
