The following section describes what the Submit Agent is and what its responsibility is:

Agent Responsibility

The Submit Agent acts as the "entry-point" of the component for when a message is to be sent. Its only task is to make sure that the SubmitMessage is transformed to an AS4Message using a Sending Processing Mode so that the message can be send correctly by the Send Agent to the next MSH

Message Flow

When a SubmitMessage gets sent to the agent, it goes to a flow to transform the message to a canonical AS4Message used in the rest of the component.

1. Retrieve the right Sending Processing Mode from the SubmitMessage used further in the AS4.NET Component
2. Transform the incoming SubmitMessage to an AS4Message using both the information specified in the SubmitMessage and the determined Sending Processing Mode
3. Send the AS4Message to the Send Agent so it can further be processed

Agent Trigger

The Submit operation is triggered each time the Business Application (message producer) sends a SubmitMessage to the agent. A SubmitMessage can be send to the Submit Agent via a its configured Receiver.

Static Submit Configuration

The Submit Agent can be configured as a Static Submit Agent. This requires you to pre-configure the Submit Agent with a specific Sending Processing Mode. A Static Submit Agent requires you to submit payloads directly to the agent instead of using SubmitMessage's. For every submitted payload, the pre-configured Sending Processing Mode will be used to create an AS4Message.

To configure a Static Submit Agent, do the following:

• Go to the configuration of the Submit Agent you want to make static
• Change the Transformer to a SubmitPayloadTransformer
• The setting SendingPMode will appear
• Specify the Sending Processing Mode that must be used to create AS4Message's for the files that are sent to the Submit Agent
