Add Provisioning Facts (Optional)

Note: The fact ConsumerBroadcastGroup does not have to be set as a provisioning fact
here. it can also be set as a producer file structure file name pattern. If the
ConsumerBroadcastGroup is set by the file name pattern in the producer file structure, the
producer specifies the name of the File Gateway Partner Group in the name of the file they
upload.

Please note that the file that has to be routed should match the Producer File Structure we
have configured in the Routing Channel Template.
In this example it should be ConsumerGroupName_RealFileName

Determining the Consumer using a Business Process

Create a Business Process in IBM Sterling B2B Integrator which will populate list of
consumers at the ProcessData level. For the below example the list of consumers are
generated under ConsumerNameList/Consumer.

<process name = "MyBroadcastList">

<sequence>
<assign to="ConsumerNameList/Consumer">CONS1</assign>
<assign to="ConsumerNameList/Consumer" append ="true">CONS2</assign>
<assign to="ConsumerNameList/Consumer" append ="true">CONS3</assign>
<assign to="ConsumerNameList/Consumer" append ="true">CONS4</assign>
</sequence>
</process>

2014 IBM Corporation

Determining the Consumer using a Business Process

Check the output of the Business Process and make sure the list of consumers are populated
under the process data element level ConsumerNameList/Consumer

Properties and Event Codes

FgmaxBroadcastListSize : Maximum allowed size of the consumer list used for broadcast.
If the returned list of consumers exceeds this size, the file is not routed. By default, the
maximum size of a broadcast list is set to 100.

FG_0553 : InvalidConsumerBroadcastGroup
FG_0554 : MaxBroadcastGroupSizeExceeded
