An Endpoint represents a source or destination for data you want to move. For instance, you create Endpoints for each of your customers, partners, and back-end systems that you want to integrate. An Endpoint is defined within CIC, but the actual data source resides outside of CIC. You can create different types of endpoints, including AS2, SFTP, and FTP, depending on what protocol you intend for the endpoint to either send or receive data over.
Consider these use cases.
Partner Onboarding
Partner Onboarding is the process of connecting your customers and trading partners with CIC to enable secure and reliable file exchange as part of an integration. You use Endpoints to specify transfer protocol and data source information for your customers and trading partners.
Connecting to Back-end Systems
Connecting to your back-end systems enables communication between your internal infrastructure—whether on-premises, cloud-based, or a combination of both—and CIC. This integration allows data to flow seamlessly between CIC and your internal systems.
You use Endpoints to connect your on-premises back-end systems, such as local file storage or databases, enabling seamless data exchange with CIC.
Connecting to the CIC Transformation Engine
CIC includes a special type of Endpoint, called Transformation, which is used exclusively for transferring data into and out of the CIC Integration Engine. You do not need to create this Endpoint—CIC comes with the Transformation Endpoint preconfigured and ready to use.
