OTM system can generate outbound XML data for any business object like ‘Order Release’, ‘Shipment’ etc either manually(using Send Interface Transmission action) or programmatically using same action from OTM Agent(workflow). We will discuss about OTM Agents in further posts.

For generating outbound XMLs from OTM you may follow below steps:

1. Define an Out XML profile.

Business Process Automation > Power Data > Integration > Out XML Profiles.

Standard OTM XML for any object might have lot of data that might not be necessary or relevant to send it to the external systems. Also the file size for a complete XML would be in MB( for example Shipment XML might be 2 MB). In order to avoid generation of huge files and to control what data we generate in outbound XML we need to define an Out XML profile.
