Process

2. GDS CORE then passes on the data to the JPR layer for outbound processing
3. The JPR layer then sends the message to PI using a JAVA proxy call
4. PI transforms the data from an MT_TradeltemExport message to a CatalogueRequest
5. The CatalogueRequest message is sent to the 1 sync data pool server via AS2 adapter.
