Mailboxes and File Gateway in IBM Sterling B2B Integrator: One Layer, Not Two Products

The confusion I flagged back in Part 1 # I called this out in Part 1 and promised to come back to it: File Gateway is not a separate product competing with B2Bi. It’s a purpose-built UI and routing layer sitting directly on top of B2Bi’s mailbox and adapter machinery, built specifically so partner file exchange can be managed without anyone touching BPML directly. I still see people who’ve run Sterling for years talk about the two as if they’re alternatives you choose between. They’re not — one is the foundation, the other is a way of working with that foundation without writing a Business Process by hand.
