Use Rest APIs as bulk file transfer mechanism. APIs to be shared with partners so they can push bulk files directly to B2B mailbox

    • Partners to push bulk files/messages directly to the mailbox

    • Will be use like B2B Liberty API’s whereby partners will have to authenticate and then they should be able to do a basic upload “POST” to upload a file with a single http request. The API should also cater for Multiple file uploads in a single http request.
