A published process can have a document as parameter, but this is just a document ID and not an actual file. This means that one way to go is what Rahul suggested. Have the other application send you the XML text as text and not as a file.

For receiving the files you can create a batch process that will run at a scheduled time to fetch the files. Files can be retrieved through SFTP smart services. Please go through the below links

I don't think, that we can get the document through this methodology. In one of my projects, third party application sending the one document data as text and in Appian using functions we are parsed the data.

my use case is like that i want to fetch a xml file from an third party interface and this third party interface wants us to give them a webservice , so that they can send us their file. I just want to know whether by exposing process model as an webservice , can we actually fetch the xml file or not in to appian?

Maybe you elaborate a bit on your use case. You can also create some kind of call back. So the other system would call your process and the process would fetch the file from some system. Depends on how the file can be accessed.

Hi Sparshs, We publish a process model as a web service. Go though the below link to know how to do this. forum.appian.com/.../Publishing_Process_Models_as_Web_Services.html

You can publish a process as a web service. When you define a parameter pv of type document it should do what you want. But it depends a bit on the size of the XML file you want to receive. A file of several MB will be a problem.
