Managing partner connections Partner connections are the mechanism that enables the system to process and route documents between the internal partner and its various partners. Connections contain the information necessary for the proper exchange of each document type including RosettaNet Trading Partner Agreement attributes, transport protocol, document processing action, operation mode, and partner destination. A document cannot be routed unless a connection exists between the internal partner and one of its partners. The system automatically creates connections between the internal partners and external partners based on their B2B capabilities.

The configuration of each connection can be modified to fit the needs of the hub community. Connection components Individual connections are composed of four components: v Attributes v Action v Destination v Operation Mode Once the system creates a connection, all four components can be modified to tailor its routing and processing functionality. Table 7 describes each component. Table 7. Manage partner components Component Description Attributes Attributes are the information the connection uses for various document processing and routing functions such as validation, checking for encryption, and retry count. Action Destination To increase the efficiency when creating connections, the attributes for a new connection are inherited from the B2B capabilities of the partners automatically. Action is the sequence of steps the system uses to process a particular document. Each connection typically consists of one or more steps, including transformation, duplicate check, validation, or passthrough routing. You can select the appropriate action for each connection. Each connection contains a destination and a return destination. The return destination contains the URI and transport information of the partner initiating a document flow. Business signals such as receipt acknowledgments and general exceptions are sent to the initiating partner through the return destination. The destination options Validate Client IP and Validate Client SSL Cert apply to the return destination. Operation Mode The destination contains the URI and transport information of the partner receiving a document type. Operation Mode identifies the nature of a document being exchanged. A connection can contain multiple operation modes to accommodate the routing and processing of the same document to more than one system. This improves connection efficiency by multiplying the use of a single connection for production, test, or routing to multiple systems within one organization. 54 IBM WebSphere Partner Gateway Enterprise and Advanced Editions: Administration Guide

Managing partner connections

Partner connections are the mechanism that enables the system to process and

route documents between the internal partner and its various partners.

Connections contain the information necessary for the proper exchange of each

document type including RosettaNet Trading Partner Agreement attributes,

transport protocol, document processing action, operation mode, and partner

destination. A document cannot be routed unless a connection exists between the

internal partner and one of its partners.

The system automatically creates connections between the internal partners and

external partners based on their B2B capabilities. The data typed in the B2B

Capabilities module of the Community Console determines the functionality of

each available connection. The configuration of each connection can be modified to

fit the needs of the hub community.

Connection components

Individual connections are composed of four components:

Attributes

Action

Destination

Operation Mode

Once the system creates a connection, all four components can be modified to

tailor its routing and processing functionality. Table7 describes each component.

Table 7. Manage partner components

Component

Description

Attributes

Attributes are the information the connection uses for various document

processing and routing functions such as validation, checking for

encryption, and retry count.

To increase the efficiency when creating connections, the attributes for a

new connection are inherited from the B2B capabilities of the partners

automatically.

Action

Action is the sequence of steps the system uses to process a particular

document. Each connection typically consists of one or more steps,

including transformation, duplicate check, validation, or passthrough

routing. You can select the appropriate action for each connection.

Destination

Each connection contains a destination and a return destination. The return

destination contains the URI and transport information of the partner

initiating a document flow. Business signals such as receipt

acknowledgments and general exceptions are sent to the initiating partner

through the return destination. The destination options Validate Client IP

and Validate Client SSL Cert apply to the return destination.

The destination contains the URI and transport information of the partner

receiving a document type.

Operation

Mode

Operation Mode identifies the nature of a document being exchanged. A

connection can contain multiple operation modes to accommodate the

routing and processing of the same document to more than one system.

This improves connection efficiency by multiplying the use of a single

connection for production, test, or routing to multiple systems within one

organization.
