A ProfileRequest is a document that a buyer sends to a supplier to find out what kind of cXML request transactions that the supplier accepts. Upon receiving a ProfileRequest, the supplier must return a ProfileResponse indicating which cXML transactions he supports.

The Ariba Supplier OnRamp package includes a default ProfileRequest handler that dynamically queries the Configuration Module for the list of handlers currently registered, and returns a list of transactions current supported. For more information, see pub.ariba.supplier.handlerImpl:defaultProfileRequestHandler.

To set the default ProfileRequest handler

1. In the Ariba Supplier OnRamp Configuration screen, click the Add Handler button in thecXML Request Document Handling section of the page. The Handler Configuration screen appears.

2. Click the Set To Default Handler button.

The default ProfileRequest handler is set to pub.ariba.supplier.handlerImpl:defaultProfileRequestHandler.

Note:
Make sure that you have the Document Receive Service parameters set in Config, as described in " Configuring cXML OrderRouting on Ariba SN. The defaultProfileRequestHandler uses these parameters to construct a URL to which the handled cXML request should be HTTP posted.
