webMethods Trading Networks(TN)

Trading Networks enables your enterprise to link with whom you want to exchange business documents using 1SYNC, thereby forming a business-to-business trading network. During design time, you define your trading partner profiles in the Trading Networks Console. The profiles contain the information that Trading Networks needs to exchange business documents between you and 1SYNC.

In addition to defining profiles for your enterprise and for 1SYNC during design time, you also can define your own trading partner agreements (TPAs) in the Trading Networks Console.

You also can view the TN XML document types that are provided with the 1SYNC.

The TPAs and TN XML document types (request, response, and notification) are created in Trading Networks when you install the 1SYNC.

For more information about Trading Networks, trading partner profiles, TN XML document types, and TPAs, see the webMethods Trading Networks Administrator’s Guide for your release. You also can find information about trading partner profiles in Defining Trading Partner Profiles in Trading Networks and information about TPAs in Defining a Trading Partner Agreement.

Trading Networks Database

Trading Networks saves trading partner profile, TN document types, and TPA information, among other things, to its database and retrieves this information when needed.
