Defining a Trading Partner Agreement
To define a TPA to govern document exchange between your enterprise and 1SYNC, you can duplicate the default TPA and modify the default TPA attributes and parameters.
Note:
If you are going to have only one 1SYNC user account conducting transactions with 1SYNC, you could simply customize the default TPA. However, Software AG recommends that you do not do this. It is a good business practice to keep the default TPA as a back-up and only use the default TPA as a template, regardless of the number of users who require their own distinct way of conducting transactions with 1SYNC.
*To define a Trading Partner Agreement
1. Start the Trading Networks Console.
2. On the View menu, clickAgreements. The Agreements screen appears.
3. Select the Default-1SYNC-TPA, and on the Agreements menu, and click Duplicate. The Agreement Details screen appears.
4. At the top of the screen, modify the TPA attributes as indicated in the following table.

Sender
The name of the trading partner that has the sender role in the TPA, that is, your enterprise.
Select your enterprise name from the Sender list.
Receiver
The name of the trading partner that has the receiver role in the TPA, that is, 1SYNC.
Select the 1SYNC profile name from the Receiver list.
Agreement ID
An application-specific field that uniquely identifies the type of agreement between two partners.
The Agreement ID can be any value.
IS Document Type
The wm.ip.sync.common.rec:TPADataSchema IS document type that specifies the data, or the parameters, that you define in the TPA. You must use the fully qualified name of this IS document type.
You can find the wm.ip.sync.common.rec:TPADataSchema IS document type in the Wm1SYNC package.
Data Status
This field applies only when the Agreement Statusis "Agreed". The data status indicates whether you can update the values for the TPA parameters defined in the IS document type (located in the panel on the lower portion of the Agreement Details screen).
You must set the data status to Non-modifiable because none of the data should be changed during run time.
5. On the right side of the Agreement Details screen, click Set Inputs. The Input for ‘wm.ip.sync.common.rec:TPADataSchema' screen appears.
6. Modify the default TPA parameters, as necessary.
