In My webMethods, go to Application > Administration > Integration > B2B > Partner Profiles > Add Profile and set the following required fields to define your partner's profile.
Required Profile Field for Trading Partner
Description
Corporation Name
The name of your partner’s enterprise.
For information about identifying a trading partner from the fields in the message header, see Identifying a Trading Partner.
Unit Name
Optional. Specify the name of your unit.
External IDs > Add ID
The value for the external ID type that your partner uses within documents.
When exchanging documents, partners typically identify themselves within a document using some well-known ID scheme, such as a D-U-N-S number. You must select one of the ID Types available in the Trading Networks database, and then specify the value that identifies your partner's enterprise for that ID type.
Delivery Settings > Add Delivery Method
Specify the delivery method that you want Trading Networks to use to send HL7 messages to your partner's system.
You must specify at least one delivery method as your preferred method by selecting the Use as preferred protocol check box. If you do not specify a preferred delivery method in Trading Networks, HL7 Module will not be able to determine how to send and receive the HL7 messages.
You can specify any of the transport protocols that HL7 Module supports. For more information about the supported protocols, see Configuring Communication Protocols.
For procedural information about defining a trading partner profile, as well as descriptions of the fields you must complete when defining a trading partner profile, see the webMethods Trading Networks Administrator’s Guide for your release.
