Exporting PIP Archives
You can create a custom PIP by changing the standard PIP provided by RosettaNet. Note, however, that if you do not save the customized PIP with a different name than the standard, you risk overwriting your customized PIP the next time RosettaNet releases a new version of the standard PIP.
To avoid losing customized PIPs whenever RosettaNet releases new standards, complete the following procedure to export the customized PIP.
*To export a PIP archive from Integration Server
1. In Integration Server Administrator, select Adapters > RosettaNet.
2. On the RosettaNet Management page, select PIP Export to display the Create PIP Export Archive page.
3. Define the PIP archive properties as follows:
a. In File Name, define the file name of the PIP archive, for example, PIP3A4v1_1.par for PIP that was customized from PIP 3A4.
b. In PIP Name, define the name of the PIP, for example, Manage Purchase Order Custom for a PIP customized from PIP 3A4 Manage Purchase Order.
c. In PIP Number, specify the PIP number, for example, 3A4.
d. In PIP Version, specify the PIP version, for example, 1.1.
Note:
The version numbering of the custom PIP should mirror that of the standard PIP. However, subsequent updates to the customized PIP may require diverging from standard PIP version number.
4. Define the Trading Networks properties of the PIP, as follows:
a. In the Select TN Biz Doc Types to Export section, select the check boxes for each of the TN XML document types that you want to include as part of the PIP archive file.
Note:
Select all of the TN XML document types that were included with the standard version of the PIP on which you based this customized version, as well as any new TN XML document types you created for the custom PIP.
b. In the Select TPAs to Export section, select the check boxes for the Trading Partner Agreements (TPAs) that you want to include in the PIP archive file.
5. In the Select PIP Folders to Export section, select each of the PIP Integration Server folders that you want to include in the PIP archive file.
Note:
Select only the PIP Integration Server folders that were included with the standard version of the PIP on which you based this customized version.
6. Click Create Archive.
RosettaNet Module generates a PIP archive file (.par) in the folder Integration Server_directory\packages\WmRosettaNet\export.
