Creating Trading Partner Agreements (TPAs) for AS3 Support
 
Creating a new TPA
A Trading Partner Agreement (TPA) in Trading Networks is a set of parameters that you can use to govern how documents are exchanged between two trading partners. One partner fulfills the sender role during document exchange, and the other partner fulfills the receiver role. Both the sender and receiver in a TPA must be a partner who has an existing profile in your Trading Networks system.
Each TPA must specify a unique combination of the following:
*A partner that represents the originator of a send or retrieve operation.
*The partner of the originator.
*The Agreement ID (the type of the TPA). To support EDIINT AS3 message exchange, use the predefined Agreement ID EDIINTAS3.
You might have multiple TPAs for a pair of trading partners. For example, if PartnerA is the originator of a send or retrieve operation, you would define the following TPA:
For this TPA field...

Sender
PartnerB
Receiver
PartnerA
Agreement ID (type of TPA)

Conversely, if PartnerB is the originator of a send or retrieve operation, you would define the following TPA:
For this TPA field...
Specify...

Receiver
