Defining a Partner-Specific EDITPA
You only need to create partner-specific EDITPAs when you have one or more sender/receiver pairs that require different settings from those you defined in the default EDITPA. When creating a partner-specific EDITPA, specify only the information that is different from the default EDITPA. Define partner-specific EDITPAs for interchange-level sender/receiver pairs.
Using My webMethods, you can create a partner-specific EDITPA in one of the following ways:
*Duplicate the default EDITPA and change variable values
*Duplicate a similar partner-specific EDITPA and change variable values
*Create an EDITPA from scratch
For instructions about how to create TPAs (either by duplication or from scratch), see the webMethods Trading Networks Administrator’s Guide for your release.
When creating a partner-specific EDITPA, specify the following fields on the Administration > Integration > B2B > Trading Partner Agreements > Trading Partner Agreement Details page:
Field
Description
Agreement ID
EDITPA
Sender
The name of the sender from the partner-specific sender/receiver pair.
Receiver
The name of the receiver from the partner-specific sender/receiver pair.
Control Number
The value that the application using the TPA expects (only relevant if the application uses the Control Number field).
The value for this field must be an integer. The default is zero (0).
Description
(Optional) A description for the TPA. You can use up to 1024 characters of any type.
Data Status
Whether to modify the values of the TPA data of the IS document type. This field only applies when the agreement status is Agreed.
Initialization Service
A service that you created to define the default values for the wm.b2b.editn.TPA:EDITPA IS document type. (Or, leave this field blank.)
Software AG recommends that you do not use the initialization service ( wm.b2b.editn.TPA:initService) that is provided with Module for EDI. The wm.b2b.editn.TPA:initService service is used to populate the values of the default EDITPA.
Validation Service
(Optional) A service to validate the TPA. For more information about the validation service, see the webMethods Trading Networks Administrator’s Guide for your release.
Export Service
The service to convert the data in the Trading Networks TPA to an industry-format trading partner agreement. For more information about the export service, see the webMethods Trading Networks Administrator’s Guide for your release.
IS Document Type
wm.b2b.editn.TPA:EDITPA
For information about setting values for the wm.b2b.editn.TPA:EDITPA variables, see wm.b2b.editn.TPA:EDITPA IS Document Type.
Note: You can disable partner-specific EDITPAs. When you disable a partner-specific EDITPA, Module for EDI uses the values in the default EDITPA.
Note: When you are using non-standard processing, define partner-specific EDITPAs for group-level sender/receiver pairs. For more information, see Defining a Partner-Specific EDITPA When Using Non-Standard Processing. For more information about the difference between standard and non-standard processing, see Defining a Partner-Specific EDITPA When Using Non-Standard Processing.
