Summary of the Configuration Steps
After you install Trading Networks, you must perform the following high-level steps to configure Trading Networks.
Note: Command Central allows you to configure Trading Networks server properties. See Using Command Central to Manage Trading Networks
1. Add an Trading Networks instance to My webMethods Server if the Integration Server that hosts Trading Networks is running on a machine other than localhost on port 5555.
2. Replace the default SSL certificate for Trading Networks instances used in production environments if you are using ActiveTransfer Server along with Trading Networks.
3. Set up the central user management in My webMethods Server.
4. Create server ports and configure settings for specific Trading Networks instances.
5. Create an enterprise profile.
6. Create partner profiles for partners in Trading Networks to exchange business documents. Import or onboard partners as necessary. See Creating Profiles
7. Grant access permissions to partners, and other non-administrator users access to specific assets in My webMethods Server user interface. See Granting Access to Trading Networks
8. Define custom attributes to recognize documents and set the preferred delivery method for each of the partners. See Create Custom Attributes
9. Install appropriate eStandards Modules to enable document exchange between partners.
10. Define document types. The two default document types available for document exchange are XML and flat file types. See Creating XML Document Types and Creating Flat File Document Types.
11. If there are specific attributes which need special processing, you can enhance the processing of the document by creating a new rule or modifying it instead of using the default processing rule. See Creating Processing Rules
12. Define or customize Trading Partner Agreements. See Working with TPAs
13. Identify assets. See Asset Definition
14. Define jobs that, when triggered, cause Trading Networks to perform a specified set of actions. These events ensure the continuous exchange of business documents.
15. Monitor Trading Networks transactions by searching, viewing, and troubleshooting failed transactions.
16. Perform asset migration activities. See Migrating Assets
17. Import, export, or deploy assets across environments. See the webMethods Deployer User’s Guide for more information.
18. Create dashboards and perform analytics. See Working with Dashboards and Charts
19. Perform administrator activities such as:
*Manage caching. See Caching Assets and Query Results
*Define parameters to handle large documents. See Large Document Handling
*Manage security. See Security
*Manage database partitioning. See Partitioning Trading Networks Database
*Manage document delivery. See Document Delivery
*Perform document archival and deletion. See Archiving and Deleting Documents
*Exchange business documents by associating Trading Networks with an webMethods API Gateway instance. See Managing Partner Access to APIs
After completing these activities, Trading Networks configuration is complete. You can monitor transactions using the Activity Log.
