Defining a Partner-Specific EDITPA When Using TRADACOMS
You only need to create partner-specific EDITPAs if you have one or more sender/receiver pairs that require settings that are different from those you specify in the default EDITPA. When creating a partner-specific EDITPA, you have to specify only the information that is different from the defaults. Define partner-specific EDITPAs for transmission-level sender/receiver pairs.
Note: You can disable partner-specific EDITPAs. When you disable a partner-specific EDITPA, Module for EDI functions as if the partner-specific EDITPA does not exist. That is, Module for EDI uses the values in the default EDITPA.
You create a partner-specific EDITPA using My webMethods. You can create a partner-specific EDITPA in one of the following three ways:
Duplicate the default EDITPA and change variable values
Duplicate another similar partner-specific EDITPA and change variable values
Create an EDITPA from scratch
For instructions on how to create TPAs, see the webMethods Trading Networks Administrator’s Guide for your release.
When creating a partner-specific EDITPA, specify the following on the Administration > Integration > B2B > Trading Partner Agreements page:
For this field... | Specify... |
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. |
Agreement ID | EDITPA |
IS Document Type | wm.b2b.editn.TPA:EDITPA To set the values for the variables in wm.b2b.editn.TPA:EDITPA, see the description of the variables in TRADACOM Variables. |
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.) It is recommended 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. |
