This documentation describes how to modify the multi-partner
type tree for the first partner.
To modify the multi-partner tree for the
first partner, follow these procedures:
- From the Edit menu,
choose Replace.
The Replace dialog
box appears.
- In the Find what field,
enter Partner.
- In the Replace with field,
enter the name of a partner you are trading with.
As an example, if you are trading with CompanyA.
You rename each Partner type with the name CompanyA.
- Enable the Match whole word only check
box.
This option ensures that only the
types that are named Partner are changed, and
not any other type where the word Partner is
part of a different type name (for example, ISAPartnerInfo).
- Click Replace All.
- After the type names are replaced, click Close.
Each occurrence of the type Partner is
replaced by the new type name, CompanyA in
this example.
- Enter appropriate inbound ISA control information
for each trading partner.
Note: When you create a multi-partner
tree, you need to specify each partner's unique sender/receiver identification
information in a component rule.
To enter this information use one of these
methods:
- Assign the values in the component rule
- Use the DDEQUERY function
to request the information from Trading Partner PC
- Use the RUN or EXIT function
in a component rule to get the information
The identification-related ISA control information
is needed in order to distinguish between multiple partners in the
same type tree.
