Modifying the multi-partner tree

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:

  1. From the Edit menu, choose Replace.

    The Replace dialog box appears.

  2. In the Find what field, enter Partner.
  3. 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.

  4. 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).

  5. Click Replace All.
  6. 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.

  7. 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.
