Advanced Trading Partner Profile
Sterling B2B Integrator offers an
advanced trading profile set-up option that includes separate records for identity, transport,
document exchange, delivery channel, packaging, and profile.
Identity Record
An identity record describes the trading partner and contains information that is referenced when a business process is run that involves the trading partner.
Transport Record
The transport record describes the document delivery protocol. It identifies the protocol, such as HTTP, FTP, or SMTP.
Document Exchange Record
A document exchange record describes the properties of the documents and messages passed between trading partners.
Delivery Channel Record
A delivery channel record eliminates reentry of document exchange information for every transport protocol.
Packaging Record
A packaging record provides details about protocol-specific security, and envelope fields like a MIME content type or an XML namespace.
Profile Record
A profile record is a type of document exchange record that links a delivery channel record and a packaging record to a business process. A profile links a delivery channel and packaging records of a trading partner to a business process.
