How the B2B Lookup Service Works

The B2B Lookup service uses B2B Contract ID and B2B Message Mode as parameters defined within a business process.

The B2B Lookup service:
  1. Retrieves the profile associated with the contract and message mode. Depending on the B2B Message Mode, the B2B Lookup service performs one of the following actions:
    • If the B2B Message Mode is Respond, the service uses the production (sending) profile of the contract.
    • If the B2B Message Mode is Send, the service uses the consumption (receiving) profile of the contract.
    • If the B2B Message Mode is Request-response, the service uses the production (sending) profile of the contract.
  2. Retrieves the business process referenced in the transport record associated with the contract.
