Services that Support Document Tracking

Every activity that occurs in a Sterling B2B Integrator business process is carried out by a service.

This section describes the services and adapters that support document tracking, including:

  • Document Tracking Service
  • Other Services that Support Document Tracking
  • Adapters that Support Document Tracking

Document Tracking Service

The Document Tracking Service enables you to define correlation name-value pairs to gather additional tracking data about documents. When you create or edit a business process, you can include the Document Tracking Service at appropriate points in the business process to define additional tracking data that Sterling B2B Integrator gathers about a document (or a family of documents) by perpetuating the document information through the document’s life cycle rather than in just one business process.
