Partner Profile XML Setup
The Partner Profile XML file is a configuration file in an XML format. The Partner Profile XML is used by the OFTPPartnerManager command line tool for mass importing, exporting, or deleting OFTP Partner Profiles into/from an Odette FTP Profile database.
The Partner Profile consists of the following:
- A General Parameters section that contains the mandatory field, PartnerProfileVersion. PartnerProfileVersion is used to identify changes in the Partner Profile, such as added, removed, or changed fields or XML structures. The services and adapters check to ensure they can read the partner profile. The default value is version 3.0.
- Physical Partners and Physical Partner Contracts that are specified in one or more PhysicalPartnerSpec targets. A PhysicalPartnerContract consists of the local and the remote physical partner that are used to establish the OFTP communication link between the two physical partners, in addition to other data.
- Logical Partners and Logical Partner Contracts that are specified
in one or more LogicalPartnerSpec targets. A LogicalPartnerContract
contains the following information, in addition to other data:
- The OriginatorLogicalPartner
- The DestinationLogicalPartner
- PhysicalPartnerContract (inbound and/or outbound)
The LogicalPartnerContract is the entry point for all ongoing Odette FTP communication. The LogicalPartnerContract references all corresponding logical partner information and the PhysicalPartnerContracts.
