About this task

To define how to build and package outbound messages to your PIDX trading partner, you must create a packaging record.

Note: You must create a Packaging record to support SIGNING and/or ENCRYPTION (and supply this information while creating the Profile record).

To create a packaging record:

Procedure

  1. From the Trading Partner menu, select Setup > Advanced > Packaging.
  2. Next to Create New Packaging, click Go!
  3. In the Information page, complete the following fields and click Next:
    Field
    Description
    Name
    Name for the packaging record to create for this PIDX trading partner. Required.
    Note: You may use part of a company name or DUNS in this field or use an indicator that references PIDX.
    Message Parsable
    Whether the message can be parsed. Ensure that No is selected from this field. Required for PIDX.
  4. In the Packaging Settings page, complete the following fields and click Next:
    Field
    Description
    Payload Type
    Payload type that describes the message format for transporting documents. Required for PIDX.

    Valid values are:

    • Plain Text – Payload is not signed and it is not encrypted.
    • Signed Detached – Payload is signed with a detached signature for RNIF v1.1 and v02.00 messages.
    • Encrypted – Payload is encrypted according to the EDIINT specifications.
    • Signed Detached Encrypted – Payload is signed with a detached signature and then encrypted for RNIF v02.00 messages.
    MIME Type
    Select Application from this field. Required for PIDX.
    MIME Sub Type
    Select XML from this field. Required for PIDX.
    Compress Data
    Whether to compress inbound and outbound messages, according to the ability of each trading partner to decompress and extract messages. Required for PIDX.

    Valid values (specific to PIDX v02.00 and higher) are:

    • None – Do not compress messages
    • Low – Low message compression
    • Medium – Medium message compression
    • High – Compress all messages
    • Default – default value
    Note: When specifying a value in this field, consider that the value applies to all inbound and outbound messages, regardless of the message sizes. If you choose to specify the value None and you encounter a large inbound or outbound message that you want to compress, you can return to this packaging record and edit the record, specifying High in this field.
  5. Click Finish to add the packaging record.
