Trading Manager uses a relational database to store information about trading partners, routing instructions, access privileges, document tracking and trading relationships. A sample Microsoft Access database is included with the Partner Manager installation.

In this exercise you will create an ODBC DataSource for the Trading Manager sample database and define the database in Partner Manager.

The following file is required for this exercise:

tmgrnn.mdb

 This is the sample Trading Manager database. You will find this file in: C:\install_dir\<tmgr_vn.n>\pmgr

Note: Throughout this tutorial install_dir, is used to refer to the current install directory of your IBM WebSphere Transformation Extender software and n.n refers to the current version of Trading Manager.
