Establishing trade links

Establishing trade links is automated by two wizards that guide you through the process, to ensure that the resulting link provides a logical connection.

The Trade Link Add Wizard helps you define the trade link in the database. The EDI Wizard is used for X12 and EDIFACT trade links. This wizard operates on messages that you define, to produce the correct type tree for the correct version and release of the standard for the Message Manager. The EDI Wizard produces two copies of the e-commerce type tree: one tree used by the Message Manager and another tree that is available for your use in application maps.
