Partner Profiles
A partner profile holds details about a corporation such as identities, connections, certificates, contacts, and addresses.
Partners can send and receive documents to IBM® webMethods B2B for processing. After processing documents using processing rules, the business documents are delivered as defined in the processing rule.
In IBM webMethods B2B, users associated with the partner are the entities that authenticate a document exchange.
To create a partner profile, you must minimally define an identity for that partner. An identity primarily identifies a partner in IBM webMethods B2B. The combination of identity type and identity value must always be unique for a partner.
You can add as many partner profiles as you want. IBM recommends that you keep this information up to date.
IBM webMethods B2B does not process or utilize any personal information (email ID, role, address, telephone details and so on) for any purpose.
Partner Users
IBM webMethods B2B accepts and processes the documents from a partner only if it has a user associated with it. The user credentials of a partner user are used to authenticate a business document exchange in IBM webMethods B2B.
