Configuring
You will need to configure B2B Advanced Communications for your specific needs. You can configure many items including receivers, exchanges, certificates, thread pools, licenses, and storage.
- Configuring system properties
An installation of B2B Advanced Communications includes system properties that help create the operating environment for the different components of B2B Advanced Communications. - Configuring organizations
Organizations identify the parties that exchange documents. Organizations are either one or more owner organizations that run B2B Advanced Communications or one or more partner organizations that exchange documents with an owner organization. - Configuring receivers
In B2B Advanced Communications, receivers are configurable components that are used to receive messages from trading partners and internally to receive messages from the business application. - Configuring destinations
In B2B Advanced Communications, destinations are configurable resources that are used to send messages to the trading partner and receive (pull) messages from the trading partner. Internal messaging destinations are used to send messages to the business application. - Configuring AS2 exchange profiles
An exchange profile defines how information is exchanged with a trading partner, and internally how it is transferred. An exchange profile defines the participating organizations - an owner organization and a trading partner, receivers, destinations, security policies, connections settings, and security settings. - Configuring AS2 security policies
Security policies establish guidelines to govern and ensure secure partner communications via AS2. You can create, update, and remove AS2 security policies. - Configuring AS4 exchange profiles
An exchange profile contains the necessary information needed by a owner organization and a trading partner organization to facilitate the exchange of messages between them. - Configuring custom AS4 conformance policies
By configuring a custom AS4 conformance policy you can define such parameters as security, error and receipt handling, and notifications. - Configuring SFTP exchange profiles
An exchange profile facilitates the exchange of data between a sender organization and a receiving organization. An exchange profile also defines the participating organizations (owner organization and trading partner), receivers, destinations, and connections and security settings. An SFTP exchange profile facilitates an exchange across an SFTP protocol. - Configuring RESTful HTTP or HTTPS exchange profiles
An exchange profile facilitates the exchange of data between a sender organization and a receiver organization. A RESTful HTTP or HTTPS exchange profile facilitates the exchange of data using HTTP or HTTPS as the transport protocol. - Configuring default account credentials
An installation of B2B Advanced Communications includes two default user accounts: a master account administrator account (maccountadmin) and a system administrator account (sysadmin). - Configuring digital certificates
A digital certificate is a set of electronic data that uniquely identifies an organization. The certificate contains a public key for the organization, and is digitally signed by a trusted party to bind the public key to the organization. - Configuring transport servers for exchange profiles
When you configure a receiver or a destination in an exchange profile, the configuration includes a server that uses either the HTTP, HTTPS, or SFTP transport protocol. - Configuring SSH keys
SSH keys enable identification between an SFTP client and SFTP server with SSH public key authentication. Use SSH Keys to add and configure SSH keys. - Configuring internal message queues
You can configure the internal message queues in B2B Advanced Communications. - Configuring storage
You need to configure storage in B2B Advanced Communications according to your needs and environment. - Configuring thread pools
B2B Advanced Communications uses thread pools to manage concurrent tasks. A thread pool is a group of pre-instantiated, idle threads that stand ready to receive work. - Configuring user exits
User exits can override the default AS4 process flows by calling external programs during the message flow. - Configuring B2B Advanced Communications integration module
You can enable communications between B2B Advanced Communications and Sterling B2B Integrator for document processing. - Configuring retry policies
A retry policy defines the options and course of action that the system takes when a message must be retransmitted to a partner or a target service. - Configuring majority quorum
WebSphere eXtreme Scale supports majority quorum for the catalog members that are used in B2B Advanced Communications environments. You can enable majority quorum for a truly highly available and robust system. - Configuring licenses
B2B Advanced Communications uses Aspera to rapidly transfer large files and data sets with predictable, reliable, and secure delivery regardless of file size, transfer distance, and network conditions. - Configuring a virtual file system
The virtual file system serves as an interface that gives B2B Advanced Communications access to different types of file systems and local and network storage devices. The virtual file system manages the data storage and retrieval between the operating system and the storage subsystem, and maintains a cache of directory lookups so frequently accessed directories can be easily located. When you use a virtual file system, each trading partner can only view the directories and files specific to their credentials.
