10 Managing Trading Partners

Trading Partner Details Page

Both trading partners have a Trading Partner Details page similar to that shown in Figure 10-1. A remote trading partner is shown for this example; the page for the host trading partner differs only in that you cannot manage a certificate; instead a method for managing a wallet password is provided.

You access the Trading Partner Details page by clicking Partners, then Trading Partners, and then trading_partner_name_in_the_Name_column. Four sections display at the top of the Trading Partner Details page: General, Organization, Users, and Capabilities.

Figure 10-1 Trading Partner Details Page

Description of "Figure 10-1 Trading Partner Details Page"

These four sections enable you to access pages from which to perform management tasks. Table 10-1 describes the tasks you can access from these sections and provides references for more details.

Capabilities Page

Clicking Capabilities on the Trading Partner Details page displays the Capabilities page shown in Figure 10-2. This page enables you to manage the business protocol associated with the trading partner and access a page for managing the operational and communication capabilities of the business protocol. The Capabilities page that displays in this example is for a remote trading partner; only business protocols that you have explicitly assigned to the remote trading partner appear. The Capabilities page for a host trading partner displays all business protocols available with OracleAS Integration B2B. This is because the host trading partner is automatically assigned support for all business protocols and operational capabilities. This simplifies the user experience. (See Figure 10-12 for the Capabilities page of the host trading partner.)

Description of "Figure 10-2 Capabilities Page"

See "Managing Trading Partner Business Protocols" for additional details about the Capabilities pages for both host and remote trading partners.

Business Protocol Details Page

Clicking the business protocol name in the Name column in Figure 10-2 (for this example, RosettaNet over RNIF) enables the Business Protocol Details page shown in Figure 10-3 to appear.

Figure 10-3 Business Protocol Details Page

Description of "Figure 10-3 Business Protocol Details Page"

Management tasks on the Business Protocol Details page are divided into two sections: Operational Capabilities and Communication Capabilities. Table 10-2 describes the tasks you can access from these sections and provides references for more details.

The remaining sections of this chapter provide specific details on managing trading partners, support for their business protocols, and the operational and communication capabilities of the business protocols.

10. Create an internal delivery channel in the OracleAS Integration B2B user interface tool.

    
    

    Note: Specific examples are provided for some of the fields of the Create Internal Delivery Channel wizard. You must also provide appropriate values for other fields.

    
    

    1. Select JMS from the Transport Protocol list.

    2. Enter the following endpoint details in the Transport Server section:

       Field	Value	Example
       Username	This value maps to the jms.sender.destination_username property	b2b
       Password	This value maps to the jms.sender.destination_password property	b2b

       
       

    3. Enter appropriate transport parameter values in the Current Value column of the Parameters section.

       Field	Value	Example
       Connection Factory Location	This value maps to jms.sender.jndi_connection_factory_location	java:comp/resource/JMS_b2b/QueueConnectionFactories/qcf
       Factory Provider Properties	This value maps to jms.sender.factory_provider_properties	java.naming.factory.initial=com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory;java.naming.security.credentials=welcome;java.naming.security.principal=admin;java.naming.provider.url=opmn:ormi://144.25.141.184:6004
       Destination Provider Properties	This value maps to jms.sender.destination_provider_properties	java.naming.factory.initial=com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory;java.naming.security.credentials=welcome;java.naming.security.principal=admin;java.naming.provider.url=opmn:ormi://144.25.141.184:6004

       
       

       In the case of the Factory Provider Properties field, specify the java.naming.provider.url value based on the OC4J status:

       If OC4J Is a...	Then...
       Standalone installation	The value takes the form: ormi://myhost:1089, where 1089 is the RMI port in the rmi.xml file.
       Middle-tier installation	The value takes the form: opmn:ormi://myhost:6004, where 6004 is the request port defined in Oracle_Home/opmn/conf/opmn.xml.

       
       

    4. Enter the name of the destination location in the URI field of the Endpoints section. This maps to the jms.sender.jndi_destination_location property. For example:

       java:comp/resource/JMS_b2b/Queues/B2B_JMS_INQUEUE
       
       

       where JMS_b2b is the resource provider defined in application.xml and B2B_JMS_INQUEUE is the name of the JMS queue.

       
       

       Note: Do not prefix this value with jms://; this is automatically added.
