Before Using ePM

Before you begin, it is recommended that you do all the procedures given in the previous sections of this chapter. Also, your Integration Server, Repository, and Logical Host must be running. Also, your LDAP system and eXchange database (Oracle) must be running and accessible. However, Enterprise Designer does not need to be running.

For a general description of the outbound and inbound messaging ToPartner and FromPartner model used by ePM, see ToPartner and FromPartner Messaging Model .

You must do the procedures given under Running ePM to run ePM. In addition, after you run ePM, it is recommended that you do the procedures given under Importing B2B Hosts and Importing TPs.

For more detailed information on configuring ePM, see Chapter 4, Configuring AS2 PM.

Exporting the Necessary ePM Files

The ePM export files for security, B2B Hosts, and TPs are located in Project Explorer under eXchange, as follows:

• ePMImport > AS2 > Hosts > envA_AS2.exp and envB_AS2.exp

• epMImport > AS2 > SecurityKeys > CompanyA-Cert.der and CompanyA-Key.p12

• ePMImport > AS2 > TP_Profiles > envA_AS2_TP_Berlin.exp and envB_AS2_TP_Atlanta.exp

For more information, see Exporting ePM Files. It is recommended that you set up a folder structure to contain these files, which reflects this organization, for example:

C:\temp\eXchange\Sample\AS2\TP_Profiles

For more information on how to use ePM, including the ePM window and its features, see the eXchange Integrator User’s Guide.
