6 Installing and Configuring EDI Gateway

This chapter describes the steps required to install and configure the Axway Synchrony EDI Gateway so it can operate correctly with Interchange. This chapter includes instructions on the following topics:


Note:

You can install EDI Gateway and Interchange Service in any order.

Creating an Axway Synchrony Database Instance

Use the following procedure to create an Axway Synchrony database instance.

To create a database instance for Axway Synchrony:

  1. Log on to the database server as an Admin user.

  2. Create a blank Axway Synchrony instance, if it does not already exist.

  3. Connect to the Axway Synchrony Instance created in Step 2.

  4. Create an Axway Synchrony DB User identified by the Axway Synchrony DB password.

  5. Provide the following grants to the Axway Synchrony DB user:

    • Grant CREATE PROCEDURE

    • Grant CREATE SESSION

    • Grant CREATE TABLE

    • Grant CREATE VIEW

    • Grant UNLIMITED TABLESPACE (Optional)

    • Grant CREATE SEQUENCE

    • Alter user Axway Synchrony DB User default tablespace USERS.

    • Grant connect, resource, unlimited tablespace to Axway Synchrony DB User.

  6. Log in to cyclone schema and create the following indexes to improve the interface performance between Argus Interchange and Cyclone:

    • create index fbi_mes_confilename on messageeventsnapshots (direction, upper(consumptionfilename));

    • create index fbi_mes_coreid on messageeventsnapshots (upper(coreid), messageid)

Installing Axway Synchrony Interchange

Before starting and configuring Axway Synchrony Interchange, you must install Axway Interchange. For more information, see the Axway Interchange installation documentation.
