Setting Up The XML Gateway

This chapter covers the following topics:

Setting Up The XML Gateway

To set up the XML gateway to send and receive transactions for Price protection, you must define the trading partner. You need to select the DPP transaction type and the three seeded transaction Sub types of TXNI (Inbound Transaction), and APPI (Inbound Approval transaction) and APRO(Outbound Approval request transaction).

The basic procedure is described here, for additional information, please refer to the Oracle XML Gateway User's Guide.

To receive XML notifications, set up the ECX: System Administrator E-mail Address system profile.

To send an Approval Outbound transaction for a supplier through XML gateway, you must set the Approval Communication option to XML Gateway on the Supplier Trade Profiles page.

To set up a trading partner

  1. Navigate to the XML Gateway responsibility.

  2. Click Define Trading Partners. The Trading Partner Setup window displays.

    • DPP_APPROVAL_TXN_OUT - Outbound Approval transaction

    • ECX_CBODO_OAG72_OUT_CONFIRM Confirmation Message

  11. Enter the Source Trading Partner Location Code. This is the party site ID/location code of the party. Use this to enter the party site ID while sending data using XML Gateway.

  12. Select a Document Confirmation. Select this value based on what level of confirmation the trading partner requires for receiving all inbound and outbound messages.

    • 0: Never send a confirmation

    • 2: Always send a confirmation

Guidelines

Transaction Type is the standard product short code for the base Oracle Application. These values are defined in the Define Transactions window. The list of values displays the available combinations of Transaction Type, Transaction Subtype, Standard Code, External Transaction Type, External Transaction Subtype, and Direction. Select the desired combination. These values are only used internally to connect to the XML Gateway.

The XML Gateway execution engine de-queues the inbound data and processes it. Once the processing completes successfully, the transaction is created or updated with approval details if it is an approval transaction.

If there is any data processing error for data received as an inbound XML message, a notification email is sent to the email address setup in the profile value ECX: System Administrator Email Address informing the cause of the error.

If there is a system error, then the System Administrator is notified of the error.
