Before you can use a TP, you must configure its associated parameters specifically for eXchange, AS2 PM, and your B2B operation, using ePM. Figure 4–2 shows an example of the ePM window as it first appears, with the B2B Host Configuration tab opened.
The ePM window has the following major divisions:
ePM Explorer: Left pane
ePM Canvas: Right pane
You configure your AS2 PM Projects under the following tabs in ePM:
B2B Host Configuration
Trading Partner Configuration
Figure 4–2 shows these tabs in the ePM window. Under B2B Host Configuration in ePM Explorer, double-click the Repository name to open the Host Explorer tree. This tree graphic displays icons that allow you to configure properties of the B2B Host.
The following icons offer you sets of properties, according to the icon names, as listed in the Host Explorer tree in ePM Explorer:
Business Protocols
Delivery Protocols
Transports
Transaction Profiles
Private keys
Contacts
Schedules
Configuration parameters for your AS2 PM Projects are located under the Business Protocols, Delivery Protocols, and Transports categories of properties. See Categories of Configurable Properties for a description of these categories.
Each set of ePM parameters contains the following parameter types:
General eXchange parameters common to all PMs, for example, Transports
AS2 PM-specific parameters provided only by this PM
For Delivery Protocols, additional security-related parameters
This book contains a sample implementation scenario with specific ePM settings configured. Refer to this sample scenario for explanatory ePM implementation examples.
The rest of this chapter explains the available parameters specific to AS2 PM and security properties configuration, as well as how to set them.
