Running the Sample Scenario

This section explains how to run the sample scenario and transport data between the two TPs in the scenario, Atlanta and Berlin.

To Transport Data Between the TPs

This procedure explains how initiate and verify the transport of data between the two TPs. The eXchange Message Tracking feature allows you to verify the success of the data transport operation.

See the eXchange Integrator User's Guide for details on using the File Export, ePM, and Message Tracking features.

1. Make sure you have used the Enterprise Designer Project Explorer to export the data files to a location accessible to eGate and eXchange.

   For more information, see Exporting Sample Files.

2. Make sure that ePM is running.

3. Locate the folder on the machine running the domains, where you have stored the data to be transported, for example:

   C:\temp\eXchange\Sample\AS2\Data

4. To start the message transport operation, rename the .xml.~in data file.

   In the AS2\Data\Atlanta\ folder, rename InputAS2.xml.~in to InputAS2.xml.in. This file points to the payload data file X12_Payload.edi.

5. Check Message Tracking and make sure you view the transported messages, in the View Message pane, on the Message tab.

6. Verify that you are able to view the previous messages in Message Tracking by clicking Open next to “Original Message” and “ACK Message.”

   Make sure you have exchanged several messages before using Message Tracking. If you are able to view any outbound message from Atlanta (Original Message) and MDNs from Berlin (ACK Message), the sample scenario is running correctly and the data transport operation is successful.

Monitoring Messages

The Message Tracking feature and its user interface allow you to monitor ongoing message transport activity.

See Using Message Tracking for information on how to access and this tool and use it with the sample scenario. Figure 6–17 shows an illustration of the Message Tracking user interface.
