Categories of Configurable Properties

There are three categories of configurable parameter properties in ePM, as follows:

• Business Protocol

• Delivery Protocol

• Transport

In general, the parameters under Business Protocols allow you to configure data payload-related operations within your business, if you are using a business protocol-type PM. Generally, parameters under Delivery Protocols determine data unrelated to message payloads (for example, security) if you are using a delivery protocol-type PM. Parameters under Transports are directly related to eXchange and remain the same regardless of which PM or type of PM you are using.

See the eXchange Integrator User’s Guide for more information on configuring Business Protocol, Delivery Protocol, and Transport parameters.

Locate the current B2B Host or TP in ePM Explorer, by clicking the B2B Host Configuration or Trading Partner Configuration tab. The B2B Host acts as a top-level “parent” component that supplies all default parameter properties to the components under it, including the TP. These components include Action Groups and Transaction Profiles.
