Using This Tutorial

This chapter provides a tutorial for the ASC X12 PM sample implementation scenario and detailed procedures that describe how to construct, run, and monitor the sample, which employs the Atlanta and Berlin Companies described in Chapter 5, Quick Start for ASC X12 PM.

Quick Start and Tutorial Approaches

See Using the Quick Start Procedures for detailed instructions on how to use the quick-start and tutorial approaches to implementing the sample scenario. In summary, the instructions are:

• You can use Chapter 5, Quick Start for ASC X12 PM for a quick, general overview of the basic setup steps needed to import, set up, run, and monitor the sample ASC X12 PM eXchange Projects.

• You can use this chapter as a step-by-step, more detailed tutorial approach to the same sample implementation.

  Note –

  Many of the procedures in this chapter must be done for both the Atlanta and Berlin companies. Unless otherwise stated, procedures are given once, with dual branching where procedures for the two Environments differ. It is recommended that you use a given procedure to create the Atlanta component (for example, the Environment) first, then use the procedures again for Berlin, with the appropriate substitutions.

Introduction to the Sample Implementation

To perform the sample scenario implementation, you need to set up the sample Projects, their Environments, and components using the eGate Enterprise Designer with eInsight and eXchange. See the major heading overviews in Chapter 5, Quick Start for ASC X12 PM for summary explanations of ASC X12 PM implementation.

Atlanta and Berlin: Sample Business Scenario contains a description of the sample scenario and how it operates, including the eXchange solutions provided for the business problems contained in the sample.

For more information solving business problems using eXchange with eInsight and eGate, including additional details on implementation, see the eXchange Integrator User’s Guide, eInsight Business Process Manager User’s Guide, and eGate Integrator User’s Guide.

Server Configurations

The sample assumes you use default configurations for all servers, where possible, and that you make any changes in Enterprise Designer, where needed, for example:

• Oracle – You must create a new outbound Oracle external system instance for each Environment and configure it for your system, even if you imported the sample Environments. Sample parameters are for reference only. Any Oracle database used by eXchange must be accessible to eGate, and you must know its Oracle SID, user name, and password. Create and configure the eXchange database using the Oracle510.zip file. For more information see the Oracle eWay Adapter User’s Guide, for eWay settings and Integration Server configuration

• LDAP – You must create a new outbound LDAP external system instance for each Environment and configure it for your system, even if you imported the sample Environments. Sample parameters are for reference only. Any LDAP application used by eXchange must be accessible to eGate. For more information see the LDAP eWay Adapter User’s Guide, for eWay settings and Integration Server configuration.
