Transaction Profiles

Each Transaction Profile enables a specific messaging function and is associated with a B2B Host. For example, you may create Transaction Profiles at the B2B Host level (in the B2B Host Configuration tab in ePM), whose parameter values are inherited at the TP level (in the Trading Partner Configuration tab in ePM).

A Transaction Profile consists of a Business Protocol Action Group, a Delivery Protocol Action Group (if necessary), and a Transport. Therefore, a given Transaction Profile inherits parameter values from each of its constituent Action Group and Transport components.

At the TP level, a B2B Host Transaction Profile may be used as a part of the configuration of a TP component, that is, one of the TP’s Transaction Profiles. In these cases, the TP is said to “inherit” the configuration values of the B2B Host Transaction Profile it is using.
