Getting Started

This section explains basic information you need to begin using the sample implementation scenario.

See the eXchange User’s Guide for more information on the subject matter covered by this section.

Before You Start

Before you start using the sample Projects, ensure you have completed the following tasks:

• Finish the installation, as explained in Chapter 3, Installing ASC X12 PM.

• Make sure your LDAP and Oracle systems are installed, configured, and operating correctly.

• Your Repository must be running.

• You must have two Domains installed and running, one for Atlanta (dmnA) and one for Berlin (dmnB).

• Using Enterprise Manager (port 15000), you must add two Integration Servers for the Domains, dmnA on 18000 for Atlanta and dmnB on 28000 for Berlin (Host Name: localhost; User Name: Administrator; Password: STC).

• Also for dmnA, add a user with the following parameters:

• username: userA

• password: userA

• Group List: PartnerManager, MessageTracking

• For dmnB, add a user with the following parameters:

• username: userB

• password: userB

• Group List: PartnerManager, MessageTracking

• You must be logged on to Enterprise Designer.

  Note –

  If your Repository already has a Project at the root level whose name is identical to any of the Projects you are importing, you must delete or rename such Projects before you start.

Exporting Sample Files

Files are supplied with the sample scenario, which support the general operation of the sample. These files are for the transport of data and for the operation of ePM. You must export these files using Project Explorer in Enterprise Designer.

For a list of the sample scenario’s Projects, see Sample Scenario Projects.

These files are:

• Data

• ePM

Exporting Data Files

The data files are:

• For Atlanta under eXchange ⇒ Samples ⇒ X12 ⇒ RecvFromInt ⇒ Files:

• 850-SendingOutbound.dat.~in

• 850.dat.

• For Berlin under eXchange ⇒ Samples ⇒ X12 ⇒ 855_FromInt_850 ⇒ Files:

• X12_4010_855_template.st

• X12_dlg_850_In_Atlanta_850_In.xml

It is recommended that you set up an export folder structure to contain these files like:

C:\temp\eXchange\Sample\X12\Data\Atlanta or Berlin

The ePM export files are located in Project Explorer under eXchange, as follows:

• ePMImport ⇒ X12 ⇒ Hosts ⇒ envA_X12.exp and envB_X12.exp

• ePMImport ⇒ X12 ⇒ Scheduler ⇒ envA_X12_S1.exp and envB_X12_S1.exp

• ePMImport ⇒ X12 ⇒ TP_Profiles ⇒ envA_X12_TP_Berlin.exp and envB_X12_TP_Atlanta.exp

It is recommended that you set up an export folder structure to contain these files like:

C:\temp\eXchange\Sample\X12\TP_Profiles or B2B Hosts or Schedules

Exporting ePM Files

The Atlanta ePM files are:

• envA_X12: For the B2B Host.

• envA_X12_S1.exp: For the Schedule.

• envA_X12_TP_Berlin.exp: For the Berlin TP.

The Berlin ePM files are:

• envB_X12: For the B2B Host.

• envB_X12_S1.exp: For the Schedule.

• envB_X12_TP_Atlanta.exp: For the Atlanta TP.

Editing the Sample Data Files

Files are supplied with the sample scenario, which reference path locations enclosed between the XML tags: <dir> … </dir>. You must edit these files to reflect the location where the data files are to be used by the Atlanta and Berlin systems.

The files you need to edit are:

• For Atlanta:

• 850-SendingOutbound.dat.~in

• For Berlin

• X12_dlg_850_In_Atlanta_850_In.xml

The previous section lists the locations of where to find these files, if you have not already exported them. If you need information on exactly how to edit these files, see Editing the Sample Data .xml Files.

If you have already run the sample and you want to experiment with other differences from the sample (such as using a payload data file with a different file name, or using a TP with a different name), be sure these differences are also reflected in these files, as necessary.
