Configuring B2B Hosts and TPs in ePM

Before you can use a TP, you must configure its associated parameters specifically for eXchange, HIPAA PM, and your B2B operation.

Tabs on ePM Canvas

You can set certain parameters in the following tabs in ePM that will be used by the HIPAA PM Projects at runtime:

• B2B Host Configuration

• Trading Partner Configuration

These tabs offer you the following sets of properties in the Host Explorer tree in the left column:

• Business Protocols

• Delivery Protocols

• Transports

• Transaction Profiles

• Private Keys

• Contacts

• Schedules

Configuration parameters for your HIPAA PM Projects are located under the Business Protocols, Delivery Protocols, and Transports categories of properties. See Categories of Configurable Properties for a description of these categories.

Parameter Types

Each set of ePM parameters contains the following parameter types:

• General eXchange parameters common to all PMs, for example, Transports

• HIPAA PM-specific parameters present only for this PM

Additional Information

This document contains a sample implementation scenario with specific ePM settings configured. You may refer to this sample scenario for ePM implementation examples.

The rest of this chapter explains the available parameters for HIPAA PM configuration and how to set them.
