Getting Started

Before you begin, it is recommended that you do all the procedures given in the previous sections of this chapter. Also, your Integration Server must be running. Also, your LDAP system and eXchange database (Oracle) must be running and accessible. However, Enterprise Designer does not need to be running.

For a general description of the outbound and inbound messaging ToPartner and FromPartner model used by ePM, see Configuring ePM: ToPartner and FromPartner Messaging Model.

You must do the procedures given under Running ePM to run ePM. In addition, after you run ePM, it is recommended that you do the procedures given under Importing B2B Hosts and Importing TPs.

If you want, you can create your own B2B Hosts and TPs using the procedures given in this section and using the sample scenario B2B Hosts and TPs as models. For more details, see the eXchange Integrator User’s Guide.

The remainder of this section explains these operations.

For detailed information on configuring ePM, see Chapter 4, Configuring HIPAA PM.

Exporting the necessary ePM Files

The ePM export files for the B2B Hosts, TPs, and Schedules are located in Project Explorer under eXchange, as follows:

• ePMImport ⇒ HIPAA ⇒ Hosts ⇒ envA_HIPAA_Host.exp and envB_HIPAA_Host.exp

• ePMImport ⇒ HIPAA ⇒ Schedulers ⇒ envA_HIPAA_S1.exp and envB_HIPAA_S1.exp

• ePMImport ⇒ HIPAA ⇒ TP_Profiles ⇒ envA_HIPAA_TP_Berlin.exp and envB_HIPAA_TP_Atlanta.exp

For more information, see Exporting ePM Files. It is recommended that you set up a folder structure to contain these files, which reflects this organization, for example:

C:\temp\eXchange\Sample\HIPAA\TP_Profiles

For more information on how to use ePM, see the eXchange Integrator User’s Guide.
