Creating and Configuring Transaction Profiles

A Transaction Profile consists of well-configured outbound and inbound business actions, associated with well-configured outbound and inbound delivery actions, such that each delivery action is tied to a well-configured transport. Actions from the PassThrough action group can be used for either or both business actions and/or either or both delivery actions.

Transaction profiles are created in groups containing individual outbound (to-partner) and inbound (from-partner) profiles.

To create a new transaction profile

1. In the Host Explorer tree, open the Host for the transaction profile, click the Host Transaction Profiles folder and click New.

   See Figure 5–18.

2. In the New Host Business Transaction Profile pane on the right, enter a name for the transaction profile and select a business action group from the pull-down list.

   See Figure 5–19.
