To create a B2B host

1. In Enterprise Designer with the Project Explorer tab active, in the project tree, right-click the Project or subproject where the B2B Host will reside.

2. Point to New and click B2B Host.

   See Figure 4–1.

3. When the new component appears in the project tree, you can click-pause-click to rename it from B2BHost1 to whatever you want.

   It is good practice to use a short name beginning with “bh” to indicate that the component is a B2B Host.

   The project tree displays the new component with a “handshake” icon. Also, the B2B Host Designer opens to display a tree of Attribute Definitions, with containers for Business Protocol Attribute Definitions, Delivery Protocol Attribute Definitions, and Transport Attribute Definitions. See Figure 4–2.
