Transaction Profiles

eXchange Integrator centers around the concept of a transaction profile for each trading partner relationship. Transaction profile information is stored on an LDAP-compliant directory server (usually called an LDAP server) through the following workflow:

• Metadata for a transaction profile is defined in Enterprise Designer in the B2B Host.

• Connecting the B2B Host to LDAP and building the B2B Host creates an eXchangeService and causes the metadata to be stored on LDAP.

• Connecting the ePM GUI application to LDAP and building/deploying the application allows eXchange Partner Manager (ePM) to communicate with LDAP.

• Values are eventually supplied using the eXchange Partner Manager (ePM) GUI, and activation of the trading partner produces transaction profiles stored on LDAP.
