Preface

The ebXML Protocol Manager product integrates with SeeBeyond eGate™ Integrator and SeeBeyond eXchange Integrator to enable you to design Java CAPS Projects that process and validate ebXML messages. eXchange provides an open framework to support standard B2B business protocols and communication protocols, such as ebXML.

ebXML stands for Electronic Business Extensible Markup Language, a modular set of specifications for standardizing XML to enable trade between organizations regardless of size. ebXML specifications give businesses a standard method they can use to exchange XML-based messages, carry on trading relationships, communicate data, and define and register eXchange B2B Protocols.

This guide explains how to install, configure, deploy, and use SeeBeyond® Integrated Composite Application Network Suite™ (ICAN) ebXML Protocol Manager Composite Application for eXchange™ Integrator.

This guide also describes and explains how to install and use ebXML Protocol Manager with eGate and eXchange, to function within the Java CAPS products. Additional detailed information, such as detailed steps required to create sample integration Projects are not included in this guide.

This Preface provides a brief introduction to the purpose, scope, and organization of the document plus additional reference information.
