Configuring attribute values

For PIP Document Flow Definitions, most of the values of the attributes are already set and do not need to be configured. However, you do need to set the following attributes:

RNIF (1.0) package

RNIF (V02.00) package

Note that the PIPs for which Business Integration Connect provides PIP document flow packages are not synchronous. As a result, you do not need to change the Sync Ack Required and Sync Supported attributes for these PIPs.

Note: The behavior of the Sync Ack Required attribute differs between 1-way and 2-way PIPs. For a 2-way PIP, when Sync Ack Required is set to No, this setting takes precedence over a NonRep of Rec setting of Yes. For example, suppose you send a 3A7 with the following settings:

For a 2-way PIP, you receive an error message on the incoming document. On a 1-way PIP, however, you see the incoming document on the console, and a 0KB 200 is returned to the participant.

If you want to set the attributes using the Document Flow Definition context, do the following.

  1. Click Hub Admin > Hub Configuration > Document Flow Definition.
  2. Click folder icons to individually expand a node to the appropriate Document Flow Definition level or select All to expand all displayed Document Flow Definition nodes.
  3. In the Actions column, click the Edit attribute values icon for the package you want to edit such as Package:RNIF (1.1) or Package:RNIF (V02.00).
  4. In the Document Flow Context Attributes section, go to the Update column of the attribute you want to set and select or type the new value in the update field. Repeat for each attribute that you want to set.
  5. Click Save.

If you want to set the value of the attributes for each connection, do the following:.

  1. Click Account Admin > Participant Connections.
  2. Select the source and the target of the connection you want to change and then click Search.
  3. The Console displays a list of connections that match the source and target criteria. Each connection displays two sets of Document Flow Definitions (Source and Target) and a set of buttons including two Attributes buttons. To edit Document Flow Definition attributes for the source or target, click the Attributes button closest to the source or target you want to edit.
  4. In the Connection Attributes window, expand the Package node.
  5. Go to the Update column of the attribute you want to set and select or type the new value in the update field. Repeat for each attribute that you want to set.
  6. Click Save.
