Specifying or changing attributes

When you activate the connection, you can set attributes or modify attributes that were previously defined. To specify or change the attributes for this connection:

  1. Click Attributes to view or change the attribute values.

    For example, suppose the Community Manager is sending a document packaged as None to a participant. The participant is going to receive the document packaged as AS. It is possible that the Community Manager has more than one Business ID assigned to it. To indicate to WebSphere Partner Gateway which ID to use:

    1. Click Attributes on the Source side of the connection.
    2. When the Connection Attributes page is displayed, expand the None folder.
    3. Select from the Update list the AS ID you want sent to the participant.
    4. Click Save.
    Note: If you previously specified an AS ID (in the B2B Capabilities page, for example), the value you enter here will override the earlier value.

    Another example of setting an attributes is to enter a value for the MDN address when you are receiving documents packaged as AS from a participant. The address specifies where the MDN is delivered.

  2. Click Actions if you want to view or change an action or a transformation map associated with this connection. Any value you change here overrides any other values you have set for the action or map.
  3. Click Gateways if you want to view or change the source or target gateway.
  4. If the Add Connection Profile button and the Active Profiles list appears, you can associate this connection with a particular profile that you have previously defined.

The attributes that you set at the connection level take precedence over any attributes you set at the protocol or document flow level.
