The Community Manager is typically the company that owns the WebSphere Partner Gateway server and that uses the server to communicate with participants. The Community Manager is also considered a participant of the hub, and, as such, has a profile, gateways, and B2B capabilities.
To create the Community Manager profile, perform the following steps:
Observe the following guidelines when typing the identifier:
Both the Community Manager and the participants involved in these types of document flows should have both a DUNS and Freeform ID. The Freeform ID is used to represent EDI IDs that have both an identifier and a qualifier. For example, suppose the EDI qualifier is "ZZ" and the EDI identifier is "810810810". The Freeform ID could be specified as ZZ-810810810.
After you create a profile for the Community Manager, establish the gateways that the hub will use to send documents to the Community Manager. Refer to the following sections for setting up gateways for the Community Manager:
After you set up the gateways for the Community Manager, you set up the B2B capabilities of the Community Manager.
