Configuring WebSphere Partner Gateway - Express

This section provides you with the steps to configure the community participant's environment. In this case, this environment is handled with a WebSphere Partner Gateway - Express system. In the sample scenario presented in this chapter, partnerTwo is using WebSphere Partner Gateway - Express to send and receive EDI using HTTP AS2.

To successfully receive EDI via HTTP AS2, take the following steps:

  1. Configuring My Profile
  2. Creating a participant for Partner One
  3. Configuring the Partner One participant

Configuring My Profile

As the first step, you must create a profile for Partner Two in WebSphere Partner Gateway - Express. To create a profile for Partner Two, take the following steps:

  1. Click Configuration from the main menu.
  2. Click My Profile from the horizontal navigation bar.
  3. Enter the details as outlined in Table 93.
    Table 93. My Profile details

    Receipt Address Unsecure Domain

    IP_COMPUTER_C

    where IP_COMPUTER_C is the Internet protocol (IP) address of Computer C, where WebSphere Partner Gateway - Express is running

    Receipt Address Unsecure Port

    80

    where 80 is the port assigned for use by WebSphere Partner Gateway - Express during installation.

    AS2 Sender ID

    987654321

    Business ID Type

    DUNS

    Business Identifier

    987654321

  4. Click Save.

Creating a participant for Partner One

Partner One must be identified as a participant to WebSphere Partner Gateway - Express. To create Partner One as a participant, take the following steps:

  1. Click Configuration from the main menu.
  2. Click Participants from the horizontal navigation bar.
  3. Click the Create Participants button.
  4. Assign the following values:
    1. Participant Name: partnerOne
    2. AS2 Participant ID: 123456789
  5. Click Save.

From the Manage Participants view, you can see the details for partnerOne.

Configuring the Partner One participant

Once the participant for Partner One exists, you must configure Partner One for AS2 and HTTP. This configuration identifies the parameters required by WebSphere Partner Gateway - Express for both sending and receiving HTTP and AS2 to partnerOne.

To configure partnerOne for HTTP and AS2, take the following steps:

  1. Click Configuration from the main menu.
  2. Click AS2 from the horizontal navigation bar.
  3. Select partnerOne from the Selected Participant list and click Edit.
  4. Define the Outbound Destination Address of partnerOne as:
    http://IP_COMPUTER_B:7080/bcgreceiver/submit

    Where IP_COMPUTER_B is the IP address of Computer B.

  5. Click Save.
  6. Click HTTP from the horizontal navigation bar. (partnerOne should still be displayed as the Selected Participant.)
  7. Click Edit.
  8. Set the Inbound User Name and Password:

    User Name: partnerOne

    Password: partnerOne

    Remember these were referenced earlier in the sample step of creating the default gateway for Partner Two in WebSphere Partner Gateway Enterprise Edition on Computer B.

  9. Set the Outbound Destination Address to:
    http://IP_COMPUTER_B:7080/bcgreceiver/submit
  10. Click Save.

Important: After making these changes in WebSphere Partner Gateway - Express, log out of the console and stop the gateway. Restart the gateway and console for all changes to take effect.
