Before you start the test, you must perform the following tasks, which may vary by the role that you are simulating, either a request or response from the Community Manager, or a request or response from a participant:
You can obtain this certificate from a CA, or it can be self-signed.
Edit the VTP values that appear in the bcg_console.properties file.
Edit the bcg.certs.vtp.CertificateDir location in the bcg.properties file.
WebSphere Partner Gateway automatically loads the VTP digital certificate for every participant in the database, allowing you to post to any participant. These certificates are not visible on the console.
This requirement only applies when you are testing a document that requires a response. For more information about targets, see the Hub Configuration Guide.
For example, if you are sending your document to yourself, the Community Manager, the "to" Business ID in the document header must be your own Business ID. The system uses the "to" Business ID to find the correct connection.
The following is an example of the "from" and "to" Business IDs in a test document (lines that are not relevant have been removed):
