You set up a connection between participants for each type of document that will be exchanged. For example, you might have multiple connections from the Community Manager to the same participant, because the packaging, protocol, document flow, action, or map might be different.
When you activate connections, you can specify attributes for the source or target participant. Any attributes you set at the connection level take precedence over attributes you set at the B2B capabilities level (for a particular participant) or at the document flow definition level.
For EDI, XML, and ROD documents, you have multiple connections for each exchange, if the exchange involves enveloping or transformation. You can further define connections for these types of documents by selecting from a set of profiles associated with the connection. See Connection profiles for details.
