Preparing to configure the hub

In the next few chapters, you will be setting up the targets and gateways described in Introduction. Depending on the types of transports you will be using to receive documents into targets and to send them from gateways, you have to do some setup work.

This chapter covers the following topics:

It also provides a brief overview of the FTP scripts needed for the FTP Scripting targets and gateways, and it describes the Data Interchange Services client, which can be used to create transformation, validation, and functional acknowledgment maps for EDI, XML, and record-oriented-data (ROD) documents.

If you are not planning to set up any of these types of targets or gateways, skip this chapter and go to Starting the server and displaying the Community Console.
