RosettaNet Viewer

RosettaNet is a group of companies that created an industry standard for e-business transactions. Participant Interface Processes (PIPs) define business processes between members of the hub community. Each PIP identifies a specific business document and how it is processed between the Community Manager and participants.

The RosettaNet Viewer displays the required order of sub-transactions needed to successfully complete a document flow. Values that can be viewed using the RosettaNet Viewer include process state, details, raw documents, and associated process events.

Use the RosettaNet Viewer to locate a specific process that generated an event. When you identify the target process, you can view process details and the raw document.

The RosettaNet Viewer displays processes based on specific search criteria.
