Configure Info Exchange Profiles

Overview

Manage the Info Exchange profiles that TraceLink uses to send messages between configured companies, locations, and Trade Partners (e.g. download a profile's configuration files).

Getting Started

Info Exchange profiles contain information that tells TraceLink how to process messages between the company and its locations and the partner companies and locations.

Search Criteria

  • Keywords – The results only return profiles that contain the entered Keywords in the Profile ID, B2B Connection Information, Inbound Map, and Outbound Map fields.

Results Table

  • Default Profile – The Info Exchange profile all companies and locations use by default.
  • Profile ID – The unique identifier for the profile.
  • B2B Connection Information – The technology protocols that the company specifies for each business-to-bussiness (B2B) relationship. A Network Administrator at TraceLink sets up these options for the company.

  • Locations Using Profile – The number of locations that use the profile.

The following example is truncated for viewing because of the large amount of element headers. For the complete list of element headers, see the Element Headers drop-down below.

  • businessProcess – The TraceLink app that correlates to the message (e.g. Master Data Exchange, Serialized Operations Manager).
  • transaction – The type of message for the specific app (e.g. the Product Track module's message TYPE could be Pick/Ship, Return Receipt, Create Initial message, etc.).
  • inboundMapName – The name of the file that defines how TraceLink processes inbound messages for that business process and message.

    Contact a TraceLink Technical Consultant or Implementation Project Manager for more information about valid map names. Contact Support if unsure of the specific consultant or manager.

  • outboundMapName – The name of the file that defines how TraceLink processes outbound messages for that business process and message.

    Contact a TraceLink Technical Consultant or Implementation Project Manager for more information about valid map names. Contact Support if unsure of the specific consultant or manager.

  • configuration – Indicates the manner in which the recipient needs to receive the files (e.g. number of files, maximum size of files, time between file output).
  • B2BConnectionOverride – Indicates that the message in the corresponding row should be received with a different B2B connection.

    The connection must be present in the B2B Connection drop-down. If the B2BConnectionOverride column is empty, the transaction uses the B2B Connection set in the Info Exchange Profile.
