To send a vendor B2B connection test transaction:If you are using the Eclipse B2B Commerce companion product for electronic trading with your vendors who also run Eclipse, test the B2B communication connection between your Eclipse application and your vendors from the Vendor B2B Setup screen in Eclipse. When you test the vendor B2B communication, your system and your vendor's system do the following:
Your system translates the XML request according to the settings in the outbound vendor B2B connection test transaction map.
Your vendor's system verifies the basic credential information passed in the transaction and sends a message back to your system. If the connection test was successful, your vendor's system sends HTTP 200 response back to your system and Eclipse displays the following message in the Vendor B2B Setup screen: Good Customer Number and Password. Connection was successful.
If the connection test was not successful, Eclipse displays troubleshooting information in the Vendor B2B Setup scree. For example, the message might indicate that the password you specified is invalid, or the web server would not allow a certain method. The message often displays detailed HTML information that you can use to determine the connection problem.
Your system archives the outgoing XML document in Remote Archive Maintenance.
To send a vendor B2B connection test transaction:
From the Files menu, select Vendor to display the Vendor Maintenance screen.
Open or create a vendor maintenance record.
Use the WWW hot key to display the Internet Information Maintenance screen.
Use the B2B Commerce hot key to open the vendor's Eclipse B2B Commerce Vendor Maintenance screen.
Enter the login information you use to access the vendor’s web site:
|
Field |
Description |
|
Customer ID |
Your company-assigned login identification. |
|
Login |
The login ID for the customer. |
|
Password |
Your company-assigned login password. |
Use the B2B Post URL hot key and select Connection Test.
The system uses the location in the Default transaction type if all transactions' posts go to the same location for the vendor. If the vendor requires the connection test posts to go to different locations, set the URL for the connection test URL. If not, use the default post URL.
In the B2B Post URL field, enter the post location for XML documents for the customer.
Press Esc until you return to the Vendor Maintenance screen.
Press Esc to save the vendor record and exit the screen.
Use the Test Connection hot key to test your connection access to the vendor. The system attempts to connect to the vendor's URL, using your login information.
