WebSphere® Partner Gateway enables trading partner business-to-business (B2B) integration.
It provides centralised and consolidated B2B trading partner and transaction management to enable and manage process and data integration with trading partners.
- Standards-based transport protocols such as EDIINT AS1, AS2 or AS3, RosettaNet RNIF 1.1 and 2.0, cXML, CIDX Chem eStandards 4.0, ebXML Messaging Service (ebMS) 2.0 to support the connectivity needs of various trading partners, and FIPS 140-2 enablement to be compliant with FIPS standard.
- Native EDI translator with EDI standards support (such as ANSI X12, UN/EDIFACT, Odette, UCS and VICS, EANCOM97, and related industry implementations).
- Supports transformation using WebSphere Transformation Extender (WTX), which provides integrated view of document and functional acknowledgement processing.
- Trading partner self-management and administration allows trading partners to log-on to the WebSphere Partner Gateway Community Console, set up groups for their own user communities, manage integrated FTP server, view business documents, and manage alerts and notifications associated with the handling of their business documents.
- Component architecture with multiple deployment options where multiple instances of specific components (Receivers and Document Managers) may be installed on multiple machines, but they share a single Community Console to support desired throughput and scalability.
- Support for extensibility through the WebSphere Partner Gateway User Exit Framework, which provides support for integrating external functions and capabilities.
- Use of WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment (WAS ND) 6.1 to provide enhanced manageability and deployability. In addition, it provides an option to integrate with other WebSphere SOA and BPM-related business integration products such as WebSphere Transformation Extender (WTX), WebSphere Data Interchange (WDI), WebSphere Process Server (WPS), WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus (WESB), WebSphere Message Broker (WMB), WebSphere Business Monitor, and IBM Tivoli Monitor (ITM).
