ProfileMgr Component [IP*Works! EDI V8]

Properties Methods Events Configuration Settings

The ProfileMgr component is used to manage self and trading partner profiles used for AS2 communication.

NOTE: What follows is a very short description of the component interfaces. For more information, please consult the help files that come with the respective package.

Remarks

AS2 communication require management of several configuration settings such as encryption certificate, signing certificate and SSL certificates. Both for your self and your trading partners.

The ProfileMgr component allows you to manage such settings using simple xml files, furthermore these configuration files can be directly fed to the AS2SENDER and AS2RECEIVER component as a convenient way to set communication parameters.

To use the ProfileMgr you should first set DataDir to configure the directory that it will use to store the profiles. You can then set the properties to be retained and save them by invoking SaveProfile, alternatively you could retrieve previously saved settings using LoadProfile.

When a new trading partner profile is saved a sub-directory named after the trading partner is created within DataDir and the file partner.cfg is saved in it. If CreateDirStruct is set to true, the following sub-directories are created within the partner directory. These can be helpful in managing other data for the trading partner. Please refer to IPWorks! EDI AS2 Connector application to see an example of how these directories can be used.

DirIncoming	Received files.
