iWay Trading Partner Manager (iTPM) is an extension of iWay Service Manager (iSM). As a result, the architecture of iTPM is based on iSM. iTPM uses standard iSM components and augments the iWay service design-time and runtime environment to easily access the iTPM repository data.

The iTPM Web application allows users to configure trading partners using an intuitive GUI and persist the data to an iTPM database. Users can also map partners to iWay components (for example, channels, listeners, adapters, and so on) using iSM. iTPM runtime and custom functions serve as iTPM runtime components, which provide easy access to the iTPM repository. Custom and runtime functions in process flow messages can be routed between partners.
