iWay Trading Partner Manager Architecture

In this section:

iWay Trading Partner Manager (TPM) is an optional component that can be selected during the iSM installation. It is an extension of iSM that enables seamless introduction of iWay TPM into any iSM environment. The iWay TPM framework consists of an iWay TPM web console for design time, an underlying iWay TPM driver, and iWay TPM runtime functions.

iWay Trading Partner Manager Web Console

The iWay TPM web console conforms to Web 2.0 standards and is designed using AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML). The console is developed using the iSM non-blocking HTTP listener with an underlying process for data rendering, as provided in the preconfigured channel for iWay TPM. This channel is called TPMChannel and is packaged as a registry archive for installation.

Once the TPMChannel is deployed and started, the iWay TPM web console can be accessed using the following default URL:

http://localhost:8089

To log on to the iWay TPM web console, you can use the default user name admin and the password iway. The TPMChannel can be customized using standard iSM facilities.

iWay Trading Partner Manager Runtime Functions

iWay TPM includes a set of predefined function calls, which provide easy access to iWay TPM data during runtime. The iWay TPM function calls are compliant with the iWay Functional Language (iFL) specification and can be used wherever iFL is accessible.

iWay Trading Partner Manager Repository

iWay TPM stores partner information as it is defined by the user in a repository. You are required to configure the iWay TPM repository that is accessible through a JDBC provider. Once iWay TPM is configured to use a defined JDBC provider, all of the underlying tables in the configured repository are automatically created. You have an option to preconfigure the database, in which case, iWay TPM will not automatically generate the tables. The iWay TPM web console writes and reads information from this repository, which enables you to manage partner information. The iWay TPM runtime functions use this repository to retrieve partner data and to process the message.

iWay TPM supports the following databases for repository configuration purposes.
