Question about multiple trading partners setup

[damahala]

Hi all,

I have a case where two clients share same AS2 Identifier but two different
EDI Qualifiers. In my understanding that both AS2 Identifier and EDI
Qualifier must both be unique to the system, so now I am running into a
problem for setting up the trading partners for both accounts. Is there
anyway in the BizTalk 2006 to allow you set up the trading partners for the
case like this? or can I use AS2 account to be independent from those two
partner accounts?

Thank you very much!

Hi Art,

Use role links to distinguish between two clients. You will need:

- Role Link Type (uses a Port Type),
- Role,
- Include Role in your Orchestration where you normally use a Send or
Receive port,
- 2 (or however many) parties (to receive / send info to your 2 clients).
You have a box to specify your EDI address and qualifier there,
- An Expression to assign the correct link, something like:

Role(Microsoft.XLANGs.BaseTypes.DestinationParty)=
new Microsoft.XLANGs.BaseTypes.Party(@"EDI:\\123:ZZ:456","EDI");

- Receive / send ports, to be linked to the parties.

This should be enough to get you started. Please respond if you need
additional information.

Best, Alex

I have a similar issue. Our company is using Biztalk server 2006. We are
exchanging EDI docs with our trading partners - 850 & 810 (we send 850 and
receive 810 & 997 for the 850's sent). I'm trying to set up a new trading
partner onto EDI, who is using the same AS2 id as other trading partner(Who is
already set up into biztalk) and running into the issue of duplicate AS2 id.
They both are using the same AS2 id but different EDI qaulifiers. When trying
to
create the parties, I get the above mentioned error. Please let me know how we
can handle situation like this - multiple vendors using the same AS2 id with a
different EDI qaulifier.

Thanks
