Connection duplication
The system avoids inadvertent duplication of connections by uniquely identifying
each connection based on the following parameters:
v Source Partner
v Source package and version
v Source protocol and version
v Source document type and version
v Source Activity (if defined)
v Source Action (if defined)
v Target Partner
For example if there are two connections with the same source partner, source
document and target partner, both connections cannot be activated even if the
target document is different in each of the connections. In this case, one of the
connections must be deactivated.
Note: EDI documents can have multiple connections as described if an additional
Connection profile is associated with them. The values configured for a Connection
Profile is used to add additional criteria for uniquely identifying the connection.
Searching for connections
To access connections, you search for them. There are two ways to search for
connections:
v Using the Managing Connections window to search for connections by selecting
the Source and Receiver. See "Performing a basic search for connections" on
page 56.
v Using the system's Advanced Search facility to specify additional search criteria
including Business ID, initiating and receiving packages and protocols, and
initiating and receiving document flows. See "Performing an advanced search
for connections" on page 56.
Use the following procedure to perform a basic search for connections. When
selecting a source and a target, observe the following guidelines:
v The source and target has to be unique.
v Do not mix a production destination with a test destination when selecting
source and receiver; otherwise, an error occurs. Both the source and the target
has to be production or test destinations.
