The street address for the trading partner.

Email, 2, 3

These fields can specify email addresses used with this trading partner.  Each field can specify a single email address or a list of email addresses separated by commas.  Click the adjacent prompt button to enter or maintain the list of email addresses.

Phone number

The telephone number for the trading partner.

Fax number

The fax number for the trading partner.

 

The trading partner definition can specify specific processing sequences associated with the trading partner in connection with LANSA Composer's transaction document processing and framework:

Receive processing sequence

Specifies the name of a processing sequence that is used to receive inbound transaction documents for this trading partner.  This processing sequence, if specified, will be called by the supplied TXDOC_RCV processing sequence to perform inbound processing specific to this trading partner.  You can use it in your own processing sequences too, by referencing the associated trading partner built-in variable (refer to TXDOC_RCV for an example of doing this).

Send processing sequence

Specifies the name of a processing sequence that is used to send outbound transaction documents for this trading partner.  This processing sequence, if specified, will be called by the supplied TXDOC_SEND processing sequence to perform outbound processing specific to this trading partner.  You can use it in your own processing sequences too, by referencing the associated trading partner built-in variable (refer to TXDOC_SEND for an example of doing this).
