Importing Partner Profiles
Introduction The partner profile defines the parameters that control the processing and
structure of inbound and outbound data. As a result, the partner profiles may
become complex and may require you to define a significant number of
parameters.
To simplify this process, Gentran:Server includes the import partner feature,
which enables you to import partner details from a file. The file of partner details
can originate from a partner profile that was exported from another copy of the
Gentran:Server system.
You can also use the import facility to update information for existing partners. If
you import to an existing partner profile, you can add new trading relationships.
Existing relationships are not modified.
Note
Any tables (cross-reference, lookup, or location) attached to the partner profile are
also imported.
Reference
