19.Once you have received a message indicating a successful deploy, shutdown

and restart the InterChange Server.

We have now completed the

basic configuration of the objects that are not

application-specific. The last thing we need to do is to verify the configuration we

have built using a series of Test Connectors and test data.

8.6 Unit Test

First we must populate the TRADING_PARTNER table that is used to fill values

for our GLN and partner IDs. Perform the following steps:

1. Open a DB2 command Window or Command Center session.

Note: You will notice here that you do not receive a message about

overwriting duplicate objects because the server has no prior knowledge of

these objects. They are new.

2. Connect to the smb_db database as smbadmin. See Figure 8-60.

Figure 8-60 Connect to database

3. Insert a row onto the TRADING_PARTNER table as follows, where GLN_CODE

is your UCCnet GLN. See Example 8-3.

Example 8-3 Populate trading partner table

insert into trading_partner

(GLN_CODE,TRADING_PARTNER_NAME,TRADING_PARTNER_CONTACT,TRADING_PARTNER_TYPE)

values('7789333002006', 'ITSOSUPPLY2', '918912760079', 'SOURCE')

4. Verify your results by checking the contents of the database.

5. Change the shortcut for the iSoft connector to point to your InterChange

server. (Remember that when the product was installed the default ICS name

was used in all of the shortcuts that were created.)

6. Start the iSoft Connector.

sample business object which may be used for unit test purposes.
