Implementing WebSphere Business Integration Express for Item Synchronization

198 Implementing WebSphere BI Express for Item Synchronization

10.1 Install iSoft for supplier

First we need to install the P2P Agent.

1. Create an iSoft directory on your machine (we used c:\iSoft_Express).

2. Locate the WinExp ZIP file

3. Extract the ZIP file to the iSoft_Express directory.

10.1.1 Run Buildcfg5

For the unit testing of our AS2 connectivity we will install another instance of iSoft

and send data to ‘ourselves’. We will configure our supplier instance first.Mak

We now need to run the configuration tool (buildcfg5) to set up our base

configuration.

1. Open a command window and change to the directory C:\iSoft_Express

2. Type buildcfg5 to start the configuration tool.

Example 10-1 Buildcfg5

C:\iSoft_Express>buildcfg5

Installing in - C:\iSoft_Express

3. We use 1 as the address type and the localhost IP address.

4. Use ITSO-UCCNET for our certificate names (we will generate these later).

10.1.2 p2pagent.cfg

Now that we have some basic values in our configuration files, it becomes much

clearer what the purpose of each piece of configuration is used for. Before

moving on and completing the configuration, take a minute to look over the

current configuration files as they are.To complete the configuration tasks.

1. Open the p2pagent.cfg file

2. Edit the configuration file so that it looks as follows:

3. Delete the stanzas for iSoft Testing and iSoft certificates and keys.

4. For our test, we will send to a partner named UCCNET. (This is not the real

UCCnet AS2 name, but it will make life easier when changing the

configuration files for an actual test run to UCCnet.) Change the words

Wal-Mart to UCCNET.

5. Change:
