B2B Data Exchange Workflows Overview

B2B Data Exchange
Workflows Overview

A workflow is a set of instructions that define how to process documents that partners send to
B2B Data Exchange
. A
B2B Data Exchange
workflow represents a PowerCenter workflow and mapping.
You can create a workflow in
B2B Data Exchange
from a PowerCenter workflow by either of these methods:
  • Select a workflow directly from the PowerCenter repository.
  • Export the PowerCenter workflow to an XML file using the Repository Manager tool. You then select the XML file to import as the workflow definition file.
Along with the workflow definition file, you define basic workflow properties, and save the new workflow.
You can create multiple workflows and associate them with an application. You can associate one workflow with one or more profiles. Real-time workflows use the JMS queue to communicate with PowerCenter.
If you assign event attributes that the dashboard uses in reports to a workflow, the event attribute value must be numeric. An event attribute is numeric if the lexical syntax rules in the Java Language Specification define it as a FloatValue.
