B2B Data Exchange processes complex structured and unstructured documents, such as NACHA and EDI documents, SWIFT and HIPAA transactions, and so on. You can receive documents from partners for processing or process documents to send out to partners.

You can use the Operation Console to customize, manage, and monitor processing of similar types of documents for different partners. The Operation Console enables you to perform the operational and administrative tasks required to process the documents, such as setting up and managing partners, workflows, and profiles, and monitoring the events that are generated when the documents are processed.

The B2B Data Exchange developer can create PowerCenter workflows to process documents. These workflows typically include Data Exchange Transformations and Unstructured Data Transformations. In B2B Data Exchange, the administrator can create a workflow that represents the PowerCenter workflow. The Data Exchange Server uses profiles to determine the workflow and parameters to use to process documents for a partner.
