Use the PowerCenter Client tools to develop workflows to process documents for B2B Data Exchange. You create the mappings and workflows for B2B Data Exchange in the same way you create other PowerCenter workflows. B2B Data Exchange provides transformations specifically designed to perform the transformation tasks required to process Data Exchange documents. When you add the transformations to a mapping, you can set properties that are used by the corresponding workflow in B2B Data Exchange.
To develop a workflow in PowerCenter to process Data Exchange documents, complete the following steps:
Install and register the Data Exchange plug-in in a PowerCenter repository.
Create source (JMS, flat file, Data Transformation) and target definitions.
Create a mapping and use the B2B Data Exchange transformations, Unstructured Data transformations, and other PowerCenter transformations to process the documents.
Create the connection objects for the JMS queues.
Create the workflow and add the session to run the mapping.
Export the PowerCenter workflow, including mapping, to use as a workflow definition file in B2B Data Exchange.
