Document Exchange Tab

Use the Document Exchange tab to specify security information for a transporting Gateway that can be shared by multiple X12 trading partners. The keys and certificates selected in the tab are set in a host and the Gateway participant’s Credentials tab. See TIBCO BusinessConnect Trading Partner Administration for information on how to set credentials. The properties listed in the table can be set for inbound and outbound document exchange.

The document security settings in the transporting Gateway are used instead of the document security settings for the X12 trading partners.
