Exchanging URI Definitions

Partners must exchange Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) as part of the partner agreement before they can transact e-commerce. Trading partners can trade URI definitions by email, the web or any other method. The URI is part of the trading partner’s URL.

For instructions on how to enter the URI when setting up your trading partner, see the section of configuring transports in the TIBCO BusinessConnect™ Container Edition - EDI Protocol powered by Instream® configuration guides.

The following information is a list of the available transport protocols and their URI formats:

EMAIL URI format: mailto:username@domain
Example: mailto:johndoe@tibco.com
FILE URI format file://dir/dir
The directory must be present.
FTP URI format ftp://server:port/dir/dir

The directory can be absent.

For FILE and FTP, the file name must be specified in the file mask field. See File Masks for information on how to specify the file mask field in FILE and FTP transport.

• HTTP URI format: http://server:6700/XXX

where XXX is the TIBCO BusinessConnect™ Container Edition - EDI Protocol powered by Instream® protocol variant: X12 or Gateway.

Example: http://www.gizmo.com:6700/X12
