Chapter 2 Exchanging Documents : Exchanging URI Definitions

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 via email, the web or any other method. The URI is part of the trading partner’s URL.
See the section on configuring transports in the TIBCO BusinessConnect B2BPlugin for CMI configuration guides for instructions on how to enter the URI when setting up your trading partner.
The following 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 (Directory must be present.)
FTP  URI format ftp://server:port/dir/dir (Directory can be absent.)
For FILE and FTP, the file name should 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 B2BPlugin for CMI protocol variant: B2B-X12, B2B-EDIFACT, B2B-TEXT, or B2B-TRADACOMS.
Example: http://www.gizmo.com:6700/B2B-X12
