Role and Party Management
|
|
|
| Hi All,
How shall I manage Roles and Parties in a production environment? I dont
have Visual studio installed in that environment. Biztalk Administration
tool does not provide that functionality. Is C# code the only way to
admin/manage these?
Thanks!

| Hi,
as always - it depends!
The tool that Microsoft provides for this is BAS, in particular the TPM
(Trading Partner Management) component.
BAS is a bit tricky to set up, you need to read carefully about Sharepoint
Services and it's interoperability with Frontpage Server extensions. I found
that SP1 removes some essential components but if you can get thru all that
it should provide what you need. It's definitely worth investigating.
The main downside to BAS/TPM is that it does not support all adapters, I
recall it only supports 3. In my case there was no integration with EDI so it
did not help.
If you do not use one of the supported adapters you are left with putting
together some c#. You may be able to use TPM together wiith your own code.

| Mark,
I need to manage HIPAA EDI parnters. BAS is not required in my situation and
I dont know how to manage EDI partners using BAS. Microsoft is making it
difficult by not providing a tool to manage these. Now I need to write code
for that task.
Thanks!

| Hi,
thinking about it some more, the TPM component will do what you ask, it will
manage Parties, Roles, Role-Links. So if that really is all you are after it
may work for you.
The problem, on the EDI Adapter, is setting up the Receive Location (using
the Party you defined). So although you have the Party and Receive Location
interfaces they don't let you configure into the EDI system.
As far as I could tell there is no configuration interface for the EDI
Server. I imagine this is the same for the HIPAA adapter. But if you do find
one, post it here!

| Thanks Mark,
I dont have BAS setup on production box. I am developing code for this task.
