Document & Messaging Support
“Speak” every format and protocol
Why manage many different B2B platforms when a single, unified gateway is all you need? webMethods Trading Networks supports any document format and any messaging transport protocol so you can automate multi-business processes with any trading partner.
Document creation & parsing
Create and process all types of document formats—from traditional EDI documents using X12 or UN/EDIFACT to those in an industry-specific XML format, to flat-file documents, such as spreadsheets. Support a wide range of document formats rapidly using webMethods eStandards modules. As a unified B2B gateway, webMethods Trading Networks works with all document formats equally—for the documents you send to trading partners, when parsing and processing messages sent to you and when seamlessly integrating B2B message data with your internal application data.
Versatile messaging transport support
Whatever your business, you need flexibility in how you communicate with your partners so you can integrate with new partners fast. That means your B2B integration solutions must “speak” the same message transports. That’s no problem with webMethods Trading Networks.
You can work with any messaging transport protocol, including:
- Industry messaging transports, such as HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SMTP and EDIINT
- Specialized standards, such as RNIF, ebXML, SOAP
- And more
Trading Networks also makes it easy to define messaging transport options at the partner level.
Document validation for every format
Assure data accuracy and high quality. That’s critical to maintaining good trading partnerships. With webMethods Trading Networks, you can ensure the data you send and receive is correct and reliable. webMethods Trading Networks enables you to validate every document to see that it meets its specifications—no matter if the format is EDI, XML or a flat file.
Secure message delivery
Ensure your documents are delivered and received securely with your trading partners. webMethods Trading Networks supports industry-standard security and encryption standards and protocols, such as HTTPS, so your data is only read by the people who are supposed to read it.
