TRADACOMS Solution Overview

The WmTradacoms package supports parsing of Tradacoms messages within IS and TN. It has a DSP page where you can setup TN doc types. So this one package includes the functionality for the Tradacoms standard that is provided for the rest of the EDI standards as 2 packages (WmEDI and WmEDIforTN). The WmEDIINT package supports the EDIINT AS1 and AS2 standard - you can send any payload (XML or EDI) thru EDIINT.

Hi,

It’s written in the TRADACOM official documentation (chapter 8) that the TRADACOM package is not compatible with Webmethod cluster environment. What are the reasons? Is it due to the "partner agreement " layer of TN?

What will be the consequences if running the TRADACOM solution in a Webmethod cluster environment?
