Universal Messaging vs Trading Network

Hi All,

I am new to WebM and trying to understanding the architecture of WebM. Can someone please help
a) Let know the difference between Universal Messaging and Trading Network
b) Is there any architecture document which speaks about how each of these components integrate and interact with each other.

Regards

On a very high-level, UM is the native messaging system provided by SAG (which is going to replace native Broker in the coming years) and TN is the B2B solution to exchange business documents between/across enterprise, this also support EDI module, cXML etc.,

Since you are novice, I would recommend to start with this link first http://techcommunity.softwareag.com/ecosystem/documentation/webmethods/wmsuites/wmsuite10-4/wM_Suite_Concepts/10-4_Understanding_Software_AG_Products.pdf

and proceed with the Integration Server as this is the core module of SAG webMethods.

For more details refer the below links:

TN

Thank you for the prompt response
