Activating TradeLink communications agent service

Note: This section applies to TradeLink users only.

SoftCare TradeLink ebusiness community management software and manages electronic business document processes internally and among trading communities. TradeLink integrates with its various agent modules via the web service (SOAP/HTTP) protocol and uses the VersaLexCleo HarmonyCleo VLTraderCleo LexiCom web service for trading partner communications.

  1. Select the Web Service service under the Local Listener  local host node in the active tree pane.
  2. Click Enabled.
  3. Enter the TradeLink database driver string, connection string (that is, URL), and username/password. If you are not sure of these values, contact the TradeLink system administrator.
  4. Select Allow web access to logs\ directory if you require access to VersaLexCleo HarmonyCleo VLTraderCleo LexiCom log files from within TradeLink.
  5. Select Apply.  The TradeLink communications agent service is now active.

The VersaLexCleo HarmonyCleo VLTraderCleo LexiCom application supports the TradeLink compressed content option.  For outgoing content, nothing needs to be configured.  But for incoming content, the TradeLink.compression.file.size.threshold system property, if present, is used to determine whether the incoming content should be compressed (the property value is expressed in bytes).  To set this property in the web UI, go to Administration > System > Bootstrap or in the native UI, go to Configure > Launcher (see Bootstrap configuration) and add -DTradeLink.compression.file.size.threshold=… to the Windows Service Other settings (or Command Line if Unix) and restarting the service (daemon).
