Faced with the rapid development
in B2B e-commerce, businesses and other customers are becoming
increasingly connected to suppliers to exchange data though
the Internet, resulting in the increasing need to integrate
systems. AboveE provides the RosettaNet Channel Manager (RNCM)
solution to assist businesses to quickly join the global industry
supply chain. |
|
RNCM is a B2B e-commerce business management
platform that is compliant with the RosettaNet transaction
standard. It can be easily configured to execute the information
in the Trading Partner Agreement as required by RosettaNet.
Also, it has a complete query and tracking feature to provide
records of process execution status, PIP (Partners Interface
Process) from exchanges, contents of exchanged information,
and error tracking. The user interface is web-based, with
easy to use operation methods. It has a built-in fast Level
1 and Level 2 testing. These features reduce the time system
administrators needed to learn and maintain the system. When
the system is being deployed or after it goes online, if there
are problems with a trade partner, either the system administrator
or a B2B internal user can track and quickly respond to them
by using a web browser. |

Simple System Integration Methods |
RNCM not only provides the ability to exchange data with
transaction partners, but can also provide data from transaction
partners directly to backend corporate systems using the following
three methods: |
| |
|
| |
1• Through the Power Process BPM process integration
feature, the developed process name can be configured onto
RNCM so the data from transaction partners can be directly
connected to internal processes and onto the backend system,
resulting in real time date from transaction partners around
the world.
2• RNCM has an internal Adapter Manager that manages
all customized adapters and backend system connections. Through
integration using the adapter, the internal requirements of
businesses can be customized and the ability to integrate
with backend systems is thus platform independent.
3• RNCM has as internal Adapter can be configured by
using a wizard to transfer data received instantaneously to
the appropriate database to assist with the rapid development
of backend systems. |

|
Transaction Agreement Allocation |
As different PIPs are
developed, RNCM provides a graphical user interface
(GUI) to system administrators to manage the data
flow; then the appropriate transaction method is customized
based on the PIP (Partners Interface Process) agreement.
After configuring the agreement, Level 1 and Level
2 test can be conducted with transaction partners.
The results of these tests would be beneficial to
the development of an integrated backend.

Simple Form Query and Monitoring |
Though querying and monitoring
RNCM forms, the administrator or user can directly
query the transaction status using the form number.
For example, the 3A 4 Purchase Order Request has a
Document ID, which is the form number of the purchasing
form. If there is need to resend a transaction message,
a resend feature in the query results can be used
to resend the message. RNCM also provides users with
the mechanisms to upload data format files (XSL/XSLT)
to allow queries of transaction information to be
presented in the predefined format.

|
| |
Standard Message Generator Wizard
|
|
RNCM allows
administrators to generate standard RosettaNet Messages
without any programming. Standard transaction messages
received from transaction partners can be exported using
the same wizard. This feature can accelerate the deployment
speed and lower costs associated with human resources
and time. |
| |
|
History Viewer |
RNCM provides administrators
with Message Log and System Log to investigate problematic
transactions using query and viewing options. Administrators
can use either the DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, or FATAL
level to view the transaction messages to quickly find
problems. |
