Hi Experts,
need your help on the following questions:
1. when the partner system is installed on its local network how can the pi get connected to it? and how can i do a connection
test?
2.is there any document about a practical b2b scenario? i need a step by step guide .
any helpful replies will be rewarded.

hi Dario,
1. Your partner systems are installed in their own LAN and your PI is installed in your own LAN. They are separated by firewall. If this is the case, then you need to contact your IT Security guy to open for communication ports, for bi-directional communication with your partner systems. The same your partner has to take care at their end. Probably, you will be communicated their natted IP and same will apply with you also,when you communicate your partner about your end points.
2. Since your partner system is sitting at a different LAN/Network that is outside the scope of your organization, then there will be no room for your partner systems in your SLD. You need to create business service for this.
Thanks and Regards,

i am planning to use a JDBC sender to get data from the partner system, then it will use the following connections:
jdbc:oracle:thin:@<ip>:<port>:<service name>
so if the partner provides me the IP, port and the service name it will work?
or maybe as you mentioned, the IT security guys need to do something to make the IP known to the PI?

Dario,
As your PI and your partner system is separated by firewall, then you need to ask the IT Security team to open ports for any communication between you and them. Even if your PI system and your partner system is kept in DMZ, unless you open communication ports, you will not be able to transfer data. Your physical IP s are not exposed to anywhere as you will be providing the natted IP to your partner and same will they do.
Rajesh has suggested to use encryption for communication and that has to be carried out in any case as you are not supposed to expose your systems directly to the outside world and the mode of communication is over the internet.
Common B2B adapters we have heard about are CIDX, RosettaNet,etc, although I have not used them ever. I am not sure about the JDBC communication over internet will be possible or not, if possible then the connection parameters you have provided should work,but the consideration is that you have the connectivity established. In this case your default communication port should be the db port.
As you said, you are planning to use VPN connectivity, in that case, I believe , if your client's LAN is accessible to you, then you need not open communication ports, even. But the Database must be accessible through this VPN Client IP. You must have VPN access to Client's Database server from your PI and they must be connected. If you straightaway use VPN IP as the DB IP, then I do not think it will come useful to you.

Sugata

HI,
you should not connect directly to your partner system...as it opens the ports to the outside world which is not safe..
for this you need to either keep the system in DMZ..or need to use the third party service providers for encryptions..
in case of B2B..or other option is to use the adapters (AS2/OFTP/...) which transfers the data using certificates n encryption..

thanks for your reply, Rajesh.
Iis it possible to switch to the adapter HTTP or WS and then use HTTPS to make it safe?
and if we do not switch to other adapters, instead we use a VPN connection to let the partner connect to our network, then the partner will get a new VPN Client IP, can we use this IP in the JDBC adapter?
regards.
Dario
