The Obstacle:
The company has moved from a VAN using scripted FTP - Network N1 to secured FTP - N2.
The Limitation:
Currently N1 has 750+ TPR's (Trading Partner Relationships) while the new network, N2 has already more than 1000 TPR's. The solution to delete and recreate the network with the new setting is not applicable.
The Contravention:
It has been observed that the EDTRAD is the software's Trading Partner Relationship master. It contains the field for network ID. The following has been tested to prove the health of the system:
A TC entry was chosen and the TPR was noted.
The selected TPR was displayed and the TPRID was noted. Screenshot of the TPR was saved.
Network ID was changed on EDTRAD using SQL using TPRID to fetch and change.
Various tasks were done using the updated TPR including sending to the network. If able, pick a mailbox for a receiving transaction and make copy to the new network and trying receiving it.
