The EC Gateway’s desktop’s graphical interface allows you to configure multiple execution environments (for example, test and production environments). Some EC Gateway implementations include system definitions for each trading partner, or group of trading partners. The main purpose of configuring a system is to establish connectivity to the configuration, trading partner, and log databases.
The first step in setting up your EC Gateway is to configure your system. This allows you to define the servers, server directories, and server databases involved in your system. Left-click the System icon within the EC Gateway desktop to display the system configuration menus.
EC Gateway provides support for several systems. Sybase
recommends that you configure one system at a time.
