EC Gateway’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.
EC Gateway requires three databases—the Configuration
Database, the Trading Partner Database, and the System Log Database—for
both development and production environments. You can use the MS-Access database
for development, but do not use it in a production environment.
The MS-Access database is available on Windows NT and Windows 2000 platforms
only.
The first step in setting up your EC Gateway is to configure your systems—define the servers, server directories, and server databases involved. Click the System icon to display the system configuration menus.
EC Gateway provides support for several systems; however,
Sybase recommends that you configure one system at a time.
