Configuring Databridge partner

Databridge is a ResRent component that provides messaging capability and enables the exchange of XML business document messages with other systems. In addition to the XML business documents, Databridge also includes system administration features that enable you to set up the necessary information to establish communication between ResRent and external applications, enable and disable partners and events, and monitor and manage message processing and delivery.

Configure the partners of your Databridge network to enable communication between Databridge and its integration partners. By default, the Databridge installation auto-populates the system with predefined partners. You can add additional partners as necessary.

Refer to the following descriptions of the pre-defined partners:

  • My enterprise (*)—The "My enterprise" partner represents this ResRent instance itself to which to connect the external applications using Databridge.
    Caution: 
    The system uses the * code assigned as the Partner code for the ResRent system. You can modify the partner Description as necessary, but you cannot delete this record.

    You must select a ResRent user as the Databridge system user, and then enter the user ID and password of that user for the * (My enterprise) partner. The system presets DATABRIDGEINTERNALUSER as the Databridge system user. In most cases, you do not need to change this built-in system user.

  • SMTP Server for Email (SMTPSVR)
  • SALESFORCECRM
  • Oracle: RESEBSDTLSEVENT

To configure additional Databridge partners:

  1. Select Administration > Databridge > Databridge Partners. The List View tab is displayed.
  2. Specify the partner to configure, and then click the Record View tab. The Record View tab is displayed. The partner description, Partner ID, and Active are automatically populated.
    Note: Active must be selected for the * partner for any outbound documents to be generated. You can clear this flag to temporarily stop the generation of outbound documents. The events occurring during the period when the flag is unselected are stored, and the outbound document is generated for them when the flag is selected.

    When the Active flag is unselected for one of the other partners, the inbound documents from that partner are not be accepted by Databridge.
