Promotion Scenarios
This section identifies common scenarios for promoting partners from one environment to another. For more information, see Promoting a Partner.
In each of these scenarios, a trading partner P1 has been created in an environment E1. In the table below, that partner is therefore identified as P1E1.
Another partner P1 has been created in environment E2 (P1E2 below). In some scenarios, P1E2 was created by promoting P1E1 from E1 to E2.
In the last scenario, an additional trading partner P2 has been created in environment E2 (P2E2 below).

Result |
---|---|---|---|
P1E1 has previously been promoted to P1E2 |
Selected |
Either selected or not selected |
If P1E1 contains any new cerfificates, they will be copied to P1E2 |
Not Selected |
Either selected or not selected |
P1E1 will not be copied to P1E2 |
|
P1E1 and P1E2 were identical at some point, but a set of identifiers (types and values) has subsequently been configured for AS2, EDI X12 and EDIFACT in P1E1. |
Either selected or not selected |
Selected |
P1E1 identifiers will be copied to P1E2 because the copied data may need information associated with the identifiers (for example Endpoints, or Document Definitions) |
Not selected |
P1E1 identifiers will be copied to P1E2 because the copied data may need information associated with the identifiers (for example Endpoints, or Document Definitions) |
||
P1E1 and P1E2 were identical at some point, but a set of identifiers (types and values) has subsequently been configured for AS2, EDI X12 and EDIFACT in P1E1 and in addition, E2 has another partner (say, P1E3) that coincidentally has the same identifiers (that is, types & values) as P1E2. |
Either selected or not selected |
Promotion fails, because having the same set of identifiers (types and values) more than once causes an error. |
|
P1E1 and P1E2 were identical at some point. Subsequently, a set of identifiers (types and values) has been configured for AS2, EDI X12 and EDIFACT in P1E1 and a different set of identifiers (types and values) has been configured for AS2, EDI X12 and EDIFACT in P1E2. |
Selected |
P1E1 values replace P1E2 values. |
|
Not selected |
P1E2 values are not replaced. |
||
P1E1 has a set of identifiers (types and values) for AS2, EDI X12 and EDIFACT. |
Either selected or not selected |
Promotion fails, because having the same set of identifiers (types and values) more than once (that is, in both P1E2 and P2E2) causes an error. |
