Extensible TraceLink Transfer FAQs

TraceLink apps are extended through solutions, which pull together assets that define how the app looks and functions when users interact with it (i.e. the app's data model, pages workflows, roles, and policies). Solutions available in the Marketplace Catalog can be saved as Company Solutions and configured to meet a company's specific use cases and business needs.

The Extensible TraceLink Transfer solution provides the user interface for the Extensible TraceLink Transfer app.

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) involves the exchange of business data between applications in a format that everyone understands. The choreography type specifies the format of a B2B message (e.g. X12, EDIFACT) exchanged between external systems and Extensible TraceLink Transfer app with the purpose of supporting interoperability.

The following roles can be assigned to users:

• Application Administrator – Allows users to create and update B2B connections, add users, assign users roles, and view B2B messages within the Extensible TraceLink Transfer app.
• Member - Standard Access – Allows users to view existing B2B connections and the exchanged B2B messages.
• Link Action Developer – Allows access to view and update link action APIs.

Roles group a set of permissions for specific actions (either in the UI or via API), side menu items, and data within an app. The solution applied to the app or its network determines which roles are available. Administrators assign users to roles when they assign users to an app, its network, or its Links.

Owners assign specific roles to Links, which allow their Partners to assign those roles to the Partner users with access to the Link.

Companies must own Opus Solution Environment (OSE) to add or edit roles. If your company owns OSE and you also have the Solution Designer role assigned, you can add new roles to a Company Solution or edit existing roles by navigating to OSE and selecting Roles in the side menu. See the Opus Solution Environment Help Center for more information. If your company does not own OSE, then contact TraceLink Support for more information.
