Question

Situation: I am Pranke customer. My new EDI partner is not an eGate customer and told me his GLN. This does not correspond however with the GLN of its enterprise appearing in the participant search

Solution / Description:

If the GLN in the participant search is different from the GLN named by the contact person of the new EDI partner, this may be because the partner has several GLNs, but only one eGate account with an EDI communication address.

Usually, even large organizations have only one EDI communication address, where the EDI data is exchanged and then distributed within the organization. Only if several such communication addresses exist to external parties, several participant numbers must also be created. Usually it is not necessary to create further participants for the same company. It is therefore necessary to clarify with the person responsible for EDI at the new EDI partner whether an additional participant (with an additional communication address to be monitored) is necessary. The GLN appearing in the participant search is the participant’s UNB dispatch address, which is also linked to the communication address known to us.

In exceptional cases, several GLNs can also be stored with a partner, please consult our support for this.

Question

If you have a gateway account and use x400 as the transmission path, you must send the messages to the x400 eGate address. This address is in principle always the same, you only have to enter the respective participant number of the trading partner on eGate in the surname (S). You can find this on our participant search at www.pranke.com or you can ask your trading partner for it.

The following is the structure of the currently valid X.400 address of an eGate participant when sending from the X.400 network of Deutsche Telekom:

X400 Bezeichnung X400 Key Value
Country C= de
Adminstrative Domain A= viat-smtp
Private Domain P= com
Organisation O= pranke
Organisation Unit 1 OU1= egate
Surname S= <TNr>

For ‘Surname’, the TNr (= participant number) must be entered here. So for the eGate user 2800999999 the gateway address is therefore: C=de; A=viat-smtp; P=com; O=pranke; OU1=egate; S=2800999999

When sending outside the X.400 network of Deutsche Telekom:

X400 Bezeichnung X400 Key Value
Country C= DE
Adminstrative Domain A= VIAT
Organisation O= PRANKE
Surname S= EGATE

For the owner of a customer account, it is possible to determine the access of the message to the recipient.

If a service provider is connected between the sender and our eGate messaging service or between eGate and the recipient, a query may also be necessary.

This is how you can check the successful sending of messages:

Log in to eGate with your login data and open the “Sent Messages” folder.

The status of a message can be determined by an eGate customer and, if necessary, communicated to his business partner:

message_states

If you open the message by double-clicking on the message ID, you can find out the destination of the message in the Raw Header tab. Either the eGate mailbox of the recipient or the forwarding address ( gateway) of the recipient is located there.

If a message has been demonstrably transmitted and the recipient still does not see the message, the recipient must review his reception data or possibly instruct his support to look this up.
