Description

The customer has two hosts, Host A and Host B. In order to successfully test with both, they have to manually update the default host and toggle between the two since there can be only ONE default host that can be set from Admin GUI.

When running a test for Host B and the default host is set to Host A, they get the following error :
<<<
Status Code 664: Notification did not reach trading partner.XMLDocument could not be sent to the Trading Partner due to following reason:No biz agreement exists between Host B and Trading Partner B.
>>>

Issue/Introduction

Since BC only allows one default host, the customer wants to set two or more.

Windows environment

Resolution

Unfortunately, there can be only one default host for BC to use with EDI transactions.

You need to set this under "perMessage" :
