IBM WebSphere® Partner Gateway V6.1 enables trading partner business-to-business (B2B) integration. It provides centralized and consolidated B2B trading partner and transaction management to enable and manage process and data integration with trading partners.

For ebXML, IBM WebSphere® Partner Gateway V6.1, includes Drummond Group certification for the following 3 profiles:

• ebMS 2.0 Basic Profile, for the basic general use of ebMS 2.0, used in Canada, Europe, and Asia, and in healthcare and auto industries.
• ebMS 2.0 XML Encryption Profile, designed to test message-based encryption. The technical details of this profile are based on requirements and methods originally defined by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), which uses ebMS in its Public Health Information Network applications.
• ebMS 2.0 Automotive Retail Profile, based upon requirements and recommendations from the STAR consortium (Standards for Technology in Automotive Retail), which includes testing of gzip-based compression.

IBM WebSphere® Partner Gateway V6.1 also provides support for the ebXML Collaboration Protocol Profile and Agreement (CPPA) by supporting the import of CPPAs to automate the exchange and implementation of structured trading partner agreements.
