Required permissions	ISV Connections - edit

Follow these steps to create a new ISV connection:

1 Step 1: Navigate to ISV Connections
2 Step 2: General tab
3 Step 3: Vendor tab
4 Step 4: Pricefx tab
5 Step 5: Email Notifications

Step 1: Navigate to ISV Connections

Go to Account tab > ISV Connections (requires the ISV Connections - edit permission).
Click the Create Connection button in the top-right corner.
Switch between General, Vendor and Pricefx tabs and fill and save the required information.

Step 2: General tab

Fill out the required fields in the General tab:

Field	Description

Field	Description
Name	A unique name for the connection.
Vendor	Select the vendor from the dropdown list (e.g., `ENABLE`).
Partition	Choose the partition you want to connect from the dropdown list. The partition must have the required information assigned in Salesfx. If this information is missing, the following error message will be displayed: "Information about the Enable channel is missing in Salesfx for the selected partition. Ask the responsible person to fill it in." In the Vendor tab, the values for the fields Channel ID, Base URL, SFTP URL, SFTP Port, and SFTP Username will be automatically prefilled based on the selected partition.
SAML Configuration	Select the appropriate SAML configuration. Default is the `DEFAULT` SAML configuration. You can set the SAML configuration on your Pricefx partition (see Configure SAML in Pricefx for more details).
Status	Choose the connection status: Active: The connection is enabled. Stopped: The connection is inactive.

After completing the General tab, click the Continue button (or Save in case you are editing the existing connection).

Step 3: Vendor tab

In the Vendor tab, you can view vendor-specific details for the ISV connection, the channel and SFTP settings. All values (except password) are loaded from Salesfx based on the selected partition in the previous step.

The Channel ID and Base URL values are sent to the Pricefx partition upon saving the dialog. Values are stored in JSON in Advanced Configuration Options under the isvConnection_pages option. When the ISV connection is deleted, the configuration is removed from the partition's Advanced Configuration Options.

Channel Configuration

Field	Description

Field	Description
Channel ID	A unique identifier for the channel. This field is required and must match the identifier used in the vendor system.
Base URL - Trading Programs	The base URL for the Enable’s Trading Programs.
Base URL - Collaborator	The base URL for the Enable’s Collaborator.
Resend to partition button	You can resend the configuration data (Channel ID and Base URL) to the Pricefx partition using this button. If any channel parameters are updated in Salesfx, click the Resend to Partition button to ensure the connection reflects the latest settings.

SFTP Configuration

Field	Description

Field	Description
URL	The SFTP server URL used for data transfer.
Port	The port used for SFTP communication.
Username	The username required to authenticate with the SFTP server.
Password	Enter the password for the SFTP user account.

After completing the Vendor tab, click the Continue button (or Save in case you are editing the existing connection).

Step 4: Pricefx tab

The Pricefx tab provides configuration settings for the Pricefx SFTP server, where the files from Enable to Pricefx are exported and displays the Pricefx SFTP server address and the port for SFTP communication. Allows you to copy the server address to the clipboard easily.

Users

The table displays the list of users who can access the Pricefx SFTP server.
Existing users are displayed in the Username column. You can edit user’s credential by opening three-dots menu > Edit.

Clicking the Add User button opens the Add User dialog, where new user credentials can be added.

'Add User'/'Edit User' Dialog

Allows you to create a user who will have access to the Pricefx SFTP server. Below are the fields available for configuration:

Username (Required): Enter the desired username. The interface adds a prefix based on the connection name.
Password (Required): Set a password for the user. You can toggle password visibility using the eye icon.
Fingerprint:
Displays the SSH key fingerprint information for added keys.
+ Add SSH Key button: Use this button to add an SSH key for secure access.

Click the Add button to create the user and apply the configuration, or the Cancel button to exit the dialog without saving changes.

Step 5: Email Notifications

In this tab, you can configure email notifications for data transfer results between Pricefx and Enable for the specified ISV connection, allowing you to receive alerts, such as when a data transfer fails.

Field	Description

Field	Description
E-mail	Specifies the email address where notifications will be sent.
Notify about data transfer directions	Defines the direction of data transfer for which notifications are required (i.e., All directions, Pricefx to Enable, or Enable to Pricefx).
Success results	Enables notifications for successful data transfers.
Error results	Enables notifications for failed data transfers.
Add another e-mail	Allows additional email addresses to be added for receiving notifications.

After making any changes (this also includes removing a notification by clicking the red trash bin icon next to the E-mail field), you must click the Save button to apply these changes.

When all required fields are properly filled and the settings are saved, you will receive an e-mail notification every time a data transfer is completed with the specified result.
