Hello all

I finally got access to webMethods MFT and B2B tenants in iPaaS.
In MFT user config, should I be able to link users to partners defined in wM B2B ? If I try to use the Search, I get the message "webMethods.io B2B partners not available". 
What is required to link these tenants together?
I've looked for this in the documentation but haven't found anything.
I found info on the docs for the on-prem products: webMethods Active Transfer and webMethods Trading Networks here: here

There is a section "How does Active Transfer work with Trading Networks" and it mentions setting the following properties:
mft.partners.useTNPartners. This parameter enables the use of Trading Networks partners configured in Trading Networks instead of ActiveTransfer partners.
Note:
To make any new Trading Networks partner available in ActiveTransfer, reload the WmMFT package or run the Integration Server service wm.mft.assets.partner.syncPartnerProfiles.
These parameters are not exposed to the users as far as I know since the iPaaS products are hosted.
Does this require a ticket to be opened with support or am I missing something else?
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
Regards
Wayne

I found out from IBM product management team that webMethods MFT (iPaaS) does not yet have the ability to pull webMethods B2B (iPaaS) partner profiles.  This capability is on the roadmap.

So for now, this is a manual process with wM MFT.
