Display Partner Communication Details under Inflight Event Details Section

Currently, We can only see Partner protocol profile ID and communication POD Process ID details at the final delivery step ( Protocol Started Step in Inflight ) while delivering the outbound document to trading partner.


Since these are Internal information only to IBM support team, Client wants to display partner communication information ( For example : SFTP URL, Directory, HTTP URL etc., ). This really helps client to track where we are delivering the document on partner side.


We are already tracking few events such as "Sent", "Picked Up" after the protocol started step in the Inflight. When updating the status back to Inflight, We can enhance the existing SFTP delivery BP's to update the above Partner communication information to process data to track this information under Event Details section in the Inflight.
