have realized that the envelopes for the messages are being generated by BizTalk and have created parties and
agreements for each of your trading partners. You want to ensure that the EdiSend component of the EDI pipeline uses
the correct party settings to populate the interchange envelopes – which is determined by the party name contained
within a node inside the original message. What is one step that you use to accomplish this task?
