Foresight REST Server
The EDI Conversion Engine in TIBCO BusinessConnect™ Container Edition - EDI Protocol powered by Instream® performs various tasks.
- Inbound EDI documents
- Validates EDI data using the .sef or .std guideline file.
- Converts each EDI file into separate XML objects for each transaction in the inbound file.
- Parses EDI files and extracts the various fields.
- Creates functional acknowledgments as needed.
- Outbound EDI document
- Converts XML objects to EDI.
- Validates EDI data using the .sef or .std guideline file.
Outbound XML to EDI conversion is available for the X12 standards.
The EDI Conversion Engine uses EDI guideline files in the Configuration Store to parse, validate, and convert inbound EDI documents to XML and outbound XML to EDI documents.
Outbound validation occurs for both the envelope and the transaction information. For example, for X12, the interchange and group level fields are retrieved from the entries in the TIBCO BusinessConnect Container Edition. These fields are validated for outbound messages.
The interchange and group level fields are retrieved from the TIBCO BusinessConnect Container Edition only if the outbound document is XML.
