Validation Error Reporting

TIBCO BusinessConnect™ Container Edition - EDI Protocol powered by Instream® reports validation errors in different ways.

• Generates EDI acknowledgments reporting the errors
• Creates entries in the audit log indicating the errors
• Sends error advisory messages to the private process

The EDI acknowledgments contain information on the type and location of the validation errors according to each EDI standard. For information on EDI acknowledgments, see, Acknowledgments and Reconciliation.

The audit log contains more descriptive error information along with the location of the error in the EDI data. When a transaction contains a validation error, the state and status of the last event in the audit log for the transaction will also indicate that a validation error occurred. In this way, the audit log can easily be searched for validation errors.

For information on how to view the audit log, Viewing Logs.

Error advisory messages to the private process also contain a more descriptive validation error message. The trading partner, transaction, and error location inside of the transaction are all communicated in the error advisory message. The private process can use the advisory to trigger alternate error handling for the transaction in question.

For information on the messages sent to the private process, see, Private Messages.
