Running the Tutorial

To run the tutorial, you must send the 850 transaction from TIBCO Business Studio and check the sending results.

Send the 850 transaction from TIBCO Business Studio. See Sending the 850 Transaction.
Check the results of sending the message. See Expected Results and Viewing the Audit Log.

This process performs the following operations:

Reads a file containing XML data for a 850 transaction.
Parses the 850 XML data.
Constructs a message containing the 850 XML data, and sends it to TIBCO BusinessConnect™ Container Edition - EDI Protocol powered by Instream®.

Running the Process

This procedure describes how to run the process.

In the Project Explorer, right-click the process and then select Run As option from the menu.

Expected Results

When the 850 transaction is received by TIBCO BusinessConnect EDI Protocol powered by Instream, several operations are performed.

TIBCO BusinessConnect™ Container Edition - EDI Protocol powered by Instream® converts XML to X12 data.
TIBCO BusinessConnect™ Container Edition - EDI Protocol powered by Instream® validates the X12 data against an 850 guideline
The validated X12 data is bundled into an interchange for sending to the trading partner.
The X12 interchange is written to a file on the local file system when it simulates sending the interchange to the trading partner.

Observations

The Send 850 Txn activity of the Send 850 Txn To BC.process contains the output indicating that the 850 transaction is successfully sent to the trading partner.

The c:\testEDI\out directory contains a file, which contains the X12 850 transaction that is sent to the trading partner by TIBCO BusinessConnect™ Container Edition - EDI Protocol powered by Instream®.
The audit log contains entries for each processing state that occurs in TIBCO BusinessConnect. For details, see Viewing the Audit Log.
After 24 hours, TIBCO BusinessConnect™ Container Edition - EDI Protocol powered by Instream® sends an acknowledgment timeout error advisory to TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks. For this tutorial, it is not necessary to wait for this advisory message to arrive.
