Chapter 2 Tutorials — Getting Started : Overview

Overview
In the three tutorials presented in this chapter, you will use ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks and TIBCO BusinessConnect EDI Protocol powered by Instream running on one machine to send a TEXT message to a trading partner.
The tutorial TEXT_DATA describes sending a TEXT message, while the TEXT_to_EDI describes sending a TEXT message that gets converted either in EDIFACT or in X12 format.
Normally the trading partner is represented by another BusinessConnect engine running on another machine. However, this tutorial is run on a single machine (Initiator) and when the TEXT is sent to the trading partner or converted to EDI, the transport properties are defined to store the request in a directory on the local file system.
The following sections describe how to set up and run the tutorials. The steps involved in setting up TIBCO BusinessConnect EDI Protocol powered by Instream to run the tutorials are the same steps that have been discussed in TIBCO BusinessConnect EDI Protocol powered by Instream User’s Guide, Chapter 2, "Managing EDI Guidelines" and Chapter 3, "Exchanging Documents.".
TEXT_DATA Tutorial
When you run the tutorial, the following steps occur:
1.
2.
3.
4.
TEXT_to_EDI Tutorials
When you run these tutorials, the following steps occur:
1.
BC_HOME/protocols/tibedi/samples/sampleDocs/ Delimited_D99A_ORDERS.dat (for EDIFACT)
BC_HOME/protocols/tibedi/samples/sampleDocs/ Positional_4040_850.dat (for X12)
2.
3.
The converted EDI data is sent by the EDIFACT (or X12) primary transport; the TEXT protocol’s primary transport has no effect on this transaction.
TIBCO BusinessConnect EDI Protocol powered by Instream translates TEXT to EDI based on the TEXT .xsd, TEXT guidelines, and the TEXT translation maps provided in the Operations Editor. Then it validates TEXT data and EDI data converted from TEXT against the guideline for this operation.
