Chapter 5 Setting Up Trading Partners : Delimiters Tab

Delimiters Tab
The Delimiters tab allows you to configure record and field delimiters for the EDI TEXT protocol.
The private process sends an XML document for the TEXT protocol in XML format corresponding to the XML schema that was generated from the guideline that defines the structure of the TEXT document. TIBCO BusinessConnect EDI Protocol powered by Instream protocol converts XML to TEXT before publishing the same to the trading partner.
The private process can use either the tpName or the qualifier/ID pairs in the perMessage/interchange/sender and perMessage/interchange/receiver message (both part of INITIATOR.REQUEST) to indicate the trading partner based on the delimiter settings that will be picked up.
The controlNumInfo parameter is completely ignored in the case of the TEXT protocol.
To configure the Delimiters tab, see Table 10.
Customizing Delimiter Settings for an Operation
If you change a delimiter setting, you must modify the file FlatFileInitialDetector.csv, which is located in the folder BC_HOME/protocols/tibedi/config.
You also must add a new row in this .csv file after adding a new transaction in the Operations Editor. This is required in case you want to validate the TEXT document that is translated before sending it to the trading partner.
The Instream engine uses a set of criteria to identify or detect the entries in the file FlatFileInitialDetector.csv, as described in Chapter 1, Overview and Chapter 7, Type Detection.
