Chapter 3 Managing EDIFACT Interchanges, Functional Groups, and Messages : Adding a Message to a Group Version

Adding a Message to a Group Version
Once you have configured your interchange and group versions, you can configure the EDIFACT message:
1.
2.
Click New Message.
The Operation Type list is displayed with Notification selected.
The Operation Type selection cannot be modified because only notification transactions are supported by the EDIFACT protocol; synchronous request-response transactions are not supported.

Figure 16 Edit Notification Message
Notification Message Tab
To configure the Notification message, enter information into the following tabs:
General Tab
Guideline Tab
Click change to select the guideline file associated with this message type. Then, follow the procedure described in the section File Specification Dialog in TIBCO BusinessConnect Trading Partner Administration.
Click change to select the Validator profile file.
EDI to XML   This is the default value.
It can be overridden at the business agreement level to do EDI to TEXT translation (see Table 24, Override Settings for a Transaction: Guideline)
EDI to TEXT   When a proper TEXT guideline is uploaded and an appropriate translation map for mapping EDI to TEXT is created, the output is a TEXT file.
Click change to select a guideline file for translating EDIFACT to TEXT.
Schema Tab
Click change to select the schema file associated with this message type.
Click change to select the EDI to XML or EDI to TEXT translation map file associated with this message type.
Click change to select the XML to EDI translation map file associated with this message type. Note that XML to EDI translation map files have an extension _XE.map.
Outbound Action Tab
To configure the outbound action for the Notification transaction, enter information into the following tabs:
Always  This is the default option.
If Scheduled Transmission is enabled in the Scheduled Transmission tab of a trading partner's business agreement with the host, all messages of this transaction type for that trading partner will be placed into batches. The batches will be sent based upon the settings in the business agreement's Scheduled Transmission tab. See Overview.
Never  Messages of this transaction type are not to be included in any batches regardless of whether the scheduled transmission has been enabled for a trading partner. All messages of this type will be sent immediately to your trading partners and will bypass the schedule time/batch settings for your trading partners.
Exclusively  When messages of this transaction type are included in a scheduled batch, they will be separated into interchanges containing only messages of this type. This choice allows you to batch transactions based upon transaction type.
 
Acknowledgement Tab
This is the maximum amount of time that TIBCO BusinessConnect will wait for an acknowledgment (CONTRL functional acknowledgment transaction) from your trading partner when a message of this type is sent to your trading partner.
If an acknowledgment is not received within the time limit specified, TIBCO BusinessConnect logs an ACK_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT state for the original message and sends an alert message on the subject.
Normally when an acknowledgment times out, the final status of the original message will be set to ACK TIMEOUT ERROR. If the acknowledgment is received after the timeout period, it will be ignored.
Final status of Completed with a state of ACK_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT is logged for the original message in the case when the acknowledgment for the message is not received before the specified timeout. If you select this and the acknowledgment is received after the timeout, it will be ignored.
For information on configuring acknowledgments, see Chapter 5, Acknowledgments and Reconciliation in TIBCO BusinessConnect EDI Protocol powered by Instream User’s Guide
