Overview TIBCO BusinessConnect EDI Protocol powered by Instream provides several features, all of which can be used to implement EDI exchanges between business partners. Not all features will be used in all configurations. For example, though TIBCO BusinessConnect EDI Protocol powered by Instream includes validation and conversion, if an alternate validation and conversion method is already present in the system, that existing method can continue to be used along with its other components. This chapter contains a description of the main features and how to use them to exchange files between trading partners.
