Chapter 2 Managing EDI Guidelines : Storing Guidelines and Schemas in the Configuration Store

Storing Guidelines and Schemas in the Configuration Store
Use the Operations Editor tab of the configuration GUI to import and further configure guidelines. After configuration, the guideline file is stored in the TIBCO BusinessConnect Configuration Store.
At run time, the EDI Conversion Engine retrieves the guideline file from the Configuration Store when it receives a message corresponding to the guideline. The guideline is used to validate messages.
Import a Guideline File into the Configuration Store
Import the .sef or .std guideline file into the TIBCO BusinessConnect Configuration Store when you configure a transaction guideline. Select the guideline file when you click change for the Transaction Guideline field.
For information on importing guideline files, see the appropriate sections of the relevant configuration guides.
Import a Schema File into the Configuration Store
Import the schema file into the TIBCO BusinessConnect Configuration Store when you configure a transaction guideline.
Select the schema file when you click change for the Transaction Schema field. You must also input the Request Root Element Name field for the root element of the XSD of the transaction that they are exchanging documents with the trading partner.
For information on importing schema files, see the appropriate sections of the relevant configuration guides.
Import Map files into the Configuration Store
For XML to EDI and EDI to XML translations, import the map files into the TIBCO BusinessConnect Configuration Store when you configure a transaction.
Select the EDI to XML translation Map file (.map) and XML to EDI translation Map file (.map) fields to import the *_EX.map and *_XE.map files.
For information about importing map files, see the appropriate sections of the relevant configuration guides.
Confirm that the Configuration Store is configured correctly
Use EdiConvert to confirm that the Configuration Store is configured correctly. See EdiConvert Utility.
Test your configuration
After configuring your host and trading partner information, you can test your configuration with sample messages.
To do this test, you can either start the TIBCO BusinessConnect engine or use a utility included with TIBCO BusinessConnect EDI Protocol powered by Instream to test your configuration off-line.
With the ediconvert utility, you can confirm that your Configuration Store is configured correctly and that your guideline works properly with your messages. Additionally, you can use the main functionality of the EDI Conversion Engine without starting TIBCO BusinessConnect.
