Introduction to TIBCO Foresight® EDISIM®

EDISIM® Components

EDISIM has the following components to help you increase productivity and reduce risks associated with EDI:

  • Standards Editor lets you start with a published standard and create your own customized guideline or MIG from it. These feed into all other parts of EDISIM and into all other TIBCO Foresight products.

  • Document Builder prints a finished guideline or MIG created with Standards Editor. You can give this document to each party involved in the trading relationship.

  • EDISIM Validator1 checks EDI data for compliance to a published standard or a guideline or MIG created with Standards Editor. These include flat file, EANCOM, EDIFACT, HIPAA EDI, X12, VICS, UCS, NCPDP, NSF, UB92, and XML. This is a newer validation tool than Analyzer and supports more business rules.

    • Analyzer* EDI data for compliance to a published standard or a guideline or MIG created with Standards Editor. These include EANCOM, EDIFACT, GENCOD, HIPAA EDI, X12, VICS, UCS, ODETTE, and TRADACOMS.

    • Standards Reference is a read-only version of Standards Editor, allowing you to safely review and share the details about a guideline, without fear of unwanted changes.

    • Library* is a guideline viewer that shows all parts of the selected item in a convenient, one-screen display. It also teams up with EDISIM Validator to show the relevant guideline specifications for each diagnostic or line of data.

    • Test Data Generator* lets you create test EDI data based on published standards, or guidelines and MIGs created with Standards Editor.

    • Comparator2 lets you compare two published standards, guidelines, or MIGs. You get a report of the differences, which you can browse on the screen or print. You can selectively or globally migrate user changes from one guideline to another.
