Guys,
I’m new to EDI and EDIINT processing in the wM.
I have a conceptual question, and I hope that you guys can help me.
Assume the following scenario:
Assume the IS has TN, EDIforTN, EDIINT pkgs installed.
A VAN sends a TN EDIINT envelope, containing one or many EDI docs, grouped by the EDI doc type (ex.: X12 820, X12 850, etc.) to the TN (A), and this TN has a processing rule (Criteria - Doc type=ANY) that invokes a delivery service that routes to another TN (B) for further processing.
Assume that the T A’s processing rule has the appropriate Receiver and has the doc type selection set to “Any”. This processing rule calls a custom delivery service (wihich uses the wm.tn.transport:primaryHttp) to actually deliver the doc to the TN B.
This process can be represented by the following diagram:
EDIINT envelope
±Group01-820
| ±-EDIdoc1
| ±-EDIdoc2 → TN A --routes–> TN B → further processing
±Group02-850 triggers a
±-EDIdoc3 Processing
±-EDIdoc4 Rule
Now, the questions:
- what “object” the TN A will forward? The whole EDIINT envelope or each of the EDI documents it contains?
- when sending single EDI doc (using the IS Admin | EDI solution | Send EDI doc) to the TN A, I noticed in TN B the transaction log there are entries showing “Envelope” and “Group” processing.
Why these entries exist? It is due the TN A envelopes again the EDI doc when routing it to TN B or the TN actually routes the whole EDIINT?
They keep happening even when I change the processing rule to match only the 820s and 850s.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
