Translating
inbound data
process
The system uses the following process to translate inbound data:.
Stage Description
1
The Communicator receives interchanges from your trading partners
via a network.
2
The Communicator passes the interchanges to the translator.
3
The translator uses a system interchange break translation object to
unwrap the interchange envelopes and separate each group into
temporary storage.
4
The translator uses a system group break translation object to
unwrap the group envelopes and separate each transaction set into
temporary storage.
5
The translator uses a system transaction break translation object to:
◗ Unwrap the transaction envelopes.
◗ Separate each document into a separate file on the system data
store.
◗ Write a record to the database with reference information about
the document.
6
Does the translator locate a trading relationship for each document?
◗ If yes (a trading relationship is located), the translator attempts
to identify the export, document turnaround, or print translation
object associated with that relationship. If the translator does
locate a trading relationship and translation object, it uses that
translation object to compliance check the document.
◗ If no (the translator does not locate the trading relationship or
translation object), the document is marked as not compliant and
is moved in the ?In Documents.
7
Is the document is compliant with the EDI standard?
◗ If yes, the translator changes the document status to compliant
and moves the document in the In Documents.
◗ If no, the document remains in the ?In Documents. The
translator writes a detailed error report to help you to determine
the problem that was encountered.
