Stage Description
1
Your trading partner creates a data file (in which ContentType is set
to Application/EDI. An associated message ID is created in the
Outbox.
2
Your partner sends it to your Gentran Application Inbox, which
creates a new target message ID.
3
The CommMgr (the Gentran:Server Executive service) recognizes
the ContentType as Application/EDI. It receives the data and stores
the external data reference in the ExtData_tb in the same way as
described in the previous section, except that since CommMgr
receives the data, it saves this database entry.
4
The CommMgr builds a temporary session file using the
GDW_Process_MBFile command for unattended processing to
execute, and Process Control invokes Commpost.
5
Commpost builds the IPC file, which includes writing the external
data key and the start and end offset indicators in the transmission
file for the given interchange.
6
Commpost invokes the Translator for each interchange to finish
processing the data, and writes the entry in the ExtDataXref_tb to
link the external data reference to the Gentran data.
