Overview

This chapter provides instructions to create, import, export, and work with EDI X12 inbound and outbound applications using iWay Integration Tools (iIT). In addition, you will learn how to create an iWay Integration Application (iIA) for deployment based on the sample data.

What will the Application do?

The iIAs will be used to transform EDI X12 to XML for inbound processing and XML to EDI X12 for outbound processing.

The inbound application channel creates an XML representation of a EDI X12 (ANSI X12N formatted) inbound message, a functional acknowledgement (997), and an XML-formatted validation report. The documents are routed to designated folders based on the success or failure results of the transformation and EDI X12 validation.

The outbound application channel creates an ANSI X12N formatted EDI X12 message from XML and a XML-formatted validation report. The documents are routed to designated folders based on success or failure of transformation and EDI X12 validation.
