Creating the Batched EDI Documents
To set up to form batched EDI documents, you define scheduled delivery queues and processing rules in Trading Networks.
The following diagram illustrates how to form a batched EDI document. For more information, see the table after the diagram.
Forming the batched EDI document
Step
Description
1
EDI document is sent to Trading Networks. For more information about how to form an EDI document and send it to Trading Networks for delivery, see Forming EDI Documents and Sending Them Outbound.
2
Trading Networks uses its processing rules to determine how to process the EDI document. Trading Networks selects a processing rule that you create that uses the Deliver Document By processing action to deliver a document to a scheduled delivery queue associated with the batchProcess service.
For more information about scheduled delivery, see the webMethods Trading Networks Administrator’s Guide for your release. For more information about defining queues for scheduled delivery, see the webMethods Trading Networks User’s Guide for your release.
3
When the schedule that is associated with the queue indicates, Trading Networks invokes the batchProcess service to combine the EDI documents in the queue into the output batch EDI document(s).
The final EDI document is ready for delivery. For more information about how Module for EDI processes the document so it can be delivered, see Delivering the Batched Document.
