Delivering the Batched Document
After the batchProcess service forms the final batched EDI document, it routes the document back to Trading Networks processing rules for delivery. The following diagram illustrates the process for delivering a batched EDI document. For more information, see the table after the diagram.
Delivering a batch EDI document
Step
Description
1
The batchProcess service forms the final outbound EDI document as described in Creating the Batched EDI Documents. The batchProcess service then creates a BizDocEnvelope for the final outbound EDI document and places it in the pipeline in the bizdoc variable. It then routes the BizDocEnvelope to the Trading Networks processing rules.
2
After forming the BizDocEnvelope, Trading Networks determines the processing rule to use to deliver the outbound batch EDI document. You create the processing rule to define how you want to deliver the document. For example, you can invoke a service that you create to deliver the batch EDI document, or you can deliver the batch EDI document to a VAN as described in Outbound Processing: Delivering Documents to VANs.
For more information about defining processing rules to deliver outbound batch EDI documents, see webMethods Module for EDI Installation and User’s Guide.
