Overview
In a distributed environment, to handle heavy EDI document processing loads, you can configure some of your servers to do the job of just translating the EDI documents by decoupling Module for EDI from Trading Networks. When you decouple the module from Trading Networks, you only use the core EDI document processing built-in services in the WmEDI package. You can have a centralized Trading Networks server for storing the transactions in your EDI network and routing the EDI documents to your partners.
Using the WmEDI package with only the functionality available in the webMethods Integration Server provides the functionality to:
Process most EDI standards, such as ANSI X12, VICS, UCS, UN/EDIFACT, ODETTE, EANCOM, and VDA
Note:
The WmEDI package does not support TRADACOMS document processing.
Parse, convert, format, and validate EDI documents
Process EDI documents containing multiple interchanges/groups/transactions with multiple versions
Generate functional acknowledgments (FAs), if they are applicable to your standard
Create envelopes for EDI documents
Transport EDI documents using the FTP, HTTP, and HTTPS protocols
