Overview
The WmEDI package of Module for EDI provides built-in services that support functions required by the EDI standard. When you create the service that processes your EDI documents, you add logic to invoke the Module for EDI built-in services. This chapter contains information about how to create the service to process an EDI document. For information about how to process an inbound EDI document, see the webMethods Module for EDI Concepts Guide .
Before you create the service to process EDI documents that are sent to your Integration Server, you must create:
The flat file schema that defines the structure of the EDI document to process.
Module for EDI uses the flat file schema for parsing, converting, and validating an inbound EDI document.
Optionally, the flat file schema that defines the structure of the internal-format document. This is the document that your service will send to your internal application (for example, a back-end system).
Module for EDI provides a service that you can have your service invoke to create your internal-format document based on the flat file schema. Use
Software AG Designer to create the flat file schema. For more information, see
Flat File Schema Developer’s Guide.
