Using the EDIINT ID Match Option
If you do not want to use the external ID types EDIINT AS1, EDIINT AS2, or EDIINT AS3 in your profiles, turn off the EDIINT ID Match option. Otherwise, leave this option turned on.
If you fail to set this option appropriately, you may get unpredictable results when trying to match external IDs. For example, if you define a profile with three external ID types that have identical values as follows:
External ID type
Value
EDIINT AS2
987654321
EDIINT AS3
987654321
User Defined
987654321
and you send an EDIINT document with the following headers:
AS2-From: 123456789
AS2-To: 987654321
the EDIINT ID Match option controls the external ID matching as follows:
When EDIINT ID Match is...
The matching external ID...
On
Is EDIINT AS2.
Off
Could be any of the three IDs; you cannot predict which one will match.
*To set the EDIINT ID Match option
1. Open Integration Server Administrator if it is not already open.
2. In the Solutions menu of the navigation panel, click EDIINT.
Integration Server Administrator opens a new browser window to display the Module for EDIINT home page.
3. In the navigation panel of the Module for EDIINT home page, click Configuration.
4. Specify how to match external IDs as follows:
Do this...
To have Module for EDI try to match...
Select the EDIINT ID Match check box
Both the external ID value and the external ID type.
Clear the EDIINT ID Match check box
Only the external ID value.
Note:
You can also set this option in My webMethods by configuring the EDIINTIDMatch EDIINT property. For more information, see Configuring EDIINT Properties.
