Configuring Control Number Settings Using the My webMethods Control Numbers Page
Use this procedure to define control number settings using the My webMethods Control Numbers page.
*To configure control number settings using the Control Numbers page
1. In My webMethods: Administration > Integration > B2B Settings > Control Numbers.
2. Click Add Control Number.
3. If you have set the value of the EDIAllowCustomControlNumberSequence property to
*True or strictCompatibility, select one of the following options in the Define By panel to define the control number:
*Partner name (Default)
*Partner external ID
*False, define the control number for your partner using the corporation name of the partner.
For more information about the EDIAllowCustomControlNumberSequence property, see Defining Module for EDI Properties.
4. In the Control Number Definition panel, specify information that describes when to use the control number as follows:
Field
Description
Sender
The corporation name of the sender. Click Select to select the sender from the partner list. This field is available when:
*The value of the EDIAllowCustomControlNumberSequence property is false.
*The value of the EDIAllowCustomControlNumberSequence property is true or strictCompatibility and you define the control number using Partner name.
Sender ID
The Trading Networks ID for the sender. To determine the ID, you can run the wm.b2b.editn:ediPartnerIDToTNPartnerID service from Software AG Designer. Copy the resulting internal ID from the bottom of the Results tab and paste it into this field.
This field is available when the value of the EDIAllowCustomControlNumberSequence property is true or strictCompatibility and you define the control number using Partner external ID.
Sender Qualifier
Leave this blank. This field is available when the value of the EDIAllowCustomControlNumberSequence property is true or strictCompatibility and you define the control number using Partner external ID.
Receiver
The corporation name of the receiver. Click Select to select the receiver from the partner list. This field is available when:
*The value of the EDIAllowCustomControlNumberSequence property is false.
*The value of the EDIAllowCustomControlNumberSequence property is true or strictCompatibility and you define the control number using Partner name.
Receiver ID
The Trading Networks ID for the receiver. To determine the ID, you can run the wm.b2b.editn:ediPartnerIDToTNPartnerID service from Designer. Copy the resulting internal ID from the bottom of the Results tab and paste it into this field.
This field is available when the value of the EDIAllowCustomControlNumberSequence property is true or strictCompatibility and you define the control number using Partner external ID.
Receiver Qualifier
Leave this blank. This field is available when the value of the EDIAllowCustomControlNumberSequence property is true or strictCompatibility and you define the control number using Partner external ID.
Production Mode
The production mode associated with the interchange or group (or transmission or batch) header for which to use the control number. Specify Production, Test, or Custom.
Note:
For TRADACOMS and VDA, the only valid value is Production.
Standard
The EDI standard of the documents in which to use the control number. Select X12, UNEDIFACT, EANCOM, UCS, VICS, VDA, or TRADACOMS.
Version
The version of the EDI standard. For example, for an ANSI X12 or UN/EDIFACT interchange the version might be 00401 and for a group it might be 4010. For a TRADACOMS batch or transmission, the version can only be 1. For a TRADACOMS file, specify the version of the file document type.
Group Type
Whether the control number is to be used for an interchange (or transmission) header or a group (or batch) header.
*Select Envelope if you are adding a control number for an interchange-level (or transmission-level) document.
*Select Select if you are adding a control number for a group-level (or batch-level) document that has a specific group type, and then in the Select Group Type box, type one of the following:
*For non-TRADACOMS documents: the name of the group (for example, PO or IN)
*For TRADACOMS documents: the name of the batch or file type (for example, INVHDR or ORDHDR)
*Select All if you are adding a control number that applies to all group-level documents.
5. In the Settings panel, specify information that describes the value to use for the control number as follows:
Field
Description
Duplicate Detection Window
A number that indicates a range of numbers that Module for EDI uses to determine whether a number is duplicate or out-of-sequence.
Next Control Number
The next control number that you expect for the interchange or group (or transmission or batch) to use.
Increment
The value that Module for EDI uses to increment the control number to determine the next expected control number.
Minimum
The lowest number that the control number can be.
Maximum
The highest number that the control number can be. If Module for EDI calculates the next expected control number and that number is greater than the control number maximum, Module for EDI sets the control number to the value you specify in the Minimum field.
Note:
When setting the values for Maximum, Minimum, and Window, the difference between Maximum and Minimum must be at least two times as large as the value you specify for Window.
6. Click Save & Close. Module for EDI adds the control number information you defined to the EDIControlNumber table.
