Validating the EDIFACT Document Schema

Trading Networks 10.3 | Administering and Monitoring B2B Transactions | webMethods Module for EDI | Preparing to Process Inbound Non-TRADACOMS Documents Using Trading Networks | Specifying EDITPA Variables that Affect Inbound Processing | Validating the EDIFACT Document Schema

Module for EDI determines the syntax version number, the syntax release number, and the directory version number of the incoming EDIFACT document and validates the envelope using the most specific schema available. The name of the most specific schema contains the syntax version number, the syntax release number, and the directory version number. The name of the least specific schema contains only the syntax version number.

The module searches for the appropriate flat file schema to use for the document validation of each incoming EDIFACT document in the following search order priority:

1. EDIFFSchema.Standard.envelope:VSyntaxVersionNumber_DirectoryVersionNumber_Syntax ReleaseNumber schema

2. EDIFFSchema.Standard.envelope:VSyntaxVersionNumber_DirectoryVersionNumber schema

3. EDIFFSchema.Standard.envelope:VSyntaxVersionNumber schema

4. wm.b2b.editn.rec:EDIHEADERS (default document type)

Module for EDI uses the most specific schema that exists. If the module does not find any of the listed schemas, the module uses the default wm.b2b.editn.rec:EDIHEADERS document type. Only the wm.b2b.editn.rec:EDIHEADERS document type is available when you install the module. You must install the more specific EDIFACT schemas.
