Overview
| Important: You cannot use the EDI batching feature if you are using non-standard processing. For more information about processing levels, see “Using Standard or Non-Standard Processing” in webMethods Module for EDI Concepts Guide . p |
The EDI batching feature uses webMethods Trading Networks (Trading Networks) scheduled delivery. That is, you set up a public scheduled delivery queue that will receive the EDI documents that you want to batch into a batch EDI document. You define processing rules that use the Deliver Document By processing action to place EDI documents into the scheduled delivery queue.
When you define the scheduled delivery, you associate it with a service. To batch EDI documents, you use the wm.b2b.editn.batch:batchProcess service, which is provided with webMethods Module for EDI (Module for EDI). The batchProcess service acts on the EDI documents in the scheduled delivery queue to create a batch EDI document.
Trading Networks uses large document handling for batching EDI documents. For more information about large document handling, see
Handling Large Documents When Using
Trading Networks .
Note: You cannot batch VDA documents.
