Default: false

The persistOriginalEnvelope variable indicates whether to persist the original incoming EDI envelope in Trading Networks before Module for EDI starts processing the EDI envelope.

When the module receives an EDI document from a partner, it processes the transactions first, the groups next, and the envelope last. While processing a large document, if the module fails to process the entire inbound document, it cannot retrieve the original EDI document received from the partner because the envelope is processed last. Module for EDI cannot track these unprocessed inbound documents because the original EDI document received from the partner is not persisted in Trading Networks by default.

When you choose to persist the original incoming EDI document in Trading Networks before Module for EDI starts processing the document, even if the module fails to process the entire document, you can track the original document in Trading Networks and reprocess it in Module for EDI.

If persisting each and every EDI document in Trading Networks before Module for EDI starts processing it slows down your system performance, you can configure the module to process the envelope first by setting the documentPersistOrder variable to EnvelopeFirst. In this case, the module does not persist the original incoming EDI document in Trading Networks. If Module for EDI fails to process the entire inbound document, you can still retrieve the details of the original EDI document received from the partner because the module processes the envelope first and submits it to Trading Networks.
