Information in the Pipeline that Your Service Can Access When Using TRADACOMS
When a transmission, batch, or file document is passed to the processing rule, the following information is accessible to your service from the pipeline:
*BizDocEnvelope in the bizdoc variable. Use the BizDocEnvelope to retrieve information that Trading Networks maintains about the document. The BizDocEnvelope adheres to the wm.tn.rec:BizDocEnvelope IS document type. It is also an instance of com.wm.app.tn.doc.BizDocEnvelope. For more information about the BizDocEnvelope, see the webMethods Trading Networks Built-In Services Reference for your release.
The following table lists some of the variables within the BizDocEnvelope.
Variable
Description
DocumentID
The EDI transmission control number/file generation number from the transmission, batch, or file header as described in DocumentID.
Attributes
The custom attributes that were set for the document. For information about the custom attributes that Module for EDI sets, see Custom Attributes that Module for EDI Sets When Using TRADACOMS.
Errors
The errors that Trading Networks and Module for EDI encountered while processing the document.
* EDI document summary information in the envelopeDocuments variable. When Trading Networks originally receives the EDI document, it passes it to the EDI recognizer, which parses the EDI document. This EDI document summary is the result of the parse. It is the entire original EDI document as an IData object.
You can use the EDI document summary information to derive a total document count or to determine when all of the documents in the original EDI document have completed processing. To do so, your service can perform a simple count of the original documents and a count of the documents processed. When these counts match, processing of the entire original EDI document is complete. You also can perform a query within Trading Networks that checks the status of each document using the Trading Networks internal ID for each document.
The following table shows the structure of the EDI document summary information in the envelopeDocuments variable.
