New Features Available in EDI Integrator V9!
The new EDI Integrator (previously IP*Works! EDI V8) has been updated with all new EDI (X12 and EDIFACT)
mapping and translation capabilities. EDI Integrator includes two all new EDI components that can be used to parse
and generate EDI (X12 and EDIFACT) data:
- EDIReader: Parses an incoming EDI document (X12 or EDIFACT) so you may read the data in the document.
This component can either load an entire document at once, or streaming portions of the document. Loading the entire
document at once allows developers to use the XPath property to easily navigate the document. For larger documents,
developers can choose to streamline parsing and only sections of the document.
- EDIWriter: Generates new EDI documents (X12 or EDIFACT) from scratch.
The EDI writer component allows you to create a document from scratch, one segment at a time.
Flexible Schema Support
There is no single official standard for EDI Schemas, and the EDIReader and EDIWriter components were designed with
this in mind. Rather than require the use of a custom schema format, or require a single schema type, the EDIReader and
EDIWriter support multiple, common, schema formats. This allows for easier integration with existing EDI processing
applications.
EDI Integrator includes support for the following schemas:
The components also support parsing an EDI or X12 document without loading a schema. In this scenario you can traverse
the document using the XPath property. Note that when using this approach the organization and loop structures of the
segments within the transaction are not known.
New Components and Other Enhancements
In addition to the new EDI reading and writing capabilities, the following additional features
are now available in this release:
- AS2 Component Update: Now includes Drummond tested support for 'AS2 Restart' capabilities.
- NEW: SFTP Component: The SFTP component can be used to transfer files to and from SFTP servers using the SFTP Protocol.
- NEW: XMLp Component: SAX2 compliant XML parser with support for XPath DOM traversal and XML structure validation.
The EDI Integrator includes support for all major protocols for secure EDI-INT including AS1, AS2, AS3, OFTP, FTPS, SFTP, RNIF 2.0,
and NAESB/GISB.
