In order for the system to process incoming data it must be converted
to Universal Message Format (UMF). The process of converting incoming data
to UMF can be accomplished using a variety of tools, including
the basic utilities that are provided with the product or with standard XML
transform products.
Procedure:
- Using the entity model you have created for the system, analyze
your incoming data to see how it fits with the UMF standard. You
must have a clear understanding of existing UMF segments and tags before proceeding
to the next step.
- Configure your conversion utility to produce UMF records that match
your entity model.
- Run the conversion utility.
What to do next:
After converting your data to UMF, you can send the UMF records to
the pipeline for processing.
