Converting data to UMF

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:
  1. 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.
  2. Configure your conversion utility to produce UMF records that match your entity model.
  3. 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.
