An EDI document contains information, within the document, about the sender and the recipient of the document. WebSphere Partner Gateway uses this information when it routes the EDI document. The general flow is as follows:
Code | Document type | Document type protocol | Outbound as Content Type: |
---|---|---|---|
ISA | X12 | EDI-X12 | application/EDI-X12 |
GS | X12 | EDI-X12 | application/EDI-X12 |
UNB | Edifact | EDI-EDIFACT | application/EDIFACT |
UNA | Edifact | EDI-EDIFACT | application/EDIFACT |
ICS | ICS | EDI-X12 | application/EDI-X12 |
STX | UNTDI | EDI-Consent | application/edi-consent |
BG | UCS | EDI-Consent | application/edi-consent |
Code | From Qualifier | From ID | To Qualifier | To ID | EDI component support notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
ISA | Element 105 at position 5 | Element 107 at position 6 | Element 105 at position 7 | Element 106 at position 8 | Supported |
GS | N/A | Element 142 at position 2 | N/A | Element 124 at position 3 | "GS-only" addressing not supported |
UNB UNA | Sub-element 0007 at position 2 of composite element S002 at position 20 (2nd composite) of the UNB segment | Sub-element 0004 at position 2 of composite element S002 at position 20 (2nd composite) of the UNB segment | Sub-element 0007 at position 2 of composite element S003 at position 30 (3rd composite) of the UNB segment | Sub-element 0010 at position 1 of composite element S003 at position 30 (3rd composite) of the UNB segment | Supported |
ICS | Element X05 at position 4 | Element X06 at position 5 | Element X05 at position 6 | Element X08 at position 7 | Precursor to ISA - Not supported |
STX | Element FROM1 at position 3 | Element FROM2 at position 3 | Element UNT1 at position 4 | Element UNT2 at position 4 | Not supported in this release |
BG | N/A | Element BG03 at position 3 | N/A | Element BG04 at position 4 | Supported |
Note that some EDI envelopes (for example, GS) do not have the notion of qualifiers. In this case, WebSphere Partner Gateway uses only the ID.
