EDI Configuration view

Administration EDI EDI Configuration EDI Configuration view

The EDI Configuration view displays the EDI configurations for the current scope level. You can add EDI trading partners, mailboxes, sessions and job schedules from this view.

In addition, you can use the Actions menu to:

• Export SNX File: Export the selected entity as an XML file using the snx.xsd format.

If you do not select any entity in the left pane or if you select the complex before you select Actions Export SNX File, N4 exports all the entities in one XML file.

If you select a node, such as a trading partner, and then select Actions Export SNX File, N4 exports only the selected entity in the XML file.

• Recover Obsolete (on page 1): Recover deleted EDI configurations.

The EDI configuration tree in the left pane of this view displays the EDI trading partners for each operator, and the associated EDI mailboxes and EDI sessions for each trading partner. Also, the existing EDI job schedules are displayed for each EDI session. Click the plus to the left of the folder you wish to view to expand the tree.

Each operator using EDI must have at least one EDI trading partner defined. For information on defining EDI trading partners, see EDI Trading Partner form (on page 1).

Each EDI trading partner defined must have:

• At least one EDI mailbox defined. An EDI mailbox can be associated to one or more EDI sessions for the same direction, such as an outbound mailbox associated to one or more outbound sessions. For more information on defining EDI mailboxes, see EDI Mailbox form (on page 1).

• At least one EDI session defined. An EDI session must be associated with one primary mailbox, and can also be associated with additional mailboxes if necessary. For more information on defining an EDI session, see EDI Session form (on page 1).

Optionally, each EDI session can have one or more EDI job schedules defined. For more information on defining EDI jobs, see EDI Job form (on page 1).

In the EDI Configurations view, you must select a operator to add an EDI trading partner, select an EDI trading partner to add an EDI mailbox or EDI session, and select an EDI session to add an EDI job schedule.

For more information on EDI processes, see Processes tab (on page 1).

To add an entity below a selected hierarchy level:

1. In the left pane, select the hierarchy level below which you need to add an entity.

2. Click Add.

The Add button displays the name of the entity that you can add at the selected level. For example, if you select an operator, the Add EDI Trading Partner button is displayed.

If the Add... button is displayed, it indicates that you can add different types of entities at the same hierarchical level. To display the list of entity types that you can add at the selected level, click the Add... button. For example, if you select an EDI Trading Partner in the left pane, you can add an EDI mailbox, or an EDI session for the selected trading partner.

To expand the hierarchy tree in the left pane and view the new entity, click the plus sign to the left of the selected entity.

To edit or delete an entity:

1. In the left pane, select the entity that you want to edit or delete.

2. Click Edit to edit an entity, or - Delete to delete the entity.

If you delete an entity at a higher level, all the associated entities are also deleted. For example, if you delete an EDI session, the associated EDI job schedules are also deleted.
