EDI Validation

[Former Member]

Hello everyone

did any one implemented edi valdiation scenario

where XI knows to valdiate the EDI message and split the file to good and bad records? we also would like to inform the user about the errors

we are using SAP Conversion Agent to catch the errors from the xml attributes and map them to errors ( constants ) in message mapping

and then we send it to the user

but its not conveient and doesnt handle all the cases

thx , shai

Hi

I have not used SAP Conversion Agent so don't know how to handle simple transformation validation. But if the resulting target is a SAP system then perhaps the best place for business logic validation is within that system. I would use the Conversion Agent to prepare a message for posting to the Target system and then let it (say via IDOC or even RFC processing) have all the Business Logic for validation in that system.

Validation of a edi file is not a business logic

mayb in PI 7.1 the xml of the EDI would be valiaded according to the xsd

any other ideas?

Right, till the current version of XI, there is no option for message validation.

Also as you said is absolutely right, PI 7.1 support the validation of incoming and outgoing message in XI (both from adapter Engine as well as IE.)

thanks
