Document Processing Customization with Profiles

Document Processing Customization with Profiles

Normally, B2B Data Exchange receives documents from multiple partners for processing, and processes documents to send to multiple partners. Documents from different partners can require the same PowerCenter transformation but with customized handling needs. For example, not all customers that require transformation of EDI documents to COBOL files also require acknowledgment documents.
Profiles enable you to customize the transformation process according to parameters that define the transformation process.
You can use the following parameter types:
  • Validation parameters.
     Data validation within the document. For example, the parameter can set the control sequence number or determine the version of an EDI document.
  • Enrichment parameters.
     Values to add to the document. For example, the parameter can contain data for the EDI ISA control envelope when an EDI output is generated.
  • Control parameters.
     Evaluate various conditions during the transformation. For example, the parameter can control how to generate an EDI acknowledgement or how to process documents in a test environment.
The following diagram shows how profiles customize the transformation process:
