Transaction Set (ST) Processing

Parsing is done for each file with one ISA and one GS and one ST segment.

The file is processed in the following steps.

Split the file into separate files for each transaction set (single ST).

Create a DX event for every file and attach the file to the DX event.

Parse the files to Informatica canonical xml format and add that output to the event.

Event attributes are also extracted and can be reviewed from the event attributes tab of the event.

Transactions in XML format and in EDI text format are uploaded to a Queue to be consumed later by a Customer Specific mapping. A mapping is provided that reads the queue. If needed, customer specific mapping can be added there.

The EDI-X12 library includes parsing to EDI-X12 Informatica canonical XML format. To map the Informatica canonical XML format to customer-specific formats, you can create and configure a DT Mapper and/or DT Serializer. For more information about how to create a DT Mapper or a DT Serializer, see the

Data Transformation User Guide.

Note that converting from Canonical XML, to load the data into the backend systems, needs to be developed as part of the project implementation, and is beyond the scope of the EDI Accelerator.

Event statuses

DX Event Status	Description
Transaction initiated	Start processing of EDI document type
Transaction processed	EDI document has been parsed

Event types

The event type format is '<edi document identifier> (ST)'. For example, the event type will be '810 (ST)
' for EDI Document 810.

Event attributes

DX Event Attribute	Description
GS_control_number	Functional Group control number as appears in GS\R06
ISA_control_number	Interchange control number as appears in ISA\R13
ST_control_number	EDI Document Control Number as appears in ST\R02
ST_transaction_type	EDI Document type as appears in ST\R01

The following table describes the specific event attributes extracted per EDI document:

DX Event Attribute Name	Transaction Name	Loop ID	Segment ID	Element ID	EDI Name
Invoice_Number	810		BIG	02	Invoice Number
Purchase_Order_Number	810		BIG	04	Purchase Order Number
Monetary_Amount	810		TDS	01	Monetary Amount
Number_of_Line_Items	810		CTT	01	Number of Line Items
Monetary_Amount	820		BPR	02	Monetary Amount
Purchase_Order_Number	850		BEG	03	Purchase Order Number
Number_of_Line_Items	850	CTT	CTT	01	Number of Line Items
Monetary_Amount	850	CTT	AMT	02	Monetary Amount
Purchase_Order_Number	855		BAK	03	Purchase Order Number
Number_of_Line_Items	855	CTT	CTT	01	Number of Line Items
Monetary_Amount	855	CTT	AMT	02	Monetary Amount
Shipment_Identification	856		BSN	02	Shipment Identification
Number_of_Line_Items	856		CTT	01	Number of Line Items
