B2B Data Exchange Transformations Overview

B2B Data Exchange
Transformations Overview

B2B Data Exchange

transformation is a set of functions that process

B2B Data Exchange

documents

in PowerCenter.

When you install

B2B Data Exchange

, you can install a set of transformations that you use in PowerCenter workflows to process

B2B Data Exchange

documents

. When you create mappings, you can use the transformations to perform the functions that you require in the same way you use other PowerCenter transformations.

B2B Data Exchange

transformations are custom Java transformations that you use to access the

B2B Data Exchange

API without writing Java code. You can use these transformations, the Unstructured Data transformation, and other transformations to

process

B2B Data Exchange

documents

You can also create custom transformations and use the methods in the

B2B Data Exchange

Web Services API to define the transformation behavior.

The following table describes the

B2B Data Exchange
