Message acknowledgements indicate whether a message has been received and whether it is valid.
The HIX library contains services that generate the following types of EDI acknowledgments:
997 acknowledgements
Confirms the receipt and validity of a transaction.
999 acknowledgements
Confirms the receipt and validity of a transaction.
TA1 acknowledgement
Confirms the receipt and validity of the interchange envelope, such as the sender data and receiver data.
Generating 997 or 999 Acknowledgments
You can generate 997 or 999 acknowledgements from the error report output of an HIX parser service. To generate an acknowledgement, run one of the following services from the library:
ACK_997_Generator
ACK_999_Generator
The 997 or 999 acknowledgements are relevant only to parser services.
Generating TA1 Acknowledgments
Use the TA1_Generator to generate acknowledgements. The input is the message text file, as with a parser.
