Example of an outbound interface file for EDI X12 messages

The outbound interface file for EDI X12 messages contains a root element, message type element, loop elements, segment elements, and data elements.

The following XML represents an interface file for an outbound message of type 810:

<x12:interchange xmlns:x12="http://www.informatica.com/B2B/X12/4010">

	</x12:TS_810>
</x12:interchange>

The root element for an outbound interface file is specified as

<x12:interchange>

to identify the message as an EDI X12 message. The message type element

<x12:TS_810>

identifies the message as message type 810.

If you trace through the interface file, you can determine the relationship between the elements of the file. The hierarchy contains different IT1 loop elements that contain PID loop elements, and a SAC loop element.

The interface file also contains segment elements with data elements.
