contains pre-packaged schemas that define the expected structure of an inbound or outbound interface file for EDI messages. Each message type and version has its own schema.
For EDI X12 messages, the Script object can be either a Parser or a Restricted Serializer (
Restricted_Serializer
). For EDIFACT messages, the Script object can be a Serializer (
Serializer
).
If you trace through the schema of an inbound message, you can determine the relationship between the elements of the schema and the interface file. For an outbound message, use the schema to determine the expected structure of an interface file. Before you create an outbound interface file, study the relevant schema for the message type so that you structure the hierarchy correctly.
