Routing EDIFACT Documents in Productions

To route EDIFACT documents in InterSystems IRIS, configure a business service to pass incoming messages to a routing engine. The production uses virtual document handling and configurable business hosts to direct message flow accurately.

Virtual document handling parses EDIFACT messages into virtual documents for faster processing within IRIS productions. This mechanism integrates with the routing engine to enable schema management, data transformation, and search table indexing.

Yes, InterSystems IRIS supports EDIFACT schema management and data transformation. You can import, view, and manage schemas while configuring business services and operations to transform and route messages based on document content.

You can automatically route EDIFACT purchase orders by configuring a business service and process. The routing engine evaluates document type and content, directing each virtual document to the correct internal system.

The best way to configure an EDIFACT business service is to set it up to route incoming documents to the appropriate process. This leverages the virtual document routing engine to control message flow based on schema rules.

EDIFACT routing failures often stem from missing or incorrect schema management. Ensure schemas are properly imported and configured, and that search table indexing is active so the routing engine can evaluate document content.
