View Data page

The View Data page contains EDI data for a specified batch.

The View Data page is accessible in the following ways:
  • By clicking on the batch number from the Outbox Detail, Outbox Batch Detail, Search View, Document Outbox View, Inbox View, or Document Inbox View pages.
  • By clicking on the interchange control numbers and group types from the Outbox Detail, Outbox Batch Detail, Search, Document Outbox (for Document Visibility customers) and Document Search (for Document Visibility customers).
  • By clicking on the document type on Document Inbox (for Document Visibility customers) and Document Search (for Document Visibility customers).
Note: Refer to the table below for additional information on accessing the View Data page.

Use the View Data page to do the following tasks:

  • Access batch detail information for the specified records within the interchange.
  • Check for transmission errors.
  • View information in EBCDIC or ASCII format.
  • View information with Hex on or off.
  • Download information that appears on the View Data page. Depending on the view from which you arrived on the View Data page, this could be all of the inbound data, a particular inbound interchange, a particular inbound group, a particular inbound document, or an outbound interchange. The Sterling Document Tracking Outbox views allow downloads for the entire batch, interchange, group, or document. Inbox views can only view and download the entire batch.
    Note: Sterling Document Tracking has a data size limit for downloads. The amount of data in the inbound batch could be very large, especially if it is non-EDI data.
