Enhance EDI Performance

You can boost EDI performance in Sterling B2B Integrator by adjusting the tracking level in the enveloping.properties file.

About this task

The tracking level setting affects the following EDI functionalities:
  • EDI Correlation Search
  • EDI Document Tracking
  • EDI Reporting

To modify the tracking level:

Procedure

  1. In the install_dir/properties directory, locate the enveloping.properties.in file.
  2. Locate the following line:
    TRACKING_LEVEL=setting
  3. Change the value of the setting to achieve the required EDI performance and functionality, as shown in the following table:
    Setting Description
    none Provides the largest EDI performance boost with the least tracking and search functionality. EDI Correlation Search, EDI Document Tracking, and EDI Reporting are nonfunctional.
    basic Provides an EDI performance boost while also providing search functionality. EDI Correlation Search is functional. EDI Document Tracking is nonfunctional. EDI Reporting is partially functional; you can use the EDI Outbound Acknowledgment report type.
    full Default setting. Provides the lowest EDI performance with the highest search and tracking functionality. EDI Correlation Search, EDI Document Tracking, and EDI Reporting are fully functional.
  4. Save the enveloping.properties.in file under the same name and in the same location.
  5. Stop Sterling B2B Integrator.
  6. In the install_dir/bin directory, run one of the following commands:
    • (For UNIX or Linux®) setupfiles.sh
    • (For Windows) setupfiles.cmd
  7. Start Sterling B2B Integrator.
    The changes are applied to the enveloping.properties file, and the new settings will determine the default EDI performance and functionality of your business processes.
    The default EDI performance settings that are set in the enveloping.properties file can be overridden for certain EDI services by using a TRACKING_LEVEL parameter. This allows you to obtain maximum EDI performance in some business processes, and maximum search and tracking functionality in others. Refer to Sterling B2B Integrator Services and Adapters documentation for more information about EDI services.
    Note: Document tracking is turned off by default in the system-defined EDI business processes. If you define an EDI business process and turn Document Tracking on, TRACKING_LEVEL settings in both the enveloping.properties file and the EDI service parameter are overridden.
