VDA Business Processes
To use VDA with Sterling B2B Integrator, you need to create a business process or processes and configure the following parameters, which should match what you configured in the VDA envelope:
- Sender ID
- Receiver ID
- Lookup Alias
To help you accomplish your business goals, Sterling B2B Integrator provides two predefined business processes, which are used by Sterling B2B Integrator to implement VDA processing: VDAEnvelope and VDADeenvelope. These predefined business processes are initiated by other processes/services during VDA processing and do not require you to modify them.
The following table lists business goals for the predefined VDA business processes:
| Business Process | Business Goals | For more information, see |
|---|---|---|
| VDADeenvelope | Extracts VDA message types from an EDI message and locates an associated contract, according to the content of the envelopes. | VDADeenvelope Business Process |
| VDAEnvelope | Applies a VDA envelope to one or more VDA message types and then uses the envelope data to locate the associated contract and start the appropriate business process. | VDAEnvelope Business Process |
