edf2xml example notes

Points to be aware of when using the edf2xml example.

  • The schema for the input card for the edifacttoxml map and for the output card for the xmltoedifact map is the edifd17a schema. A trimmed schema can be used for improved performance.
  • The native format of the orders.xsd schema is used directly in the mapping.
  • The edifacttoxml map will only process a single interchange. One approach to using it with a transmission containing multiple interchanges would be to use a pre-process that split each interchange in the transmission into a file of its own. A Message Broker flow could be used that calls a map to split the file and then invokes the edifacttoxml map to transform each of these interchange files into an XML format.
