IBM Sterling B2B Integrator data harness

Some Transformation Extender maps share information with the IBM Sterling B2B Integrator processes.

For example, the maps can perform one of the following activities:
  • Store information about the data, for example, a document ID, or other key field, that can be used by IBM Sterling B2B Integrator to track the data.
  • Get information from IBM Sterling B2B Integrator tables, such as trading partner information, or code list table data. The maps read and write this information to IBM Sterling B2B Integrator database tables using the IBM Sterling B2B Integrator adapter. This is referred to as the IBM Sterling B2B Integrator Data Harness which provides access to these tables.
The IBM Sterling B2B Integrator adapter is used to get and to set certain values that are maintained in the IBM Sterling B2B Integrator adapter database tables.
  • The setProcessData call is used to set values such as reference ids in the processData table. This value can be used by other services in the Business Process flow.
  • The setCorrelation call is used to set the values such as reference ids in the correlation data table. This value can be used to help search for documents processed by the map.
The ACH Deenvelope service and ACH Envelope service example maps use PUT calls to the IBM Sterling B2B Integrator adapter in order to set the TraceNo with the following values in the IBM Sterling B2B Integrator database called ProcessData and Correlation tables:
  • For CTX scenarios, and for DNE inbound scenario - Originating DFI Identification
  • For DNE outbound scenario - Receiving DFI Identification
