Adding proprietary data types

Edit online

About this task

You only need to define enough of the proprietary data structure to make it distinguishable from the other partitioned subtypes.

Procedure

  1. Modify the type tree Ecmail.mtt to include a new data type Test under the partitioned object M4EC.
  2. Analyze the Ecmail.mtt type tree to ensure your new data type is distinguishable.
  3. Save the Ecmail.mtt type tree.
  4. Build the stampandsortfile map component in MessageManager using the Integration Flow Designer.

    The Message Manager is now configured to accept proprietary data. For inbound and outbound proprietary data, follow the same rules and naming conventions as you do with EDI data.

To add application processing for proprietary data

Edit online

Procedure

  1. Add your own map or system of maps designed to transform the proprietary data and pass it to an appropriate application.
  2. Configure the map to trigger on: C:\install_dir\tmgr_vn.n\mmgr\sortec\*i.Test (this configuration assumes inbound transmission).
    Note: *i.Test represents the actual partition name with Ecmail.mtt. For instance, if a proprietary data type is added for NACHA data formats, the resulting filename from which to trigger would be *.NACHA.

Results

Your proprietary data will be processed like any data type in terms of audit trails and alerts. You will be able to track inbound and outbound transmissions in the Reports section of Partner Manager.
