Transforming data

When a sender and receiver have different message format specifications, you can design your business process to transform the data in a document before delivering it. You can design a business process to reformat a document, enrich a message, or perform numeric and string calculations based on the value of certain fields.

Sterling B2B Integrator provides built-in services for you to use in your business processes. IBM Transformation Extender for Sterling B2B Integrator extends these data transformation and validation capabilities by enabling you to use IBM Transformation Extender maps and type trees within the Sterling B2B Integrator environment. You can create IBM Transformation Extender type trees that model complex data and use component rules to validate the syntax and semantics of the data in your messages.

For information about the services, see the related topics in the Sterling B2B Integrator documentation.
