Copying audit settings

The audit settings in the x12_val map are generic; many of the object names contain ANY. The audit settings can be used to audit EDI data that has been defined by practically any EDI type tree.

Use these audit settings to generate an audit file for your EDI data by copying them to a map you have created.

To copy the Audit Settings to your EDI map, perform the following steps:

  1. Open the audit997.mms map source file.
  2. Select the x12_val map.
  3. From the Map menu, choose Copy Data Audit Settings.

    The Copy Data Audit Settings dialog box appears. The Map file is the map source file (.mms) that contains the map to which you want to copy the audit settings.

  4. Click browse to locate the map source file from which you wish to copy the data audit settings.
  5. In the Map Name list, select the map that generates the audit log file.

    For example, select MakeTheAuditLog.

  6. Click OK.

The audit settings are copied to MakeTheAuditLog in edi_data.mms.

Now you can build and run the map to generate the audit log file. Then, create another executable map that maps the audit log file to a transmission containing functional acknowledgments, as in the example map x12_ack.
