Creating a Client to Submit a Document Using EDIINT

Overview

The EDIINT standard requires the documents you send using the EDIINT transport be "packaged" in a specific way. If your client is running on the Integration Server that has IBM webMethods Module for EDIINT installed, the client should invoke the wm.EDIINT:send service to package the document correctly and send it. If you are not using webMethods software for the client, see the documentation for the EDIINT software you are using to determine how to correctly package and send documents. This chapter describes how to create a client using the wm.EDIINT:send service of webMethods Module for EDIINT.

Note: You can use the wm.EDIINT:send service to send both EDI documents and non-EDI documents.

You can use any of the EDIINT content types listed below. These content types are for both EDIINT documents and MDNs.

Setting the Input Variables for the wm.EDIINT:send Service

The client should invoke the wm.EDIINT:send service to correctly package a document for EDIINT transport. For the list of input variables that the client should set for the wm.EDIINT:send service, see IBM webMethods Module for EDIINT Services.
