Figure 278: Manage EDI Schema
Click the Create New link. The Create EDI Schema screen is displayed.
Enter the name and description of new EDI schema activity in the textboxes Name and Description respectively.
Enter the Segment Separator, e.g. '~' in the textbox Segment Separator.
Enter the Field Separator, e.g. '' in the textbox Field Separator.
Enter the Composite Separator, e.g. '+' in the Composite Separator field. A Composite Separator is used to separate composite fields (a field which contains more than one sub-fields) in an EDI file.
Select the Validate Incoming/Outgoing Data checkbox if you want to validate the incoming and outgoing EDI Data. If this schema is used at source end, it validates the incoming EDI file and generates intermediate XML stream and an EDI acknowledgment stream. If this schema is used at target end, then it validates the input XML and generates error records if there is any error.
Select the required EDI Data Dictionary from the Create Schema Definition field and click the Select EDI Specification button. This displays the Select Transaction screen (see Figure 279).
