Wizard Options
Though specifics vary across EDI dialects (IATA and EANCOM refer to versions, while X12 refers to Release, for example), the options for most EDI document wizards are similar, if not the same. Document wizard options are summarized in the following table. Once specifying the dialect and version, you use the fields of the XML Structure group box to specify the structure of the XML; you use the fields of the XML Schema Options group box to specify the settings that are used to generate the XML Schema for the selected EDI message.
Option Name
|
Description
|
|---|
Dialect
|
The EDI dialect from which you want to create an XML Schema.
|
Version
|
The version of the EDI dialect from which you want to create an XML Schema.
|
Mode
|
Certain EDI messages have alternate batch and interactive forms, depending upon whether they are used between systems that have real-time connections. The Interactive setting causes the interactive form to be used, if available. For example, in EDIFACT, this would cause the normal envelope of UNB/UNH/UNT/UNZ to be replaced by UIB/UIH/UIT/UIZ. Valid for EANCOM, EDIFACT, and IATA only.
|
Message
|
The specific message type from which you want to create an XML Schema.
|
Use long element names
|
Whether or not you want to use the long element name as part of the XML tag - UNB01-SyntaxIdentifier versus UNB01, for example
|
Wrap "GROUP" element around message groups
|
Whether you want to wrap a <GROUP> element around transaction messages. This can make message groupings easier to handle with XPath for EDI document with multiple message groups.
|
Prefix GROUP_N tags with the message name
|
Adds the message name to the GROUP_n prefix in the XML element tag. For example, <TS_831_GROUP_1>.
|
Put the data value in value= attributes
|
Places code list data values in an value= string in the element tag. For example, <BGN01 value="00"><!--353: Transaction Set Purpose Code--></BGN01>. By default, the data value is output to XML as text (<BGN01><!--353: Transaction Set Purpose Code-->00</BGN01>).
|
Put decoded data values in decode= attributes
|
Places decoded code list data values in a decode= string in the element tag. For example, <ISA15 decode="Production Data">. By default, the decoded value is not output to XML.
|
Write annotations describing each element
|
Whether or not you want the generated XML Schema to include annotations that are part of the EDI message.
|
Enumerations for elements that have codelists
|
Whether or not you want the generated XML Schema to include enumerations for fields that have lists of values.
|
Use "unbounded" for maxOccurs when loop value is 99 or higher)
|
Replaces maxOccurs values of 100 or greater with "unbounded". This option ensures that the generated XML Schema can be successfully validated by most processors
|
SEF File
|
The URI of the Standard Exchange Format (SEF) file, if any, you want to use when generating XML Schema. The SEF file can augment information that Stylus Studio uses to generate XML Schema - customized EDI definitions are stored in the SEF file, for example. If the same setting is specified by both the document wizard and the SEF file, the SEF file value is used.
