Hi,

I am creating a WTX map for 4010 to 5010 conversion. I am doing it for 837i. In order to test the map I used the data in HIPAA pack. But in order to test some other segments I tried using the 837 i data files downloaded from internet. All of them gives "INPUT was valid, but it contained invalid objects". Since I have just started using WTX how shud I go abt for testing the other segments and be sure the rules are working fine.

Is there a way to get these files working looking at the trace ... or turn off the validation part...
Pls suggest....

"INPUT was valid, but it contained invalid objects" may be the result of something as simple as some extra spaces after the last segment. Create a pass-thru map, one that does nothing but read in the file and then write out the data. You can then see what data is being output if any.

You cannot turn validation of but you can customize it in the map settings to reduce warnings and when the validation process fails a map. I don't believe this would have any bearing on the error you are seeing.

Get a copy of Softshare's EDI Notepad. It will do an X12 validation of the data and automatically correct segment/transaction counts as well a remove uneeded trailing delimiters when the file is saved within the tool.

Run the data through the compliance_check.mms map assuming you have the WTX Pack for HIPAA with the compliance_check_parameter.dat set to create a report. Set HIPAA_TAck_Enabled="Y". The resulting report will detail errors and allow click-thrus to the offending segments.
