    Hi Girish,

    The EDI Inspector on stedidotcom is a quick web-based tool for parsing and validating raw EDI content in a human-readable format.

    **IBM Sterling B2Bi's Approach:**

    B2Bi doesn't have a direct "paste and validate" equivalent, but provides:

    - **Translation Services** - Automated EDI validation within business processes
    - **Sterling Map Editor** - Visual mapping/validation tool (desktop app)
    - **Document Tracking** - View processed EDI documents and validation results via web UI
    - **EDIINT - Built-in EDI validation for secure exchanges
    - **Debug logging** - Inspect EDI at each processing step

    **Key Difference:**
    - EDI Inspector: Quick, manual, ad-hoc validation
    - B2Bi: Enterprise automation, validation integrated into workflows

    What's your specific use case

    Thanks

    Andy

    Check out my opensource project -  https://github.com/kreddys/edi-lens.git

    It's not as comprehensive as Sterling and doesn't validate EDI documents as thoroughly, but it's handy for quick copy/paste viewing of EDI data. Feel free to clone and customize it to fit your needs.
