Hi,

As I am new to EDIFACT over AS2, I am doing some preliminary testings before starting a project. To start with, installed certificates for both sender and receiver, installed the necessary document types in TN.

1. Invoked wm.EDIINT:send service inputing the necessary info (a UNEDIFACT 921 ORDERS document, Sign and Encrypt, Requesting a signed receipt from the recipient and MDN) and TN routed the document to remote server successfully.
2. In local TN, when I view the Transaction Analysis, there are 2 rows:
   i) One row for EDIINT doc type (User Status = SendMsg:DONE)
   ii) One row for EDIINT MDN doc type (User Status = ProcessMDNMsg:DONE)
3. In remote TN, it shows 4 rows as follows:
   i) One row for EDIINT doc type (User Status = ProcessMsg:PAYLOAD)
   ii) One row for EDIINT MDN doc type (User Status = SendMDNMsg:DONE)
   iii) One row for UNEDIFACT 921 ORDERS doc type (User Status = null)
   iv) One row for UNEDIFACT Envelope doc type (User Status = null)

Want to check with you experts the following:

1. Is this how the EDIFACT documents are processed? ie. for every document, TN generates 4 rows!!!. Normally with XML, if a PO document in XML format is sent to TN, TN generates only one row.
2. What am I doing is correct or there are better ways to process?

Also,
At the remote server, created a processing rule for UNEDIFACT 921 ORDERS doc type to invoke a sample service called sample:receiveEDI.
As I go through the documentation, it says, I need to invoke wm.b2b.editn:bizdocToRecord service within sample:receiveEDI to process the document further.

When I use this service, I get some validation errors like
"<value>4</value>
<value>[FFP.0011.0016] Element has nested errors</value>
<value>16</value>
<value>RFF</value>
…
…
…
<value>7</value>
<value>[FFP.0011.0016] Element has nested errors</value>
<value>16</value>
<value>COM</value>
<null>
"

Any clues what would have gone wrong? As the error says, invalid, I checked with the people around and they say, the document is a valid document.

Cheers
Vince
