John KhalilSubject: Convert EDIFACT to X12 or vice-versa
Author: John Khalil

I am following the tutorial on http://www.stylusstudio.com/edi/EDI_to_EDI.html to convert a sample Edifact document to an X12 document, but I am running into trouble.

When I get to the part where I add the provided sample document "edifact-sample.txt" into the XSLT mapper, I get the following error:

[EDI43] ERROR Invalid character 'a' (\u0061)
Dialect: EDIFACT
Version: syntax=4;message=D/03B;agency=UN;table=D03B
Message: ORDERS
Segment: QTY (line 9)
Position: QTY02
Native error: 21, in table: 0085

The sample X12 XML file loaded just fine. I just cannot get the edifact sample to load. I tried other edifact documents I have, and still get similar errors.

I also have the xmlconverter software installed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

John

There was a problem in the sample EDIFACT file, highlighted by the stricter validation in the latest XML Converters version. It should be fixed now if you fetch a fresh version of http://www.stylusstudio.com/edi/edifact-sample.txt

Sorry for the trouble.

Thank you! That fixed it. I ran through the tutorial without any issues after that. I do have a question on the process: Is the xmlconverter software needed to use this feature of Stylus Studios? I have the xmlconverter installed, which I downloaded from xmlconverters.com, but I am unsure if it is even necessary. I am evaluating the software and would like to know if that would also be a requirement. Thanks!

Stylus Studio includes a copy of both the XML Converters and the

IDE without additional development licenses or even the separate

For external deployment, or for development in other environments
such as embedding in Java or .Net applications, a separate deployment
installable and license are necessary.

Thank you. One last question on this. When doing the conversion, I get an error saying that a certain element in the X12 that I am converting is invalid. Now, that is s good thing, it checked to see that the document was using valid codes. However, in certain cases, I will need to override the default allowed codes, and add another. For example, the FOB02 element failed because it had the code "D1". That isnt a valid option according to specs. But, I would like to manually add "D1" into the schema file so that it accepts it as valid.

But adding that element into the schema file had no effect. It still reports the D1 as being invalid. How can I override the default validation to add another code? Thanks.

The XSD is used to validate the XML, but during the conversion
the XML Converter applies more sophisticated rules for validation
than XML Schema could ever hope to describe.

So you need to tell the converter how to deal with the D1 value.

See http://www.stylusstudio.com/SSDN/default.asp?action=9&read=6146&fid=23
except instead of putting EDIFACT.properties in the directory that
contains EDIFACT.jar, instead it will go into a directory called CustomEDI
that itself is in the same directory as EDIFACT.pds or EDIFACT.dll,
depending on your edition.
