Solution: Sending 834 Data

Abstract

You have looked at sending and receiving 837 data (in Chapters 2 and 3) and also at receiving 834 data (Chapter 6). There are several additional concepts to introduce, most notably the use of role links. The solution in this chapter will show how to receive flat file data on a receive port, map that data to an outbound 834 document, and use role links to send to a specific trading partner. You will look at options for how to use an adapter to pull data from an SFTP server, how to structure the source data you'll be mapping from, and how to configure role links to allow for sending to any number of trading partners dynamically from within an orchestration. The architectural overview of this solution is shown in Figure 10-1.
