How to replace EDI messages from IFS8 in IFS Cloud?

Hello,

Do you think the following approach will be effective in replacing EDI messages from IFS8 in IFS Cloud?

For outbound EDI messages from IFS8, convert JSON to XML using a transformer (perhaps the standard one IFS_JSON_TO_XML_GENERIC?) and apply customized transformers to map fields from EDI messages to IFS Cloud projection fields.

The same logic for inbound, but in a different direction and with the assumption that BizAPIs that were used are no longer available in the Cloud.

If yes then mappings between EDI and Cloud projection for different types of messages are required, do you have something like that?

Or perhaps you have any other ideas to fulfill the requirements?

Best regards

Bart

Hi @bartlomiej.pobocha 

 

We have successfully implemented ORDERS (inbound/outbound) and DESADV (inbound) and the steps taken were similar to what you’ve described, so your approach is correct :)

One thing to note that is we developed own java transformers instead of using standard IFS transformers since we found problems with the mappings and it was easier to do our own.

 

Hope it helps!
