tEDIFACTtoXML

Transforms an EDIFACT message file into the XML format for better readability to
users and compatibility with processing tools.

This component reads a United Nations/Electronic Data Interchange
For Administration, Commerce and Transport (UN/EDIFACT) message and
transforms it into the XML format according to the EDIFACT version
and the EDIFACT family.

tEDIFACTtoXML Standard properties

These properties are used to configure tEDIFACTtoXML running in the Standard Job framework.

The Standard
tEDIFACTtoXML component belongs to the XML family.

The component in this framework is available in all Talend
products.

Basic settings

Schema and Edit Schema	A schema is a row description, it defines the number of fields to be processed and passed on to the next component. The schema of this component is fixed and read-only, with only one column: document.
EDI filename	Filepath to the EDIFACT message file to be transformed.
EDI version	Select the EDIFACT version of the input file.
Ignore new line	Select this check box to skip carriage returns in the input file.
Die on error	Select this check box to stop Job execution when an error is encountered. By default, this check box is cleared, and therefore illegal rows are skipped and the process is completed for the error free rows.

Advanced settings

tStatCatcher Statistics	Select this check box to gather the Job processing metadata at a Job level as well as at each component level.

Global Variables

Global Variables	ERROR_MESSAGE: the error message generated by the component when an error occurs. This is an After variable and it returns a string. This variable functions only if the Die on error check box is cleared, if the component has this check box. A Flow variable functions during the execution of a component while an After variable functions after the execution of the component. To fill up a field or expression with a variable, press Ctrl + Space to access the variable list and choose the variable to use from it. For further information about variables, see Talend Studio User Guide.

file and saves it as an XML file.

Adding and linking the components

Drop the tEDIFACTtoXML
component and the tFileOutputXML component
from the Palette to the design
workspace.
