The Events page shows file events. File event properties include details about the file that B2B Gateway processed.
When you drill down an EDI file event, the Events page shows message details for the file, including details about the EDI groups and the messages that B2B Gateway processed for the file, and the message processing status.
When you drill down a custom file event for files processed by Intelligent Structure Discovery, the event expands to show details for output groups discovered in the message structure. For each output group that is processed, the name of the interface file and the event ID show.
File event properties
File event properties include the file that B2B Gateway processed, when the file was processed, which partner sent or received the file, the processing status, and other details.
The following image shows the file events on the Events page:
The display for file events includes the following properties:
File Type
The icon on the left side of the Events page indicates the file type:
- inbound file.
- inbound acknowledgment file.
- outbound file.
File Name
The name of the file that the gateway received from the partner or sent to the partner. Click the file name to open the file.
Partner Name
The name of the partner that sent or received the message or the file. Click the partner name to open the edit partner wizard.
Event ID

Time
The time the event started.
Status
Status of the event. An event can be in one of the following statuses:
- Complete . The file processing completed successfully.
- Discarded . The event status was manually changed to Discarded. Discarded events are read-only and cannot be handled any further.
- Downloading . The file is downloading.
- Error . An error occurred during file processing.
- Processing . A mapping is processing the file.
- Reprocessed . The event was reprocessed and another event was generated to reflect the new process.
- System Error . A system error occurred unrelated to file processing.
- Waiting for Acknowledgment . An intermediate status of an outbound event that is waiting for an acknowledgment. The final status of the outbound event corresponds to the status of the received acknowledgment. If the acknowledgment is accepted, the status of the corresponding outbound event changes to Complete. If the acknowledgment is rejected, the status of the corresponding outbound event changes to Error.
- Warning . The event generated a warning. For example, when an acknowledgment does not contain a group control number of the source message.
Rest on an event status icon to show additional information. For example, for an event in an Error status, the error that occurred during file processing .
Acknowledgment
Applicable for EDI X12 messages. Indicates whether an acknowledgment was received. Rest on the acknowledgment link to view the acknowledgment event number. Click the acknowledgment link to open the acknowledgment file.
For both incoming and outgoing file events, to view the file processing steps, click History. To view the session log for the associated mapping, click Session Log. For outgoing file events, to view the source file that the custom mapping generated, click Source File.
EDI message details properties
When you drill down an EDI file event, you see further details for the EDI groups and messages that the gateway processed for the EDI file. The message details identify the EDI groups, transactions, message types, and acknowledgements that B2B Gateway processed, as relevant for the message.
To drill down a file event, click the triangle to the left of the file event row. The message event panel appears.
The following image shows sample details for an incoming EDI file:
The message details panel displays the EDI groups in the file, the message processing status, and the transactions in the file. Incoming EDI files can include multiple EDI groups. Outgoing EDI files contain one EDI group.
When the view includes multiple EDI groups for a file, click the row of an EDI group to show the transactions that are associated with the group.
EDI group details
The EDI Groups panel displays details for each functional group in the EDI file.
For each functional group in the file, the EDI Groups panel includes the following properties:
Message Type
Message type for the functional group.
Group Control Number
Control number for the functional group.
Event ID
Unique identifier for the event associated with processing the EDI group.
Status
Status of the group validation for the EDI group. This appears for inbound messages. Group validation can be in one of the following statuses:
- Complete . B2B Gateway completed the message validation for the functional group successfully.
- Error . Group validation failed. Click the File icon to open a report with details about the error.
- Waiting for Acknowledgment . Waiting for an acknowledgment from the partner.
Rest on an EDI group status icon to show additional information. For example, for an event in an Error status, the reason that the message was rejected.
Acknowledgment
Indicates whether B2B Gateway sent or received a functional acknowledgment for the EDI group. Click the acknowledgment number to open the acknowledgment file.
Message processing status
The EDI Groups panel displays message processing status for the custom mapping that is assigned to the flow.
The Message Processing icon indicates the message processing status for the mapping. Message processing can be in one of the following statuses:
•Complete . B2B Gateway processed the custom mapping successfully or no custom mapping is assigned to the flow.
•Error . Processing of the custom mapping failed.
To view the session log associated with the processing of the custom mapping, click Session Log. If no custom mapping is assigned to the flow, session log details are not available.

Custom file details properties
When Intelligent Structure Discovery processes a file, it discovers output groups. Output groups contain units of identified data, such as a street address, city, and zip code. An interface file is created for each discovered output group. When you drill down a custom file event for files that Intelligent Structure Discovery has processed, you see further details for the interface files that were produced.
To drill down a file event, click the triangle to the left of the file event row. The Discovered File panel appears.
The following image shows sample details for an incoming custom file that Intelligent Structure Discovery processed:
The details panel displays the interface file that was produced, and the processing status.
Incoming custom files can produce multiple interface files, depending on the custom file structure.
Discovered Files
For each interface file, the Discovered Files panel includes the following properties:
File Name
Name of the interface file. Click the name of the file to view the file.
Event ID
Identification number for the event.

The Processing icon indicates the inbound processing status. The processing state can be in one of the following statuses:
•Complete . B2B Gateway processed the file successfully.
•Error . File processing failed.
•Warning . The Intelligent Structure Discovery process was unable to identify some of the data, and no process-to-backend mapping has been defined.
Unidentified Data
If Intelligent Structure Discovery was not able to identify all the data, the Discovered File panel displays the link Unidentified Data.
The data that was not processed is saved to a file with the naming convention <original filename>_unidentified.txt.
To access the data, click the link Unidentified Data.
