Process-to-backend and process-from-backend mappings that process EDI X12 and EDIFACT messages use Hierarchy Parser and Hierarchy Builder transformations, respectively.
Before you develop mappings that use the Hierarchy Parser or Hierarchy Builder transformations, you must upload the respective message schemas to Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services.
After you upload the schemas to Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services, they are available for selection during mapping development.
Uploading Message Schemas to Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
If user groups are defined for the organization in Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services, to perform this task you must have permissions to read, create, and update hierarchical schemas.
1Click the Message Schema link in the upper right corner of the screen.
The Message Schema Upload page appears.
2Select the file type, EDI X12 or EDIFACT, and then select one or more message types and one or more message versions.
Note: You can upload message schemas for one file type at a time. To upload both EDI X12 and EDIFACT schemas you must first complete the upload for one file type and then repeat the upload procedure for the second file type.
3For EDI X12 messages, select whether to use element reference numbers or use element names in XML interface files.
4Click Apply.
The messages you selected appear in the Message Schema Upload page.
5Click Upload Message Schemas.
B2B Gateway uploads the selected schemas to Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services. The schemas are available for selection in Data Integration when you develop mappings that use the Hierarchy Parser or Hierarchy Builder transformations.
Note: B2B Gateway does not save a list of uploaded schemas. You can view the list of uploaded schemas in the Explore page of Data Integration.
