PI doesnt provide any standard solution when u r dealing with edi messages...in such cases u have to look for out of the box solutions..Seeburger is one of them (adapter module is also an option).
Here based on the EDI version and signal we need to develope the X2E and E2X mappings by using BIC tool and deploy these files in PI server, this is one time activity.
To generate E2X and X2E mappings check the below link
We have different types of EDIs are available like ANSI X12, EDIFACT, TRADACOMu2026u2026.
Each EDI type contains different versions. For example take ANSI X12, this contains lot of versions (3050, 4010, 4020, 5010..).
Each EDI version contains many signals (850 - PO, 860 - PO Change, 810 - Invoice....).
We donu2019t know which type of EDI, which version and which signal we are using so instead of providing all X2E and E2X mappings (all types, all versions with all signals), seeburger provided one tool called BIC. By using BIC tool we can generate X2E and E2X mappings based on which type, versions with signal we are using.
Install the BIC tool in any one of the application system, then generate X2E and E2X mappings and deploy those mappings in PI server.
In Com channel configure those in Module tab (for this you can follow the seeburger manuals).
How you want to communicate with the EDI system... If it is using AS2 adapter, then you need to purchase it from seeburger and configure it in the sender side and receiver side it'll be Idoc adapter. And in the ESR you need to import the xsd of EDI document under external definitions and map it to the idoc.Please refer the below links it may help you.
