Data Stored for EDI Status Reports

Two levels of reporting are available in EDI status reporting: the first if the Turn ON Reporting property is selected for an agreement, and the second if the Store transaction set/payload reporting property is selected for an agreement. These properties are available in the General Properties page of the General tab in the Agreement Properties dialog box.

Data Stored If EDI Reporting Is Activated

If the Turn ON Reporting property is selected for an agreement, BizTalk Server will keep a record of all sent or received interchanges, technical acknowledgments, and functional acknowledgments.

For a received interchange, BizTalk Server stores the following information:

• A record of all received interchanges. This is the first information displayed in the status reporting UI for EDI.

• A record of all transaction sets contained in the interchange. This does not include all the details that are stored when transaction-set storage is enabled.

• A record of all Technical acknowledgments present in the received interchange

• A record of all Functional acknowledgments present in the received interchange

  Note

  If an interchange has multiple functional groups, multiple functional acknowledgments will be stored in the status reporting UI. However, if BizTalk Server receives duplicate functional acknowledgments for a group, BizTalk Server will store only the last functional acknowledgment in the status reporting UI.

• Whether a technical acknowledgment needs to be generated for the received interchange

• Whether functional acknowledgments need to be generated for the received transaction sets

  For a sent interchange, BizTalk Server stores the following information:

• A record of the sent interchange

• A record of all transaction sets contained in the interchange

• A record of all Technical acknowledgments present in the sent interchange

• A record of all Functional acknowledgments present in the sent interchange

  EDI status reporting UI correlates these records to display complete information. For example, if BizTalk Server receives an interchange, and a technical acknowledgment and a functional acknowledgment need to be sent to the sender of the original message, you can easily find this information in the status reporting UI.

Data Stored If Transaction Set Storage Is Enabled

If the Store message payload for reporting property is selected for an agreement, BizTalk Server will store details of all transaction sets found in a sent or received interchange. This level of status reporting implements all of the first-level reporting performed if EDI reporting is activated, plus transaction-set specific information. The EDI receive pipeline and send pipeline make entries in the BAM database for each incoming and outgoing Group/Transaction Set (while the "Store message payload reporting property is selected). If the interchange is rejected, no entry is made.

For a sent or received interchange, BizTalk Server stores the following information:

• The transaction set content. In the status reporting UI, you can look at the transaction sets contained in an interchange, and then view the actual transaction set content.

• More detailed information about a transaction set, including the following:
