Basic Instructions

This example shows how to set up a task that runs a translation. It translates a test document X12 850 (Purchase Order) to a proprietary fixed format document and generates an acknowledgement (X12 997). This example uses files installed with the MessageWay installation.

The example assumes that a MessageWay environment, including the MessageWay Translator, is already configured and has the following user and location information:

• user name and password: micentral
• location name for the MWTranslator service: translate
• location name for pickup mailbox: moveit

To translate an EDI document using MOVEit Central and MessageWay, in our example, we do the following in MOVEit Central:

1. Set up a file transfer Advanced Task (one source and one destination) to download and save the X850TEST file without translating it.
2. Once you have the basic file transfer task working, add a "MessageWay Translation" built-in process.
3. Configure "MessageWay Translation" with the following parameters:
   • MWayConn_Host: the IP address or host name of the MessageWay server
   • MWayConn_User: micentral (a MessageWay user)
   • MWayConn_Password: password associated with the micentral MessageWay user
   • MWayConn_Recipient: translate:moveit (a compound address that represents the default MessageWay service location plus the MessageWay pickup mailbox)
   • MWayConn_Sender: X850Test
4. Run the task to test the translation.
