MessageWay Translation

If your organization sends documents in EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) format, you may also need to transform the data in these documents to match a format used by a trading partner. In EDI terms, this is known as a translation. If you use MessageWay and the MessageWay Translator from Ipswitch to do these translations, then you can incorporate the translation workflow into a MOVEit Automation task.

Using the built-in script "MessageWay Translation", you can set up a task that gets files from a source location, sends them to the MessageWay Translator, and puts the translated files in a destination. This topic provides an example of how you set up a task using the built-in script.

For more information about the script itself, see the topic "Configuring Tasks - Processes/Scripts - Built-In - MessageWay Translation." For more information about configuring MessageWay, see "MessageWay User's Guide and Reference." For more information about configuring and testing a translation, see "MW Translator Workbench User's Guide and Reference" and "MW Translator Workbench Tutorial."
