Description

There are different types of EDI validation errors generated with EDI processing, there is some confusion as to what is meant by an error which can be ignored, a warning, or a true error.

Issue/Introduction

Understand the different EDI validation errors generated for a transaction

Environment

All

Resolution

  1. If there are NO errors, BC generates the EDI file successfully
  2. If there are INFO (Informational, usually just informative messages) or WARNING (minor errors such as leading zeros in fields)errors, BC notes the error in the Log viewer, but the document is still valid, and can be processed.
  3. If there are REJECT (violation or rules or standards) errors, BC will reject it.
The property under BusinessConnect -> System Settings -> Activated Protocol Plug-ins and Properties -> Edit Plug-in Properties :tibEDI:
"edi.auditErrorReport.ignoreWarnInfo" governs how INFO and WARN errors are processed. Checking this property will suppress the audit logging and error advisory of validation warnings and information.

For more information refer to the Validator documentation under TIBCO_HOME/EDISIM/Documentation/TIB_fsp_edisim_X.XX_fsvalidator.pdf : Chapter 4 Customizing your validation : Diagnostic colors (Type and Meaning)
