Editing the Sample Data XML File

An .xml data file is supplied with the sample scenario, which reference a path location for the payload data file. You must first export this file using Enterprise Designer’s Project Explorer. Then, edit the file to reflect the path location where you actually export the sample scenario files.

Note –

For a list of the sample scenario’s files, see Exporting Sample Files.

To Export the Sample Data Files

Locate the export file for the Atlanta sample data in Enterprise Designer’s Project Explorer under eXchange > Samples > AS2 > RecvFromInt > Files

This file is InputAS2.xml.~in.

Export this file to a folder on your C drive. It is recommended that you set up a folder structure to contain these files, under C:\temp, for example:
C:\temp\eXchange\Sample\AS2\Data\Atlanta

To Edit the Atlanta Data File

You must make sure that the InputAS2.xml.~in data file is updated to reflect the appropriate Atlanta data path location. Use a text editor to do this operation.

Make sure you have exported the sample data file.

Use the Enterprise Designer’s Export feature to export the sample data files to a specified location, for example:
cd C:\temp\eXchange\Sample\AS2\Data\Atlanta

Change directories to the subdirectory of the location where you exported the sample data files.

Use a text editor open the following file:

InputAS2.xml.~in

You see text that resembles the following code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<AS2ToPartnerInfo xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
     <PartnerName>AS2Berlin</PartnerName>
     <AS2-TradingProfileID>AS2AGProfile</AS2-TradingProfileID>
     <ServiceName>AS2AG</ServiceName>
     <ActionName>Pass Through Outbound</ActionName>
     <PayloadList>
          <payload>
               <FlieLocation directory="C:TEMP/eXchange/Sample/AS2/Data/
                    Atlanta" fileName="X12-Payload.edi"></flieLocation>
          </payload>
     </PayloadList>
</AS2ToPartnerInfo>

The lines preceding the last line </TestInput> have the following definitions:

<PartnerName> … </PartnerName> line provides the name of the current TP, AS2Berlin.
<AS2-TradingProfileID>…</AS2-TradingProfileID> line supplies the name of the current Transaction Profile used in the TP.
<ServiceName> … </ServiceName> line supplies the name of the current Action Group in the Transaction Profile listed previously.
<ActionName> … </ActionName> line defines the type of action being used, in this case “Pass Through Outbound.”
<PayloadList> … </PayloadList> line supplies the path location of the payload data file for the current transaction, as well as the file name.

If necessary, under <PayloadList>, in the line <fileLocation directory="C:/TEMP/ ...> (shown in the previous example), change the string after directory=to the actual path of the directory that holds your local copy of the InputAS2.xml.~in and payload X12-Payload.edi files.

For example:
C:\temp\eXchange\Sample\AS2\Data\Atlanta
Or:
/~myname/eXchange/Sample/AS2/Data/Atlanta

If you have already run the sample and you want to experiment with other changes (such as using a payload file with a different file name, or using a TP with a different name), be sure they are also reflected here.

When you are finished, save your changes and exit the text editor.
