ASC X12 PM and eXchange

eGate and eXchange enable you to build Java CAPS Projects that process standard B2B business communication and enveloping protocols, such as X12. ASC X12 PM works during message processing with eXchange to provide the following features:

• Message transport

• Message tracking

• Error handling

• Structural message validation

ASC X12 PM and the X12 OTD Library

ASC X12 PM provides packaged Business Protocols with rules that process and validate X12 messages, which are called OTDs in Java CAPS. Java CAPS provides packaged X12 OTDs as part of the X12 OTD Library. You can also build your own OTDs using the SEF OTD wizard, which is supplied with eGate.
