Message Content

Successful Translation - Every successfully processed message has two attachments displaying the same data but in different formats:

• EDIFACT file - EDIFACT messages are automatically formatted with each segment occupying a separate line and messages within the interchange being presented in blocks. These are unreadable unless you also have the message definition to hand.
• Flat file - These makes some sense to the casual viewer, although you still need to understand the nature of the contents.

Failed Translation - If a message fails translation the flat file, for incoming or EDIFACT file, for outgoing, tab is not present.

To view the contents of these attachments, from the Mail View pane, select Content.

The final tab contains the full audit trail.

From File you have the option to:

• Print - To print the file.
• Save - To save the message to either the network or to a removable device.

Both these options refer to the current tab and allow dumping of the message or audit trail for support purposes.

From Edit you can select:

• Find- To search the message for a specific text string.
• Goto - To jump to a specific place in the message, for EDIFACT files Goto takes a Segment group number, for an internal format file you supply a line number.
• Commit Changes (Maintenance mode only) - To edit the message and save the changes back to the system, the file can then be retranslated. If it is an incoming message, a receipt report has already been generated detailing the original translation error, you are asked on retranslation if you want to produce a new receipt report. For outgoing messages you need to retransmit which forces a retranslation.
