Using the EDIFACT Schema Structures Page

The Interoperability > Interoperate > UN/EDIFACT > UN/EDIFACT Schema Structures page enables you to import and view EDIFACT schema specifications.

On this page, you can do the following:

View the EDIFACT schemas that have been loaded into this namespace. To do so, click View All Schemas.
Import EDIFACT schemas into InterSystems IRIS. To do so, click Import Schema from File. Then use Browse to choose a file and click OK.
Remove a saved EDIFACT schema. To do so, click Remove Schema. Then select a schema category from the Choose Schema Category drop-down list, and click OK.
The schema is immediately removed.

Caution:

You cannot undo the Remove operation.

The table on this page shows the following information:

In each row, the two columns at far left uniquely identify the schema definition in this row:
- Category — The schema category
- Name — The document structure
Table rows are sorted according to the numbers and characters in the Category column.
Each value in the Name column is a link. When clicked, this link displays a table that outlines the EDIFACT document structure in this schema definition, showing all of its segments and fields. You can click on any of the links in this display to drill down for more details about any item. InterSystems IRIS extracts these details from the .SETS, .SEGS, .COMS, .ELMS, and .CODES sections of the SEF file that you import to define the structure of this EDIFACT document.
Base — For a custom EDIFACT document structure, this column identifies the standard EDIFACT document structure on which this custom structure is based.
Description — A title that describes the contents of the EDIFACT document. This Description is not a string that you enter as a comment or annotation. InterSystems IRIS extracts the text from the .INI section of the SEF file that you import to define the structure of this EDIFACT document.
