Description

This preparser is able to divide a large EDIFACT message into several messages.

The result is not multiple jobs. Only one job is created and one record is generated for each split message.

Each split message is like the original big EDIFACT message, but it only contains a number of package split segments. See example below.

Note: With the parameter package=1, you can parse an EDIFACT message so that a record is created per LIN segment if the task is to generate one output file per LIN. See example below. See also section Execute Responses per Record.

The parameters for the needed properties file are the following.

The parameter segment specifies the segment in the EDIFACT file, that is to be used for the splitting process and package defines the maximum number of segments, contained in a single split message. In this case: 5000 LIN segments per EDIFACT file created by the splitting.

Example file

We use the following configuration file.

Following the original EDIFACT file.

The result is one job with two records that are filled with the following data.
