BizTalk 2009 support for EDIFACT messages ORDERS S93A and INSDES D96A

Question

Is there any way to get support for these EDIFACT message types in BizTalk?
I know there is support for this if I by the "Covast EDI Accelerator". But that seems to be overkill in my case.

Thanks,

Answer 1

Hi,
   BTS 2009 do support EDIFACT message types.

You can find an example here for EDIFACT processing in Biztalk:

Hi Gyan,

Thank you for a fast answer.

Yes, I know that BizTalk has support from EDIFACT. I have used it a lot. But I can not find any support for the message types ORDERS S:93A and INSDES D:96A. At least there are no schemas supplied for these messeges out of the box.

Thanks,

Answer 3

BizTalk 2006 R2 and 2009 has a very wide variety of D96A schemas out of the box.

In your BizTalk installation path is a folder "XSD_Schema". In there is a self extracting archive with about 8000 different schemas:
MicrosoftEdiXSDTemplates.exe

If you extract these (just doubleclick) you will have a number of different folders, the D96A schemas are in the EDIFACT\D96A.

Answer 4

Hi,

I know that these schemas exist. But among all these 8000 schemas there aren´t any schema for ORDERS S:93A and INSDES D:96A.

Answer 5

Hi,

You could see D:96A at this location.
C:\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006\XSD_Schema\EDI\XSDTemplate\EDIFACT\D96A

But I could not see S: 93 A. This I browsed in BizTalk Server 2006 R2. Not sure about 2009.

Answer 6

Hi,

I have checked for BizTalk 2009. These schemas do not exist there iether. In the D96A folder there are no INSDES schemas. And a S93A does not exist at all. That’s wy I am looking for a solution somewhere else. Do you know if there are any third party that sells schemas for EDIFACT (except Covast)?

Answer 7

Hi, 

Unfortunately I don't know of any of the S93A schemas.

But perhaps it's a good idea to compare the schemas. Maybe there is not much difference between the two?

Best regards,

Pieter

Answer 9

Hi,

You should get some help at http://www.stylusstudio.com/edi/EDIFACT_translate.html and http://www.stylusstudio.com/edifact/D04B/ORDERS.htm .
Looks they have some tools [Free Downloads as well], which could help you out to get the xsd out of your EDIFACT messages.
Please let me know if it helps.

Answer 10

Hi,

It seems that the message types that I want to use (INSDES D96A and ORDERS S93A) aren´t any standard EDIFACT messages.
I will solve this by trying to make the partner user any of the standard EIDFACT messages or by modifying a existing schema so that it matches these messages.

Thanks a lot anyway!
