[英]Implement EDI with BizTalk
Our company is currently thinking to implement EDI in BizTalk, which we didn't use before. 我们公司目前正在考虑在BizTalk中实现EDI,而我们以前没有使用过。 We have several dropship suppliers/vendors.
我们有几个运输公司供应商/供应商。 We receive their products information, a flat document/spreadsheet and we process the document and then we sell those products on our website.
我们收到他们的产品信息,一个平面文档/电子表格,然后我们处理该文档,然后在我们的网站上出售这些产品。

EDI handling in BizTalk is similar to the flat file handling - the core functionality of it help you parse EDI messages and transform these to XML (as you know is what BizTalk works with internally). BizTalk中的EDI处理类似于平面文件处理-它的核心功能可帮助您解析EDI消息并将其转换为XML(您知道BizTalk在内部使用的功能)。 It also helps you go from XML and generate an EDI message that one can then send.
它还可以帮助您从XML生成可随后发送的EDI消息。 BizTalk EDI package also has a lots of EDI schemas so one doesn't have to build these manually but can reuse the one that matches the version etc currently required.
BizTalk EDI程序包还具有许多EDI模式,因此不必手动构建这些模式,而是可以重复使用与当前所需版本等匹配的模式。
Theres also some functionality in the to manage parties and configuration for these (received id, difference in EDI formating etc, etc). 中还具有一些功能来管理这些方和配置(接收到的ID,EDI格式的差异等)。 This management simplifies adding and changing specific party settings without having to change/compile/deploy the core process.
该管理简化了添加和更改特定方设置的过程,而不必更改/编译/部署核心过程。

You could just as easily invest in a very slick drag/drop universal mapper from a company like Liaison (see their Delta and ECS products), and take a more "rapid development" approach. 您也可以像Liaison这样的公司(请参阅其Delta和ECS产品)轻松地购买非常光滑的拖放式通用映射器,并采取更“快速的开发”方法。
When I think about EDI software, BizTalk is usually an afterthought. 当我想到EDI软件时,通常会想到BizTalk。 Companies like Liaison (formerly Softshare), Sterling Commerce, Extol, Inovis/GXS, Tie Commerce, SPS (for managed hosting) come to the forefront.
像Liaison(以前为Softshare),Sterling Commerce,Extol,Inovis / GXS,Tie Commerce,SPS(用于托管托管)之类的公司走在前列。
If you already have (purchased) BizTalk in house, then it makes sense to go down that path. 如果您已经拥有(购买)BizTalk,那么顺其自然。 I would recommend if you're going to look at a lot of EDI data, that you download EDI Notepad.
如果您要查看大量EDI数据,我建议您下载EDI记事本。 It is a free application that is for editing / reviewing EDI data.

Keep in mind that EDI follows a "standard". 请记住,EDI遵循“标准”。 The quotes are there for sarcasm.
那里的报价很讽刺。 You will find your partners will take liberties with the standards.

尽管有些人可能认为EDI很容易,但是请注意,这种集成方式有很多潜在的雷区。
