Translation Versions

Several situations:

• send different versions of messages
• receive different versions Note: in real world versions are often so similar that the same mapping script can be used (or a simple if-then can cater for the differences).

Send multiple versions using partners

use the 'topartner' to determine the right version to send.

• one grammar for in-house message:
  • myinhouseorder.py
  • this grammar uses QUERIES to extract 'topartner'.
• grammars for both versions:
  • ORDERSD93AUN
  • ORDERSD96AUN
• 2 translation rules:
  • fixed-myinhouseorder to edifact-ORDERSD93AUN using mapping script ordersfixed2edifact93.py for topartner=XXX
  • fixed-myinhouseorder to edifact-ORDERSD96AUN using mapping script ordersfixed2edifact93.py for topartern=YYY

Send multiple versions using alt

Information about the version is in in-house-message: a field that contains either '93' or '96'.

• one grammar for in-house message:
  • myinhouseorder.py
• grammars for both versions:
  • ORDERSD93AUN
  • ORDERSD96AUN
• 2 translation rules
  • fixed-myinhouseorder to edifact-ORDERSD93AUN using mapping script orders_fixed2edifact93.py for alt=93
  • fixed-myinhouseorder to edifact-ORDERSD96AUN using mapping script orders_fixed2edifact93.py for alt=96

Receive multiple versions

grammars for both versions:

• ORDERSD93AUN
• ORDERSD96AUN

one grammar for in-house message:

• myinhouseorder.py
• this grammar uses QUERIES to extract 'alt'-value.
