BIC integration tool

[Former Member]

Going to support EDI interface which uses Seeburger AS2 adapter either at sender or receiver side.I have few doubts on BIC module:

1.Do i need to install BIC tool on my laptop or it is a web based tool which i can access from seeburger workbench?

2.For all the edi conversion using Seeburger do we need BIC module to convert messages from EDI to XML or from XML to EDI?

3.why we need to do message mapping again if we had already done BIC mapping?

thanks in advance.

Got to the point answer from Shradha, Posting this thread again becouse earlier posted with differen used by mistake.

Hi,

1.Do i need to install BIC tool on my laptop or it is a web based tool which i can access from seeburger workbench?

Yes you need to install BIC mapping tool in your laptop to do the mappings.

2.For all the edi conversion using Seeburger do we need BIC module to convert messages from EDI to XML or from XML to EDI?

Yes for all EDI conversion using Seeburger you need BIC tool. But if you have some standard mapping already given by Seeburger than you dont need BIC tool, you can directly use those mappings. Remember standard mapping will start with name SEE*

3.why we need to do message mapping again if we had already done BIC mapping?

BIC mapping tool is used to convert EDI to XML and vice versa. Think about a scenario when you need to convert an IDOC to EDIFACT format.

Than first you have to do 1:1 mapping in PI where you will convert IDOC to EDIXML and than use BIC mapping tool to convert EDIXML to EDIFACT file.

I hope above answers will help you.

Doubt: when we say mapping in BIC module we mean to have mapping between source(XML or EDI) to (EDI or XML) vice-versa.

take a scenario: EDI ANSI X12 850 document to ORDERS IDOC. in this scenario we will use BIC module using XSD file of source message that is EDI ANSI X12 message to -

---

?. once transformation is done we get the sda file which we deplloy on to the j2ee server using jspm tool.In next step while using Seeburger AS2 adapter we will refer this mapping in our module parameter.Please correct me.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Yes your understanding is correct...

but for the scenario orders 850 to orders idoc...mapping in BIC will be done for converting the EDI data to EDI -XML format...

deployed using SDA file............and then this xml data is input and need to convert to idoc in message mapping tool..

Hope this answers your query..

Hi Rajesh, Thsnks for your comment, could you please clear my doubt about source and target xsd file i will be using in case of BIC module, please consider sam case of EDI 850 to Orders IDOC, here source i understand will be EDI 850 X12 doc, wat abot target message used in BIC?

Hi,

In the above case if the version of EDI 850 X12 is V4010 then you dont need to worry about the mapping generation in BIC..

if not then the source message will be 850 XSD and taget message will be 850 XML XSD which will be provided by the seeburger

itself. all you need to do is to down load these things after getting the license from the marketplace...

sourceMessage : XSD of EDI Flatfile..

target message : XSD of EDI XML file..

HTH
