that any user will experience will vary depending upon many factors, including
considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user’s job stream,
the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed.

Defining Trading Partners
The user interface is designed to allow you to define a partner profile with
minimal required entries, taking common defaults for optional properties
“Advanced” properties changeable as needed
Automatic version control to version changes made
17
Modular: De-envelope Services
Inbound envelope definitions
define the business meaning
of incoming messages
Sender and Receiver and
other Standard IDs associate
incoming EDI data with
partners
Control number sequence
and duplicate checking is
optional
Validation may be enabled,
disabled or delegated to IBM
WebSphere TX
Acknowledgements may be
enabled and customized
Data is de-bulked and
optionally transformed,
allowing good transactions to
be handled differently from
transactions which contain
errors
18
Modular: Envelope Services
Outbound envelope definitions
instruct the engine on how to process
outgoing data
Sender and Receiver and other
Standard IDs associate outgoing EDI
data with partners
Control numbers may be assigned,
either locally or globally
Outgoing data may be transformed
and validated allowing valid
transactions to be handled differently
from transactions which contain errors
Outgoing data may be enveloped and
delivered immediately or deferred for
later batch processing
19
Modular: Transformation Services
Transformation maps define the structure of input and output data and the rules for
transformation between fields
In its initial release IBM Standards Processing Engine supports multiple strategic
mappers: WebSphere Transformation Extender, Sterling B2B Integrator and XSLT
maps
Maps may be persisted in
the provided map
repository, on a local file
system or stored in an
external repository and
passed to the engine in
memory
A repository for XML
schemas and DTDs is
provided and may be used
by the engine for runtime
validation
20
Modular: Business Integrity
Business Integrity is enforced within the IBM Standards Processing
Engine through the persistence of three kinds of data:
•
Trading Partner Management
Configuration data used to identify trading partners and establish the rules for
B2B document processing. Managed through a browser based User
Interface.
•
State and processing data
Runtime data used to maintain state between transactions. Managed
internally by the engine.
•
Analytics
Events generated during B2B document processing. Managed by external
visibility tools.
21
Benefits: Standards Processing Engine
1. Easy onboarding of Trading Partner.
2. Version Control.
3. Available to run in different platforms (Launcher, IIB and Java
program)
4. HIPAA Level 1 through 5 support
5. DeEnveloping and Enveloping simplified.
6. Ability to process WTX map, Sterling map and XSLT.
7. High performance throughput

Changing Requirements: Supply Chain
Standards Process Engine combines two EDI
validation technologies used by thousands of
supply chain organizations
WTX Design Studio and SBI Map Editor combined
bring 30+ years of EDI mapping & validation
expertise
Out of the box support for sequencing of bulk / debulk, transformation, validation and automated
generation of acknowledgements with no process
orchestration dependency
Standards Process Engine for Supply Chain offers a rich array of X12 and EDIFACT
envelope parameters and provides EDI control number checking and nonrepudiation
functions
Correlations support operational visibility and message reconciliation
Data from Interchange Compliance Reports powers business reporting and
downstream analytics

Using IBM Standards
Processing Engine with IBM
Integration Bus
Strategic Technology: IBM Integration Bus
The Standards Processing
Engine has been designed to
leverage the connectivity and
orchestration capabilities
provided by IBM Integration
Bus
•
Transform Node
Wraps calls to the
Standards Processing
Engine’s transform
function to run a
WebSphere TX, Sterling
B2B Integrator or XSLT
map
Patterns are provided to quick
start the development of
inbound, outbound or
transformation Message Flows
De-envelope Node
Envelope Node
Events generated by the engine
may be published to a
WebSphere MQ queue for
consumption by external
visibility and analytics tools
De-envelopes input data
and returns deenveloped transactions,
acknowledgements and
transactions in error
Encodes input data and
either prepares
documents for deferred
enveloping, envelopes
previously prepared
documents or envelopes
documents immediately
Note: Requires IBM Integration Bus v9
29
Strategic Technology: IBM Integration Bus –
De-envelope Node
Use the De-envelope Node to de-envelope
input data
Send enveloped data to the in terminal
There are three output terminals and a
failure terminal
Transactions which pass validation are sent,
one at a time, to the out terminal
Transactions which fail validation are sent,
one at a time, to the error terminal
Acknowledgements are sent to the ack
terminal
Exceptions are routed to the failure terminal
The De-envelope Node has no basic
properties, but it can be configured to output
intermediate documents and a storage
payload threshold can be optionally
specified
Correlations and ProcessData are written to the LocalEnvironment
An Interchange Compliance Report may be written to the LocalEnvironment
for transactions that are in error
30
De-envelope example – inbound X12 document
There are 4 terminals:
Terminal 1 – OUT writes the translated output to queue Output and then is written to a FTP
server. It also writes out the Correlation and Process Data.
Terminal 2 – ACK writes out the acknowledgement (997, 999)
Terminal 3 – ERROR writes out the error along with the Compliance Report which is then
formatted by a WTX map to remove some characters that interrupts the XML output.
Terminal 4 – FAILURE writes out any failure information or data
31
Strategic Technology: IBM Integration Bus –
Envelope Node
Use the Envelope Node to encode input data
Send enveloped data to the in terminal
•
Documents may be sent individually or sent together using a Collector Node
There are two output terminals and a failure terminal
•
•
•
Enveloped transactions which pass validation are sent to the out terminal
Transactions which fail validation are sent, one at a time, to the error terminal
Exceptions are routed to the failure terminal
A SenderID, ReceiverID, AccepterLookupAlias and optionally an InterchangeID must
be specified in the LocalEnvironment before the Envelope Node is invoked
The Envelope Node has only one basic property which controls whether it prepares
documents for deferred enveloping, envelopes previously prepared documents or
envelopes documents immediately
It can also be configured to output intermediate documents, halt on error and a storage
payload threshold can be optionally specified
Correlations and ProcessData are written to the LocalEnvironment
32
Strategic Technology: IBM Integration Bus –
Envelope Node
Prepare documents for later enveloping
Envelope previously prepared documents
(batching)
Envelope documents immediately
33
Envelope example – immediate HIPAA document
SET OutputLocalEnvironment.SPE.SenderID = 'MYCOMPANY';
SET OutputLocalEnvironment.SPE.ReceiverID = 'YOURCOMPANY';
SET OutputLocalEnvironment.SPE.AccepterLookupAlias = '850';
34
Strategic Technology: IBM Integration Bus –
Transform Node
Use the Transform Node to call the Standards Processing Engine’s transform function and run a
WebSphere TX, Sterling B2B Integrator or XSLT map
Send input data to the in terminal
• Documents may be sent individually or sent together using a Collector Node when a
WebSphere TX map is used
• Messages in the MessageCollection are routed to similarly named input cards (in1, in2, etc.)
There is always one failure terminal, but output terminals can be created as needed
• Sterling and XSLT maps only produce one output, sent to the default out1 terminal
• Output cards from WebSphere TX maps are routed to similarly numbered out terminals (out1,
out2, etc)
• Exceptions are routed to the failure terminal along with a Translation Report in the
ExceptionList
The Transform Node has one basic property – the map name
• It can be configured with a storage payload threshold
The map may be specified in the
LocalEnvronment
• MapName – specifies a map in the
SPE repository
• MapServerLocation – specifies the
path to a map on a local file system
• DynamicMap – passes a map to
SPE as an array of bytes
Correlations and ProcessData are written
to the LocalEnvironment
