I am planning to use WTX map node in WMB for transforming EDI 834 data using HIPPA pack. I can develop this map in WTX and then deploy it to Broker node. The question I have is regarding input to WMB. The input will come in WMB through a message in MQ queue. I have two options
1. For MQ input node use BLOB domain to parse it and then pass it to WTX map node
2. Create a X12 message set based on export from WTX and then use that message set to parse it and then pass it to WTX map node.
I have not used the node yet but just want to know which one works best? Performance wise it sounds like option 1 would be better but I am not sure the node accepts BLOB. Is there any link for documentation related to this node?
Regards

Parsing as BLOB and invoking the WTX node is the way to go.
Even if you pass a parsed message broker MRM structure to the map, the Input Tree [WTX for InputRoot] treats this is a binary stream of data.
Do remember to pass the correct values for CCSID and the Encoding of the message that you send into the WTX node. This will save you a lot of debug time. |

Hi Kiran,
We are in the same boat now? How you resolved the parsing issue with WTX in WMB?
Thanks

i feel there is no need to do schema validation at MQ Input node, as the same happens at WTX side.
incase if you are looking for double validation then Option 2 is suitable.
For Option 1, you have to build a robust error handling scenario.

I don't see any benefit in option 1, unless you want to heat your server room by running your CPUs a little hotter

Nobody has even mentioned schema validation. The WTX industry pack might well do some validation of the incoming messages - and some of it might go significantly deeper than schema validation.

I agree. |

What version of WMB WTX are you using? If you are doing v6 WMB then you will likely be better off with BLOB in WMB. WMB will pass the bitstream to WTX where WTX will parse it. That said, in this scenario you will have some workable challeneges with exceptions. WTX will fail invalid data, and not be exceptionally helpful communicating back to the broker with why.
If you are using v6.1 you can build your maps using an MRM tree. This will allow a parse to occur in WMB and the parsed data will be used by WTX for mapping. This would also provide more options for error reporting. |
