Re: Converting EDI (850) to XML and converting XML to EDI - Use BizTalk

Actually biztalk will nativly map a number of EDI documents to XML. It does
this by creating a style sheet and applying the XSLT to either the EDI or
the XML.

An example of the transformation may be EDI--> XML--> Flat File --> XML -->
EDI

This transformation may take place over a number of different business processes.

If you are interested I will try and post the standard EDI docs that Biztalk
nativly supports, however, they are listed in the help file that accompanies
BizTalk Server 2000.

You can also use a product called Mercator which was designed for this type
of application. It can also map a number of other formats. You can check
out their website at www.mercator.com.
