EDI for Cloud v2 Get Status Activity¶

Introduction¶

An EDI for Cloud v2 Get Status activity, using its EDI for Cloud v2 connection, retrieves the status of documents from Harmony EDI and is intended to be used as a source to provide data in an operation.

To use the Get Status activity, you must first use a Get Document or Send Document activity to retrieve the internal document identifier, eiCloudId or docInfo respectively, for the document. eiCloudId and docInfo represent the same identifier. The docInfo value must be provided in the Get Status activity's request schema.

Create an EDI for Cloud v2 Get Status Activity¶

An instance of an EDI for Cloud v2 Get Status activity is created from an EDI for Cloud v2 connection using its Get Status activity type.

To create an instance of an activity, drag the activity type to the design canvas or copy the activity type and paste it on the design canvas. For details, see Create an Activity Instance in Component Reuse.

An existing EDI for Cloud v2 Get Status activity can be edited from these locations:

• The design canvas (see Component Actions Menu in Design Canvas).
• The project pane's Components tab (see Component Actions Menu in Project Pane Components Tab).

Configure an EDI for Cloud v2 Get Status Activity¶

Follow these steps to configure an EDI for Cloud v2 Get Status activity:

• Step 1: Enter a Name
  Enter a name for the activity.

• Step 2: Review the Data Schemas
  Any request or response schemas are displayed.

Step 1: Enter a Name¶

In this step, enter a name for the activity. Each user interface element of this step is described below.

• Name: Enter a name to identify the activity. The name must be unique for each EDI for Cloud v2 Get Status activity and must not contain forward slashes / or colons :.

• Save & Exit: If enabled, click to save the configuration for this step and close the activity configuration.

• Next: Click to temporarily store the configuration for this step and continue to the next step. The configuration will not be saved until you click the Finished button on the last step.

• Discard Changes: After making changes, click to close the configuration without saving changes made to any step. A message asks you to confirm that you want to discard changes.

Step 2: Review the Data Schemas¶

Any request or response schemas are displayed. Each user interface element of this step is described below.

• Data Schemas: These data schemas are inherited by adjacent transformations and are displayed again during transformation mapping.

  The EDI for Cloud v2 connector uses a custom Jitterbit API.

  The request and response data schemas consist of these nodes and fields:

  • Request:

    Request Schema Node/Field	Description
    GetDocStatusRequest	Request to retrieve the document transaction status.
    Documents	Node representing the documents.
    docInfo	Long integer of the internal document identifier. It can be obtained using a Get Document or Send Document activity.

  • Response:

    Response Schema Node/Field	Description
    GetDocStatusResponse	Response from retrieving the document transaction status
    Documents	Node representing the documents.
    docInfo	Long integer of the internal document identifier.
    documentId	String of an alternate document identifier.
    docType	String of an EDI Document Type.
    statusId	String of a document transaction status, one of Success, InProcess, or Error.
    error	String detailing the document transaction error if the status is Error.

• Refresh: Click the refresh icon or the word Refresh to regenerate schemas from the EDI for Cloud v2 endpoint. This action also regenerates a schema in other locations throughout the project where the same schema is referenced, such as in an adjacent transformation.

• Back: Click to temporarily store the configuration for this step and return to the previous step.

• Finished: Click to save the configuration for all steps and close the activity configuration.

• Discard Changes: After making changes, click to close the configuration without saving changes made to any step. A message asks you to confirm that you want to discard changes.

Next Steps¶

After configuring an EDI for Cloud v2 Get Status activity, complete the configuration of the operation by adding and configuring other activities, transformations, or scripts as operation steps. You can also configure the operation settings, which include the ability to chain operations together that are in the same or different workflows.

Menu actions for an activity are accessible from the project pane and the design canvas. For details, see Activity Actions Menu in Connector Basics.

EDI for Cloud v2 Get Status activities can be used as a source with these operation patterns:

• Transformation Pattern
• Two-target Archive Pattern (as the first source only)
• Two-target HTTP Archive Pattern (as the first source only)
• Two-transformation Pattern (as the first or second source)

To use the activity with scripting functions, write the data to a temporary location and then use that temporary location in the scripting function.

When ready, deploy and run the operation and validate behavior by checking the operation logs.
