The following are required in order to create the X12 inbound processing channel:

• A working knowledge of the iWay Service Manager.

• The archived channel zip file: X12ToXML_IB_QS_pflow_ackrpt_channel.zip.

  Note: For your convenience, the X12ToXML_IB_QS_pflow_ackrpt_channel.zip file is attached to this PDF.

  For PDF-compatibility purposes, the file extension of the X12ToXML_IB_QS_pflow_ackrpt_channel.zip file is temporarily renamed to .zap. After saving this file to your system, you must rename this extension back to .zip before it can be imported to iWay Service Manager.

  Save the X12ToXML_IB_QS_pflow_ackrpt_channel.zip file to the following location:

  <iWaySMHome>\etc\repository\manager\archives

  where:

  <iWaySMHome>

  Is the directory where iWay Service Manager is installed (for example, C:\Program Files\iWay60).

  

• The input data files representing valid and invalid data (X12_4010_810good_sample.x12 and X12_4010_856bad_sample.x12).

  Note: For your convenience, the input data files are also attached to this PDF.

• X12 Ebix (e-Business Information Exchange) from http://techsupport.informationbuilders.com.
