SPEDeenvelopingService not returning compliance error to B2BI ProcessData - Data is malformed and expecting non-compliant message from ITXA to the calling B2Bi Business Process - Advanced Status

B2BI submission of SPE deenveloping Service and the customer is expecting the response to set the BP STATE: HALTED and the Advanced Status: Resource edifactdata.txt: Transaction-Non-Compliant ....when there are issues with Segments and Elements.

This only happens when a 997 or CONTRL acknowledgment is triggered (from EDI header trigger or ITXA envelope setting).

If there is no acknowledgment created, the response returned to the BP Success

How will this idea be used?

Production data is running through B2Bi calling ITXA Deenvelope. So, when we consider migrating customers to ITXA, we should have this data compliance flagged (In STATUS & ADVANCED STATUS) even without an ACK request set in the doc/message. Returning a STATUS = Success when the data was non-compliant is not acceptable.
Some trading partners do not want Acknowledgments at all!

    Hi Mike,


    Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM.

    We have reviewed the idea with ITXA and B2Bi teams and we will not be able to add this to the roadmap.


    Thanks,
