Using Acknowledgements

Special Considerations for EDIFACT Acknowledgements

8 - 11

When creating an outbound EDIFACT Control document, the default system 
behavior is to extract the Sender ID and Receiver ID from the Internal System 
User partner. According to the EDIFACT standard, the Sender ID and Receiver ID 
in the UCI and UCF record of the Control document should contain the values 
from the Inbound UNB and UNG segment, respectively.

The Gentran:Server product CD (in the Maps\Special directory) contains the 
translation object CntrlBld_DLL.tpl. This map enables you to obtain the Sender 
ID and Receiver ID from the inbound data file via a user exit that accesses the 
GentranAutomation.DLL. The GentranAutomation.DLL is automatically 
registered when you install or upgrade the product. This DLL is currently only 
used by the CntrlBld_DLL map. 

Note
You can either use either functionality. The default translation object selected for 
the Outbound Control Build relationship is the ACKBUILD_CONTRL. 

To use the CntrlBld_DLL.tpl functionality to obtain the Sender ID and Receiver 
ID, complete the following steps:
