Using Database Tables appendix in the Administration Guide

1

Your trading partner creates a data file (in which ContentType is set 
to Application/EDI. An associated message ID is created in the 
Outbox.

2

Your partner sends it to your Gentran Application Inbox, which 
creates a new target message ID.

3

The CommMgr (the Gentran:Server Executive service) recognizes 
the ContentType as Application/EDI. It receives the data and stores 
the external data reference in the ExtData_tb in the same way as 
described in the previous section, except that since CommMgr 
receives the data, it saves this database entry.

4

The CommMgr builds a temporary session file using the 
GDW_Process_MBFile command for unattended processing to 
execute, and Process Control invokes Commpost.

5

Commpost builds the IPC file, which includes writing the external 
data key and the start and end offset indicators in the transmission 
file for the given interchange.

6

Commpost invokes the Translator for each interchange to finish 
processing the data, and writes the entry in the ExtDataXref_tb to 
link the external data reference to the Gentran data.
