Having problems passing-through an X12 message. What am I missing?

Question

Question

What settings do I need to just passthrough an X12 messages from a BS to BO and out the BO without modifying the message?

Currently, we are receiving the X12 messages but, it seems Iris is modifying it by "hiding" some segments like the ISA segment. The message goes out the BO modified and it doesn't reach its destination. Since I just want to pass it through, there is no BP, DTL, or Rule processing the message. Message is received by the BS and sent directly to the BO.

My current settings:

The BS is set as
- TCP with Class Name: EnsLib.EDI.X12.Service.TCPService
- Adapter Class Name: EnsLib.EDI.X12.Adapter.TCPInboundAdapter
- Doc Schema Category: HIPAA_5010
- Batch Handling: Individual
- Framing: None

Product version: IRIS 2023.1

$ZV: IRIS 2023.1.3

Sounds like a separators issue. I set that as empty on both the service and operation, which assumes the messages will be formatted with whatever separators are indicated in the ISA segment.

Try changing Batch Handling to "Whole Batch".

Hi Marc,

I tried "Whole Batch" and got the opposite from before. With this setting, the message is showing ISA header and 2 more segments (GroupDocsRef and IEA). It is "hiding" the rest. It is still not passing through the message.

Message is changed to (1st picture). Clicking on Group documents "110" a second Group batch opens (2nd picture)

After clicking on TransactionSet documents "111", another section opens with the rest of the message.

Is it possible to just pass through the message without hiding those sections? What settings do I need to do that?

Would Framing matter? It was set up as "Flexible" when Batch Handling was set up as "Whole Batch".

Thank you!

I used Single-Session batch and used a business process/router to send only the Interchange DocType to the operation. The Group and Transaction sets within are referenced from the Interchange and are automatically re-assembled by the operation.

@Jeffrey Drumm and @Marc Mundt
Thank you for your suggestions!

This setting allowed the X12 message to go to Epic... Batch Handling was set to "Whole Batch" and Framing on the BO to "Epic02/03" (Framing in BS was already set to "Flexible).

Another issue that came up is the message is appearing in Epic with newlines after each segment. The Raw Contents in Iris Message Viewer (in the BS and BO) show the message without extra line in between segments. Does this mean Iris is sending the message without extra lines? Is there a setting in Iris that is adding the extra lines? BS setting Tolerate Newlines is true.

Thanks again!

Thanks Jeffrey! I removed "\n" from Separators and resolved the issue.

This is just how the message viewer displays it. But is the message complete when the business operation writes it to the file?
