What is EDI?
Getting Started
What is EDI?
EDI is electronic data interchange. Simply, EDI is a method for communicating data at high rates
of speed – from computer to computer. The following descriptions explain the basic requirements
to accomplish communication.
•
Standards
Standards are extremely detailed formats for communicating specific types of
information. Standards are created and agreed upon by various industries and
countries. Standards are not a language. They are a specification for how data is to
be arranged. By using public standards, individual companies can use any
computer system and application and still communicate without confusion.
•
Translation
Translation is the process of taking data that is prepared by your application
programs and placing the data into a public standard, or the reverse process. You
set up translations between application file formats and public standards by a
process called mapping. Sterling Gentran:Basic is the software program that
translates the data to and from standards.
•
Trading Partners
Trading partners are the parties with whom you agree to exchange data, such as
your vendors or suppliers.
To explain how EDI works, we first describe how data is exchanged manually. Then, we describe
how the same data can be electronically exchanged.
Manual Data Exchange
The following example shows how data might be manually exchanged. Notice how many steps it
can take to complete the exchange for purchasing only one pocket protector.
1.
The buyer begins preparing a purchase order (P.O.) form for the pocket protector.
2.
The buyer researches to determine how the manufacturer requires submission of P.O.s for
pocket protectors.
3.
After gathering the data, the buyer translates the order to meet the manufacturer's
requirements.
4.
The buyer incorporates the translated data into the P.O. Then, the buyer mails the P.O.
form to the manufacturer.
5.
After progressing through a mail-sorting process, the P.O. is delivered to the manufacturer.
6.
The manufacturer routes the P.O. for the pocket protector to the proper department(s) for
processing (such as billing, picking, and shipping).
The entire process repeats in reverse when the manufacturer responds with an invoice. With all
conditions being ideal and no errors occurring, the entire exchange can take up to eight business
days. If there are any problems, corrections, or incorrect translations, the process may stretch into
weeks.
IBM Sterling Gentran:Basic for z/OS Release 6.6 User Guide

Getting Started
EDI Terms
Electronic Data Interchange
The following example shows how data might be electronically exchanged. Most of the steps
necessary to purchase one pocket protector automatically occur; thus, reducing processing time
and data-entry errors.
1.
2.
The buyer enters the order for one pocket protector into a computer terminal and an
in-house purchasing system. After initiating the order, the following tasks occur behindthe-scenes:
a.
The in-house application passes the P.O. to Sterling Gentran:Basic.
b.
Sterling Gentran:Basic maps the in-house application format to the appropriate
public standards format.
c.
The standard is verified and transmission envelopes are generated.
d.
An audit trail is created for tracking the document and acknowledgments.
e.
Sterling Gentran:Basic passes the standardized document to the buyer’s
communications system and the document is transmitted to the manufacturer.
The manufacturer receives the document and transmits an acknowledgment of its receipt,
and then processes it.
Even in a reverse situation when the manufacturer sends the buyer an invoice and the buyer
responds with an acknowledgment, a reduction in processing time occurs. In addition, a number of
verifications, confirmations, and detailed records result for both the buyer and the manufacturer.
EDI Terms
The following list provides definitions for basic EDI terms used frequently throughout this guide.
1-6
Application
An in-house program that processes data. Your application file format
is the way your business prefers to view and process data.
Document
One complete piece of data. For example, one purchase order.
Transaction Set
When you translate from your application file format to a public
standard, you are translating your document to a transaction set.
Envelope
An electronic transmission header and trailer that can surround one or
more transaction sets and/or types. For example, one envelope could
contain three purchase orders, four invoices, and six
acknowledgments.
Segment
A single line of a transaction set; for example, the Bill To segment.
Data Element
The individual parts of a segment; for example, Bill To City or Bill To
Postal Code).
IBM Sterling Gentran:Basic for z/OS Release 6.6 User Guide
System Overview
Getting Started
System Overview
Sterling Gentran:Basic is a data translation and management system. It allows you to easily
communicate with your trading partners (those with whom you do business) through electronic
data interchange — EDI. To accomplish this action, you need to provide, through
communications, all your documents in a public standard, and likewise be prepared to interpret
documents sent to you in a defined public standard.
This process might be relatively simple if you deal with only one standard and one trading partner.
However, each industry has specific requirements that must be met, and every trading partner has
different requirements for doing business. These requirements mean that you must be able to
communicate in the appropriate standard, as well as the appropriate version of the standards, for
each trading partner. The task is further complicated by the need to acknowledge the receipt of
documents and monitor data for errors.
The normal operation of Sterling Gentran:Basic can be divided into two types of processing:
inbound processing and outbound processing.

System Overview
Inbound Processing
When your trading partner sends you EDI documents, they are in the format of a public standard.
When your computer system receives an EDI document, Sterling Gentran:Basic goes to work.

IBM Sterling Gentran:Basic for z/OS Release 6.6 User Guide
System Overview
Getting Started
The following steps outline inbound processing from the receipt of transaction sets from a trading
partner to your application file format:
1.
Your trading partner sends you documents in a public standard that you have mutually
agreed upon. You will probably receive these files via telecommunications.
2.
The documents are stored in an EDI input file.
3.
The EDI input file is passed to the inbound Editor. The Editor also uses the following files:
File
Contents of File
Table File
Public standards
Error Message File
Sterling Gentran:Basic error messages
Databanking File
Records of inbound and outbound
activity
Global Parameters File
Overall system operating rules
Partner Profile
Partner-specific operating rules
If the documents are wrapped, they are unwrapped at this point. Unwrapping means each
new segment is aligned to the start of a new record.
The inbound Editor uses the partner profile information for this trading partner to know
what to do (e.g., data separation and error rejection) and how to respond to the inbound
documents (e.g., acknowledgments generated). The Editor checks the EDI data to ensure
that it complies with the standard. If it doesn’t, the Editor creates an error report, and
possibly marks the data, or part of it, for rejection.
4.
The edited data is passed to an Intermediate file. The Databanking file is updated to record
receipt of documents and acknowledgements of previous documents that you transmitted.
5.
The Intermediate file is passed to the Inbound Split program. This program separates the
inbound data according to your criteria and rejects data that does not comply with
standards (as previously marked by the inbound Editor).
6.
The separated data is translated to your application file format, using the maps you have
created in the online Mapping subsystem.

System Overview
Outbound Processing
Outbound processing prepares your application output data for transmission to your trading
partners. Like inbound processing, outbound processing translates your application data to the
chosen standard and checks all data to ensure compliance with the selected public standard.

IBM Sterling Gentran:Basic for z/OS Release 6.6 User Guide
System Overview
Getting Started
These steps outline outbound processing from your application file format to transaction sets for
your trading partner.
1.
The system takes the data from your application output file. Using the maps you created,
Sterling Gentran:Basic translates this data to a public standard.
2.
The system generates the control envelopes necessary for transmitting the data.
3.
The Intermediate file is passed to the outbound Editor. The Editor also uses the following
files:
File
Contents of File
Table File
Public standards
Error Message File
Sterling Gentran:Basic error messages
Databanking File
Records of inbound and outbound
activity
Global Parameters File
Overall system operating rules
Partner Profile
Partner-specific operating rules
Along with this intermediate file, functional acknowledgments created by the inbound
Editor are input for compliance checking and audit updating. The outbound Editor uses
the partner profile information for this trading partner as instructions (such as, standards,
data separation, or error rejection). The Editor ensures that the document complies to the
standard. If it does not comply, the Editor creates an error report and may mark the data for
rejection.
4.
The Databanking file is updated to record transmission of functional acknowledgments
and outbound documents.
After the outbound data has been translated to standard format, it must continue on toward
transmission to the trading partner.
5.
The standard format file is passed to the Outbound Split program. This program divides
the outbound data according to your criteria and rejects data that does not comply with
standards (as previously marked by the outbound Editor).
6.
The separated data is now ready for transmission to your trading partner.

Databank Maintenance
Databank Maintenance
Databank Maintenance provides the online ability to directly control and view application data and
EDI data processed by Sterling Gentran:Basic. Change Audit functions provide complete details of
all online changes made by users to databank data. The Online Log display is also available within
the Databank subsystem for viewing system status and exceptions.
Why Use Databanking?
Benefits derived from using databanking include:
•
Improved data control
•
Reduced number of re-transmissions
•
Improved response to trading partners requirements
Functions of Databanking
Databanking functions fall into four general categories:
•
EDI data-related control and inquiry functions
•
Application document-related control and inquiry functions
•
Change Audit-related inquiry functions
•
Online Log display from which you can monitor system status and exceptions
The Sterling Gentran:Basic Databank facility takes advantage of the proven functions already in
the Sterling Gentran:Basic family of products, while adding functionality that provides flexible
control of documents as they pass through the system. The Databank Facility option, if
implemented, is an integral part of your Sterling Gentran:Basic system.
Note: Using the Databank facility is optional.

Getting Started
Getting Started with Sterling Gentran:Basic
As you are getting ready to install Sterling Gentran:Basic, put together a project team that
understands all the components of the system and how it works in your operation. You will install
Sterling Gentran:Basic and ensure that it is running according to design. We can provide
consultants to train your staff in the use of the parameters to manage the activities of the system.
See the IBM® Sterling Gentran:Basic® for z/OS® Release 6.6 Installation Guide for specific
details on arranging the Sterling Gentran:Basic libraries.
Your responsibilities for installing Sterling Gentran:Basic include the following tasks:
•
Initial loading and testing of the system
•
Daily operation/running of the system, including job control language (JCL)
•
Understanding and setting up a few system parameters
•
Getting data to and from other EDI partners (This action is usually accomplished
with data communications.)
•
Creating and maintaining the maps that translate data from your application file
format to the public standards used in communicating with your trading partners,
and the reverse
•
Defining where the system files reside in your environment
Where Sterling Gentran:Basic Fits Into Your Computer Environment
Sterling Gentran:Basic is designed to be the user interface between your application systems and
your EDI trading partners. The system takes the application files you have defined and translates
them to standard formats, validates them, and prepares them for transmission. The system expects
incoming data from your trading partner to be in a specified public standard that it verifies and
translates to your application file format.
To complete this process, Sterling Gentran:Basic expects incoming data files to have been created
from another source and deposited on your computer. The typical method used to perform this task
is data communication, such as standard RJE (remote job entry), using any acceptable data
communication protocol. However, RJE is not a requirement. Tape transfer of data between
machines (or any other mechanism) for depositing the incoming data on your computer is
acceptable. Sterling Gentran:Basic is not sensitive to the way data is deposited on your computer.
Getting the data to the computer is the responsibility of you and your EDI partners.

Sterling Gentran:Basic Online System Operation Basics
Getting Started
Sterling Gentran:Basic Online System Operation Basics
This section defines the basics of operating the Sterling Gentran:Basic online system. The design
of the online system allows easy access and maintenance of the required information for smooth
communication using EDI. Although there are several system features that have specific
commands and uses, the majority of the system can be operated using a few basic commands.
Logging on to Sterling Gentran:Basic
Sterling Gentran:Basic uses a security system that limits access through the use of User IDs and
passwords. Sterling Gentran:Basic security controls who can use the online system and what
features they may access.
See Chapter 5, “The Administration Subsystem,” for specific information about security.
1.
See your system administrator to receive a Logon ID and password to start the online
Sterling Gentran:Basic system. You also need information on how to access CICS.
The Sterling Gentran:Basic User ID is an identifier, most likely your initials or name. This
ID enables the system to recognize you, determines which features you have access to, and
tracks file changes. The password is a word, including letters and numbers, that prevents
others from logging on to the system using your ID (only you and the system administrator
should know your password). If someone else uses your User ID and password, any
changes that a user makes in a Sterling Gentran:Basic file are attributed to you.

Screen Fields
These fields contain data specific to each screen. Some fields require you to enter information;
others are display-only. Screen fields are located between the screen title and the message line.
Message Line
This line displays Sterling Gentran messages. These messages inform you that an error has
occurred, verify that a function was performed, or supply you with additional information. The
message line is located above the function keys.
Function Keys
Function keys include both standard commands that are common throughout the Sterling Gentran
system, as well as commands that are specific to the current screen. The function key line varies
from screen to screen; only the function keys that are valid for the current screen are displayed.
You will see only function keys for commands that you are allowed to perform. This is maintained
under the Security Maintenance Menu. Each valid program function key and the function it
executes are displayed at the bottom of each screen.
Where function keys are located on your keyboard depends on your keyboard model. In addition,
some keyboards do not have dedicated function keys, and instead require you to press a
combination of keys to perform a function key function.
See your system administrator for information about your hardware configuration and function
key usage.
Action Bar
The action bar is the top line of multi-record screens, such as directory screens. The action bar
displays available actions that you can perform for the current screen. Single-record screens
typically use PF keys to perform desired functions.
Action Code Field
The Action Code field (abbreviated to the A field) is the left-most column of each line item on
multi-record screens. An action code is the first letter of any action listed in the action bar.

Basic File Maintenance Procedures
Getting Started
Basic File Maintenance Procedures
Online file maintenance procedures are the same for all Sterling Gentran:Basic features. File
maintenance consists of these three tasks:
•
Add
•
Update
•
Delete
The following sections describe these tasks in more detail.
Add
The Add command creates a record that did not previously exist. Type the data in the appropriate
screen fields, and press PF9 to process the Add command. The system displays a message
informing you that the record was added. If the system was unable to add a record, or if there are
missing required field data or errors, a warning is displayed. If you exit the screen before you press
PF9 to add the record, the data you entered on the screen is not saved.
Update
When you change an existing record, update the record to apply the changes. The system displays
a message telling you that the record has been updated, or a warning if there were any errors. If
you exit the screen before you press PF10 for Update, the information you entered on the screen is
not saved. To update the file, press PF10 before you exit the screen.
Delete
When you want to delete an existing record from the Sterling Gentran:Basic system, use the Delete
command. You cannot recover a deleted record.
See your system administrator for more information on data recovery.
To delete a file or record, first display the correct record and then press PF11 to delete the file or
record. The system displays a message requesting you to verify that the item you selected is the
item you want to delete by pressing PF11 again. The system displays a message telling you that
the record has been deleted. If you decide not to delete the record, press PF12 for Cancel key. The
cancel feature does not work if you have already confirmed the deletion.
Note: The Databanking feature uses the term delete in a slightly
different manner from the file maintenance delete. In the
online Databank Maintenance, you mark a record for
deletion but it is not physically removed from the file
until the batch Databank Maintenance is run against the
databank file.

Jump Codes
Jump Codes
A jump code is a 10-character alphanumeric field located at the upper left corner of each Sterling
Gentran:Basic screen. This field enables you to move, or jump, directly from one screen to another
while bypassing menus. All screens that are accessible via a Sterling Gentran:Basic menu have
jump code values associated with them. Screens that are accessible only from detail screens do not
have jump code values associated with them.
How to Jump Between Screens
You can jump between screens without having to navigate using the Sterling Gentran:Basic
menus. Use the following procedure to jump between screens:
1.
Press Home.
The insertion point moves to the Jump Code field at the top of the screen to the right of the
screen name.
2.
Type the jump code and press Enter.
See Appendix A for a complete list of jump codes and their associated screens.
Following are some terms and definitions used in this discussion:
1 - 30
Term
Meaning
Subsystem
A set of functionally-related screens that are directly accessible
from the Sterling Gentran Main Menu (Partner Maintenance,
Standards Maintenance, Databank Maintenance, Administrative
Maintenance, Mapping Maintenance)
Navigation
The movement from screen to screen by entering data then
pressing function keys (such as PF1, PF2) or by selecting options
on menus and pressing Enter
Position
The location within a subsystem file (or group of files) that
displays the data (either one record or multiple records) on the
screen
IBM Sterling Gentran:Basic for z/OS Release 6.6 User Guide
Jump Codes
Getting Started
Types of Jump Codes
There are three types of jump codes, which are listed below. These types of jump codes are
described more fully in the paragraphs that follow.
•
Numeric
•
Alphabetic
•
Special character
Numeric Jump Codes
Numeric jump codes consist of numbers separated by periods (.). The numbers in the jump code
correspond to the numbers selected on menus, in the order in which they are selected.
Example
To display the Application Data ID screen, you could navigate using the Sterling Gentran:Basic
menus by performing the following steps:
1.
Type 5 on the Sterling Gentran Main Menu and press Enter.
2.
Type 1 on the Mapping Maintenance Menu and press Enter.
3.
Type 2 on the Application Definition Menu and press Enter.
... OR you could jump directly to the Application Data ID screen by performing these steps:
1.
Press Home.
2.
Type 5.1.2 in the Jump Code field of any screen and press Enter.
See Appendix A for a complete list of jump codes and their associated screens.
Alphabetic Jump Codes
Alphabetic jump codes consist of alphabetic characters separated by periods (.). The alphabetic
code is an abbreviated reference to the screen name or function. For example, to display the
Application Data ID screen using the alphabetic jump code, type APP.DEF or APP.ID in the Jump
Code field of any screen and press Enter.
See Appendix A for a complete list of jump codes and their associated screens.
Special Character Jump Codes
Special character jump codes enable you to perform standard or generic functions with jump
codes. The two special character jump codes are SWAP and EXIT.
•
SWAP enables you to jump between Sterling Gentran:Basic online subsystems
(not within subsystems). When you use jump code SWAP, you jump to the last
screen you jumped from (but not navigated from), from another subsystem. When
you jump from a different subsystem, you reset the SWAP positioning to the
screen you are jumping from.
IBM Sterling Gentran:Basic for z/OS Release 6.6 User Guide
1 - 31
Getting Started
Jump Codes
Example
Let’s say you have the Group Information screen in the Partner subsystem
displayed, and then you display the Transaction Information screen (also in the
Partner subsystem). From here, you jump to the Name and Address screen (again,
in the Partner subsystem). Next, you jump to the Transaction screen in the
Standards subsystem. After you view the information on the Transaction screen,
you type SWAP in the Jump Code field to return to your previous location in the
Partner subsystem. As you expect, SWAP returns you to the Name and Address
screen in the Partner subsystem, because this is the screen from which you jumped
to the Standards subsystem.
•
EXIT (or X) enables you to jump to the Sterling Gentran:Basic Logoff screen.
This feature provides a quick and easy way to exit the Sterling Gentran:Basic
system from any screen.
User-defined Jump Code Table
The User-Defined Jump Code table is a user customization facility that enables you to define your
own jump code values. This facility requires a table that consists of the 10-character user code and
the 10-character Sterling Gentran:Basic jump code. It must be coded in an Assembler table and the
name of the table must be entered on the Configuration file (Record Type 0). An entry for the table
name must be added to your CICS resource definitions.
When you type a jump code, the system verifies that the jump code you entered is valid by first
checking the User-Defined Jump Code table. If you have not defined a User-Defined Jump Code
table, or if the jump code you entered is not in that table, then the system checks the default jump
code table.
For help using the User-Defined Jump Code Table, see member EDIJUMP in the
GENTRAN.V6X6.UTILITY SOURCE LIBRARY.
Jump Code Guidelines
The Sterling Gentran:Basic system keeps independent position information for each subsystem
(Partner, Standards, Databank, Administrative, Mapping), as well as for Sterling Gentran:Basic
add-on products (Plus, Control, Realtime, Viewpoint). The independence of these subsystems
enables you to jump or navigate from subsystem to subsystem without having to re-enter a key for
that screen.
The general rules for using jump codes are the following:
1 - 32
•
You can jump to only screens that are directly accessible through selecting menu
options.
•
You can jump from any screen.
•
Navigating or jumping to the Sterling Gentran:Basic Copyright/Signon screen, or
exiting the Sterling Gentran:Basic system, clears the positions for all subsystems.
•
After you jump from one subsystem to another subsystem, you can return directly
to the screen you jumped from by typing SWAP in the Jump Code field.
IBM Sterling Gentran:Basic for z/OS Release 6.6 User Guide
Jump Codes
Getting Started
•
You cannot use SWAP to jump between screens within the same subsystem.
•
Typing SWAP is the only method by which you can jump to a screen that has no
jump code associated with it, as long as SWAP positioning has been established
by jumping from one subsystem screen to a different subsystem screen.
•
An invalid jump code causes the system to return to the jumped from screen and
display the message Invalid jump code entered.
•
You cannot jump to subsystems that are not installed or for which you do not have
security access. The message Invalid jump — user lacks authority is
displayed on the screen.

What is a Partner Profile?
To successfully facilitate electronic commerce, Sterling Gentran requires specific information
about each trading partner. Whether intra-company or inter-company in nature, all trading partner
relationships are defined and maintained in Sterling Gentran, on the Partner Maintenance
subsystem.
You can choose from two processing methodologies when defining the partner profile: Partner/
Qualifier mode and Relationship mode. The Partner/Qualifier method defines your organization
and each trading partner as separate and distinct entities on the partner profile. This method
permits each trading partner to be used in multiple relationships. With the Relationship method,
you first identify the inter- or intra- business relationships. Then, you define each identified
relationship separately and distinctly on the partner profile. This method is ideal for defining
multiple entities within your organization with shared (common) trading partners. In addition, the
Relationship method provides uniqueness for identification purposes that would not be possible if
the trading partner were defined using the Partner/Qualifier method. Both processing modes can
be selected and maintained through the Configuration subsystem.
The Partner/Qualifier mode creates a loosely coupled relationship between trading partners. One
Partner ID and Qualifier is defined for each trading partner and for each entity within an
organization involved with e-commerce. With the Partner/Qualifier method, relationships are
defined externally to the partner profile during processing.
The Relationship mode creates a closely coupled relationship between trading partners. Each
relationship is uniquely defined on the partner profile in a user/partner format where the User side
always represents your organization and the Partner side always represents your trading partner.
To bridge the transition from EDI Sender ID, EDI Sender ID Qualifier, EDI Receiver ID, and EDI
Receiver ID Qualifier found on your EDI documents to a user/partner key on the partner profile,
Sterling Gentran uses a partner Relationship file. This file is built and maintained online through
CICS.
Note: For the existing Sterling Gentran user who used
Relationship mode in Release 6.0 and who does not want
to expand that usage to the partner profile, a Mixed mode
is available in Release 6.6. In Mixed mode, the partner
profile is configured in Partner/Qualifier mode, and the
databank is set up in Relationship mode.

The Partner Subsystem
Before You Begin
What is in this Chapter?
This chapter explains the menus and screens of the Sterling Gentran:Basic partner profile, which is
accessed through the Partner subsystem. In addition, this chapter describes how to perform the
following functions:
•
Add a new trading partner using either Partner/Qualifier or Relationship mode
•
Copy and rename an existing trading partner
•
Add name, address, and contact information for a trading partner
•
Set up error rejection criteria by trading partner
•
Set up data separation by trading partner
•
Add notes or special instructions to a user defined record by trading partner
•
Define an alias Partner ID and Qualifiers through a partner cross-reference file
•
Define user/partner relationships for a trading partner
•
Define and maintain multiple interchange, group, and transaction sets under a
common trading partner
•
Maintain interchange header, functional groups, and transaction set information
for inbound and outbound processing by trading partner
How to Access the Partner Subsystem
The screen flow is determined by the partner processing mode, Partner/Qualifier or Relationship
mode, selected from Configuration Maintenance.
Note: In the Configuration Maintenance, the On-Line Options –
Record Type 0 (Panel 2 of 3) screen enables you to define
the partner processing mode for the trading partner
profile.
See Chapter 5, “The Administration Subsystem,” for
more information about Configuration Maintenance.
You can display all the screens in the Partner subsystem from the Partner Maintenance Menu.
Perform either of these two actions to display the Partner Maintenance Menu:
2-4
•
From the Sterling Gentran Main Menu, type 1 to select the Partner Maintenance
Menu subsystem.
•
Type 1.0 in the Jump Code field on any screen in Sterling Gentran:Basic.
IBM Sterling Gentran:Basic for z/OS Release 6.6 User Guide
Before You Begin
The Partner Subsystem
Each menu contains a selection field allowing you to type the number of a task selection as listed
on the menu. After typing the task number and pressing Enter, Sterling Gentran displays the
appropriate screen. When you make a menu selection, the system displays screens that prompt you
through the processes available in the Partner Profile Maintenance feature. There are 39 screens
available in the Partner Profile Maintenance feature. Some screens allow you to perform a subtask
and are only accessible from another screen (e.g., Control Information screens). Subtask screens
are not listed on the menus.
When performing partner profile maintenance, consider the following:
1.
There are eight record types that comprise a single trading partner definition on the partner
profile. All screens point to one or more of these records. The order of the record key is
defined by you and consists of the Partner ID and Qualifier (Partner/Qualifier mode) or
user/partner (Relationship) mode. Adding or selecting a particular trading partner can only
be accomplished through the Partner Selection Menu screen. The record key entered on
this screen is used to read (or write) all other record types that make up a trading partner
on the partner profile.
2.
For any hexadecimal conversion fields (e.g., element separators), the system evaluates the
single position alphanumeric field first, then the two position hexadecimal field.
Therefore, any time data is entered in both fields, the system overlays the value entered in
the hexadecimal field with the hexadecimal value of the first alphanumeric field.
3.
Users with Level 1 security have unrestricted file maintenance rights. If you have Level 2
security, you may be allowed to perform additions, updates, and deletions to the trading
partner profile records. The system displays the PF9=Add, PF10=Updt, and PF11=Del
function keys. If you have Level 3 security, you are not able to add, update, or delete
trading partner profile records, and the function keys are not displayed. When adding a
new record, the default value is Y for the Update Flag.
4.
You can view and maintain records only for those trading partners having the same
division code as your own. The system displays all trading partners when the division
code equals 000. Any record that contains a division code of spaces is considered to be a
corporate record, and can be used by more than one division. All users can access these
records.
See the topic “User ID Maintenance Screen” in Chapter 5, “The Administration
Subsystem,” for more information on Division access.
Figure 2.1 and Figure 2.2 illustrate how to navigate through the Partner subsystem for the
Partner/Qualifier and Relationship modes. The labeled boxes represent screens in the subsystem.

Partner Jump Codes
A jump code is a 10-character alphanumeric field located at the upper left corner of each Sterling
Gentran:Basic screen. This field enables you to move, or jump, directly from one screen to
another, within a subsystem, while bypassing menu screens. All screens that are accessible through
a Sterling Gentran:Basic menu have jump codes associated with them. Screens that are accessible
only from detail screens do not have jump codes associated with them.
See Chapter 1, “Getting Started,” for further information on using jump codes.

Copy All Feature
Sterling Gentran:Basic helps prevent you from duplicating and overwriting user records that may
already exist. The Copy All Records feature provides you with the ability to efficiently copy
records from an existing trading partner to a newly added trading partner. From the Partner
Selection Menu, you can add a new Partner Profile ID and copy to it all of the records from an
existing Partner Profile ID.
See the topic “Copy All Records Screen” for more information about the Copy All feature.
Function Key Descriptions

To display a record type for an existing Partner Profile ID, or to begin to create a record type for a
new Partner ID, type the Partner ID and associated Qualifier code for Partner/Qualifier mode or
User and Partner for Relationship mode. Use the Tab key to move the insertion point to the
selection field, type the selection number of the desired record type and press Enter. The system
then displays the selected record type entry screen.

Header Information Screen
EDIM026
Purpose
The Header Information screen enables you to display, update, add, or delete information about a
trading partner. This information is required for all other partner profile maintenance procedures
and screens. The Header Information screen is the first record that you will need to create to add a
new trading partner.
Caution: When you delete the header record for a trading partner,
all other records for this trading partner are deleted as
well.
How to Access
Access the Header Information screen in either of the following ways:
•
Type 1 to select Header Information from the Partner Selection Menu and press
Enter.
•
Type 1.2.1 in the Jump Code field of any screen and press Enter (this functions
only if the Partner ID has been established).
At installation, Sterling Gentran:Basic automatically sets up a default Partner ID. The default
Partner ID contains default Group and Transaction records that are required for each trading
partner. Each time you add a new Partner ID and Control record, the system automatically uses the
default Group and Transaction record templates to create default Group and Transaction records
for the new trading partner. You have the capability to modify the values in the generic default
records to create your own default records. After modification, Sterling Gentran will then use the
values specified in your default records.
Partner/Qualifier Mode
The default Partner ID containing the default Group and Transaction records is:
!!! GENTRAN–RESERVED–PARTNER–ID–1
Relationship Mode
Following is the default Partner Profile ID containing the default Group and Transaction records:
!!! GENTRAN–RU1
!!! GENTRAN–RP1
The default Partner ID can be viewed and modified from the Partner Selection Menu like any other
ID (and associated records).
See the topic “Partner Selection Menu” for information on how to display and change the records
for a specified Partner ID.

See the topic “Using Underscore Substitution Characters” in Chapter 7 for more
information about this feature.
Division (protected, except Division 000)
A 3-position alphanumeric field assigned by the user at the time the partner profile is
added. The default value is 000. Although this field is called Division, it is used for
grouping partners under a common access. That is, access to a trading partner is tied to the
Division code on your Security Profile. Before changing the Division code from 000,
consider how users are organized in respect to adding and updating the partner profile. For
most companies, leaving the Division code as 000 and preventing unauthorized changes
through the Security Profile by access and level is sufficient.
Any record that contains a Division code of spaces is considered to be a corporate record
and can be used by more than one division. All users can access these records.

Multiple Envelope Id
A 3-position alphabetic field used to identify the envelope type for this interchange record
within the partner profile. This field allows a single partner profile to have multiple EDI
standards (e.g., X12, EDIFACT, TRADACOMS) defined under it. It eliminates the need
to create multiple partner profiles for a single trading partner in the event that the partner
uses more than one EDI standard. Valid values include these standards: ISA, ICS, BG,
GS, UNA, UNB, SCH, STX, and spaces.
Version
A 12-position alphanumeric field used when more than one control with the same header
option is needed. This is an optional field in the key and should only be used if multiple
controls with the same header option need to be defined. For example, if you currently run
ISAs with version 004010 and need to test 004020 with the trading partner, you would set
up another ISA control with the version being 004020.
Caution: Setting up partners using the version should only be used
when two like envelopes need to be generated with
different information.
Interchange Header Option (required)
A 3-position alphabetic field identifying the type of interchange envelope to be used for
outbound transactions. The envelope allows you to label an outbound transaction.
standards: ISA, ICS, BG, GS, UNA, UNB, SCH, STX. For example, ISA = the segment
ID for the interchange envelope header segment; GS = the segment ID for group envelope
header segment when an interchange envelope is not used.

Group Information Screen
EDIM030
Purpose
The Group Information screen allows you to identify separate types of processing for various
functional groups. For example, you can verify which groups can be sent or received, or specify
control numbers within a functional group.
The system automatically creates a default group record when you add a new Partner Control
record. If you intend to use the default group record, you should update the record to reflect the
appropriate information for your trading partner. However, we strongly recommend creating a
separate group record for each type of functional group that is sent or received.
How to Access
Access the Group Information screen by doing one of the following:
•
Type S to select a Group ID from the Group Directory and press Enter.
•
Type 1.2.3.1 in the Jump Code field of any screen and press Enter.
Screen Examples
The following examples illustrate the Group Information screen for both Partner/Qualifier and

for a group and sequencing by group is desired. To use this feature, both the Transaction
Segment ID and Message Reference Number must be present. Otherwise, the specific
transaction or !!!DFT record is used.
Message Reference Number
A 14-position numeric field used to define the beginning sequence control number for
generating control envelopes. The system assigns control numbers sequentially, adding
one (1) to the number you type in this field. If you type zero (0), the system assigns 1 as

You can modify this record or use it unchanged. Sterling Gentran also gives you the ability to
modify the default record itself to create a custom default record.
See the topic “Control Information Screen 1” for information on how to modify the default record.
How to Access
Access this screen by pressing PF5 on the Transaction Information screen (screen 1). The

Purpose
The User Defined screen provides you with a place to maintain any additional information you
need on file for a specified trading partner. For example, you might enter record or field definitions
using your own structure, as they relate to the specified trading partner. Or, you could use this
screen to define an alternative personal contact and phone number to be used in case the primary
contact for the specified trading partner cannot be reached. The data residing on this record is left
up to you to define. You can have multiple user-defined records for each trading partner, and can
use your own numbering scheme for each access.
$TCR Record ID is reserved by Sterling Gentran:Basic. This user-defined record provides
transmission control information for generating the $TCR record during envelope generation.

Data Separation Screen EDIM050
Data Separation Screen
EDIM050
Purpose
The Data Separation screen enables you to set up data separation parameters for each inbound and
outbound processing run. Data is separated into a maximum of 899 staging areas for direct
transmission, transmission to networks (if outbound), or 99 staging areas for your different
applications (if inbound). Staged data can be subsequently added to with additional Sterling
Gentran:Basic processing steps. You can have multiple output data separation records for each
trading partner.
Inbound data splitting enables you to separate incoming documents for processing by your
application files. Documents can be separated by functional group, transaction set, by test/
production, or by version. Outbound Data Splitting enables you to separate outgoing data for
transmission to your trading partners. Outbound data can only be separated at the partner level.
Typically, data in outbound split files are run through your communications software.
Only applicable if used with the DIRECTED OUTPUT FILES global parameter.
How to Access
Access the Data Separation screen in either of the following ways:
•
Type 7 to select Data Separation from the Partner Selection Menu and press
Enter.
•
Type 1.2.7 in the Jump Code field of any screen and press Enter.

Partner Cross Reference By X-Ref ID Screen
EDIM008
Purpose
EDI data can have two Partner IDs in the envelopes: one for the interchange-level and a second for
the group-level. Often, these Partner IDs are DUNS numbers, network telephone numbers, access
codes and/or communication IDs. Remembering your trading partners’ numbers (literally
hundreds) can be difficult and confusing for those who have to maintain the file. The Cross
Reference by X-Ref ID screen, which is valid only for Partner/, provides you with the capability to
reduce the number of partner records for each trading partner and assign ONE Partner ID that is
meaningful to you.
How to Access
Access the Cross-Reference by X-Ref ID screen in either of two ways:
•
Type 1 to select Partner Cross Reference by X-Ref ID from the Partner Cross
Reference Menu and press Enter.
•
Type 1.3.1 in the Jump Code field of any screen and press Enter.

What are Standards?
To use EDI effectively, trading partners must use industry-agreed-upon guidelines on what data
they transmit and how that data is arranged. Standards are those guidelines by which trading
partners conduct electronic data interchange (EDI).
Standards, though permanent and uniform, continually evolve to meet changing requirements of
the individuals and organizations that use them. However, even with the evolution of EDI
standards to meet changing needs, occasionally trading partners require unique applications of
these standards. Standards agencies issue updates to standards versions during regular intervals;
they might issue small changes, fixes, and additions intermittently. EDI users need to be able to
respond to these intermittent changes and non-standards communications quickly and easily.
The Sterling Gentran:Basic Standards subsystem has been designed to support the various national
and international EDI Standards, such as, ASC X12, UN/EDIFACT, TRADACOMS, ODETTE,
and GENCOD. Because of conflicts with Version/Release among the various Standards
Controlling Agencies, Sterling Gentran Agency is used along with Version ID to uniquely identify
a standard. The agency is a three position code that represents the Controlling Agency or board
that is responsible for issuing and maintaining the standard. Sterling Gentran uses the following
default agency codes:
X
ASC X12
UN
UN/EDIFACT
A
TRADACOMS
T
TDCC
F
Fixed Format
A sample usage would be ASC X12 and UN/EDIFACT both have a version 002 release 001. The
ASC X12 version is implemented as ‘002001’ with an agency of ‘X.’ The UN/EDIFACT version
is implemented as ‘002001’ with an agency of ‘UN.’
Sterling Gentran encompasses provisions to support subsets and localized standards. These
standards are based on other standards, but have been customized for specific industry or region
usage. The version is 12 positions and is comprised of the version number for three characters,
version release for the characters, and version association for six characters. The version
association identifies the subset. For example, UCS version 003010UCS is a subset of ASC X12
003010. The version association is UCS. EDIFICE version 001921ED3 is a subset of UN/
EDIFACT 001921. The version association is ED3. The controlling agency for these two subsets
are different from the original versions. To identify the agency to Sterling Gentran and maintain
uniqueness for these subsets, the Association file contains a cross-reference between the version
association and agency. The Editors in the standard loading process use this file to determine the
agency. If a version association is present, the association file is read to retrieve the agency. If no
version association is present, the default agency values identified above is used. Any time a
version is added that contains a version association, an appropriate Association/Agency record
must be added via the EDIM105 – Standard Association screen.
3-2
IBM Sterling Gentran:Basic for z/OS Release 6.6 User Guide
Before You Begin
The Standards Subsystem
For our example, an association record is set up for 003010UCS as Association = UCS and
Agency = T, for 001921ED3 as Association = ED3 and Agency = UN. This tells the Editor to use
agency ‘T’ for any version that has a version association of ‘UCS,’ ‘UN’ for any version that has a
version association of ‘ED3.’ The agency to be used for an association should reflect the
controlling agency.
See the topics “Inbound Processing Programs” and “Outbound Processing Programs” in the IBM®
Sterling Gentran:Basic® for z/OS® Release 6.6 Technical Reference Guide for more information
about using agency and association for standard loading in the Editors and Mappers.
Several international standards, such as ODETTE, Brokernet and TRADACOMS include multiple
definitions of segments and elements within the same version. Sterling Gentran:Basic has been
structured to support up to 100 different definitions of a Segment ID or Element ID per version. A
segment version is associated with Segment ID and an element version is associated with Element
ID. The majority of segments and elements use a segment/element version of ‘00.’ If additional
definitions are needed, versions ‘01’ – ‘99’ are available. Sterling Gentran:Basic uses the segment/
element version to identify the correct definition when building maps or compliance editing
interchanges.
Sterling Gentran:Basic supports code lists for code validation in the mappers and compliance
Editors. Four files are used to contain these code values. File 1 contains supported code lists for
elements with a maximum length of 5 or less. File 2 contains supported code lists for elements
with a maximum length of 6 – 10. File 3 contains supported code lists for elements with a
maximum length of 11 – 20. File 4 contains supported code lists for elements with a maximum
length of 21 – 40.
Using the Sterling Gentran:Basic Standards subsystem, your EDI coordinator can:
•
Specify EDI standards transactions for use in data translation.
•
Examine transaction standards, in full detail.
•
Perform interim maintenance to standard transactions.
•
Create special transactions for use in unique trading partner communication.
The Standards subsystem contains all the screens you need to view, add, change, or delete data
relating to EDI standards.

Transaction Directory EDIM121/EDIM122
The Standards Subsystem
Transaction Directory
EDIM121/EDIM122
Purpose
The Transaction Directory lists all transactions for a given version. The system displays as many
as ten transactions on the Transaction Directory at one time. To view additional transactions, press
PF8.
You can type a partial Version ID in the Version ID field then press PF6. The system will start
displaying Transactions for the Version ID with the closest matching Version ID. If you leave the
Starting Trans ID field blank, the list begins with the first transaction for the Version ID on the
standards file.
Two screens exist for transaction directories. The EDIM122 screen displays for TRADACOMS
standards Version IDs and the EDIM121 screen displays for non-TRADACOMS standards
Version IDs.
Difference Between the Two Transaction Directories
The Transaction Directory for TRADACOMS versions functions the same as the nonTRADACOMS Transaction Directory. The difference is the order in which the transactions are
listed.
The non-TRADACOMS Transaction Directory lists transactions in the order in which they are
displayed on the standard Transaction file (e.g., in ascending alphanumeric version order).
The TRADACOMS Transaction Directory lists transactions in logical order within the document,
within ascending numeric release order, within ascending alphanumeric order. This means that a
document’s header transaction is followed by its detail transaction(s), followed by its trailer
transaction.
How to Access
Access the appropriate Transaction Directory in any one of the following ways.
Note: You do not need to indicate whether you need EDIM121
or EDIM122. The system automatically displays the
Transaction Directory, based on the version you select.
•
Type 4 to select Transaction Directory on the Standards Maintenance Menu and
press Enter.
•
Type S to select the appropriate Version ID and press PF2 on the Version
Directory.
•
Type a Version ID on the Version screen and press PF2.
•
Type a transaction code and Version ID on the Transaction screen and press PF4.
•
Type S to select a Version ID on the Version/Transaction screen and press PF4.
•

Conditional Code Maintenance Screen
Purpose
The Segment Element Conditional Code Maintenance screen enables you to view and update
conditional codes for a specified segment element.
Data Element Relational Conditions
Relational conditions can occur between elements, based on the presence or absence of those
elements. The information in the CONDITIONAL AREA identifies to Sterling Gentran:Basic the
condition of the element relationship (e.g., how two or more elements are related), and exactly
which elements are involved. If a data element has more than one relational condition, the order of
the conditional codes is very important.You can specify and update the segment element
conditional codes for a specified segment element in the CONDITIONAL AREA. Relational
conditions are:
•
conditions in which one or more data elements within the same segment are
associated with another one or more data elements, or
•
one or more composite elements within the same group element are associated
with another one or more composite elements.
ASC X12 and EDIFACT use different dependency identifiers. However, Sterling Gentran supports
both types of dependency identifiers.
The following table lists the ASC X12 and EDIFACT equivalency dependency identifiers.

Segment Element EDIM141
The Standards Subsystem
Example – Relational Condition
Let’s say a paired relational condition exists between the third and fourth data elements in a
segment. According to the definition (above) for a paired relational condition, both elements must
be defined in order to have a clear meaning.
To set up the paired relational condition, type P in the Code 1 field in the CONDITIONAL AREA
of the screen, 3 in the Code 2 field, and 4 in the Code 3 field. Typing P in the Code 1 field signifies
to Sterling Gentran:Basic that a paired relationship exists; typing the three-digit numbers in the
Code 2 and Code 3 fields indicates the position of the affected data elements (e.g., segment
sequence number).
Sterling Gentran:Basic creates and reports data element conditional codes using the values in the
Code fields. In the above example, conditional code P00304 is generated.
How to Access
The Segment Element Conditional Code Maintenance screen is a continuation of the Segment
Element screen. Access this screen by typing S to select a segment element from the Segment

What is the Databank?
A databank is a repository for storing document/transaction data and any related control
information. Using the Databank subsystem, you can control and monitor the document/
transaction flow through the Sterling Gentran:Basic system.
What is in this Chapter?
This chapter explains the menus and screens of the Sterling Gentran:Basic Databank Maintenance
subsystem. In addition, this chapter describes how to use the databank maintenance functions.
Databank Facility
The Sterling Gentran:Basic Databank Facility provides a powerful set of capabilities for
controlling and tracking the flow of documents between your EDI-enabled applications and your
EDI trading partners.
The Sterling Gentran:Basic Databank Facility takes advantage of the proven functions already in
the Sterling Gentran:Basic family of products while adding functions that provide flexible control
of documents as they pass through the system. The Databank Facility option, if implemented, is an
integral part of your Sterling Gentran:Basic system, as shown in Figure 4.1.
Use of the Databank Facility is optional.

Feature Summary
The Sterling Gentran:Basic databank provides advanced features for addressing your EDI
requirements.
See the “Features and Functions” figure within this topic for an illustration of the features.
The Databank Facility option provides control and tracking of documents through your EDI
system for a wide range of users.
See the “Databank Facility Users” figure within this topic for an illustration.
The following major features are provided with the Databank Facility option.
•
Flexible Configuration
All of the Databank features are optional. Configuring the various components of the
Databank Facility is defined by the user based on their EDI processing requirements.
For example, one implementation may choose to capture all application and EDI data on
the databank. Another implementation may chose to capture just outbound EDI control
and status information.
If acknowledgment reconciliation is to be part of your implementation then the Outbound
EDI Databank Directory must be used at a minimum. Acknowledgment reconciliation is
reconciling acknowledgments received from your trading partners to outbound documents
that have been sent to those trading partners.
•
Full Processing Concurrency
All processing, including Batch/Online, Mapping/Compliance, and Inbound/Outbound,
can run concurrently.
•
Complete Online Control and Tracking
Immediate control and tracking of both application documents and EDI transactions is
available to you with Databank Maintenance.
With Online Databank Maintenance, the following actions can be performed against your
application and EDI data:
Select (Inquiry)
Delete
Data Edit (optionally restricted at installation)
Manually Acknowledge
Manual Network Status Update
Reset for Reprocessing
•
Complete Online Change Audit Trails
All online updates performed against the databank by users are captured and available for
online inquiry.

Comprehensive Security
Security by User ID and Division can be set up as tightly or loosely as required.
•
Data Archive/Restore Capabilities
Application and EDI data can be archived and restored with the Databank Facility. You
can manage their archives selectively based on flexible selection criteria and/or use the
Housekeeping mode to maintain archives based on retention periods.
•
Duplicate Checking
Application document duplicate checking is performed based on the user defined User
Reference. EDI duplicate checking is also provided using the EDI Envelope Reference
IDs. Processing can be controlled using these duplicate indicators.
•
Distribution and Process Control
Application and/or EDI data can be stored in, and selectively extracted from, the Databank
Facility.
This store and extract capability allows processing to be scheduled based on your business
needs. The store capability allows application and communication scheduling to be set up
independently. The selective extract capability allows application documents and EDI
interchanges to be extracted in the groupings that are required by your applications and
communications.
•
Network Tracking
Network Tracking extends EDI tracking to your networks. Network Tracking reconciles
Network Status information to Interchanges that have been sent. The Online Network
Status information posted to Interchanges is Received by Network, Processed by Network
and Picked Up by Trading Partner.
•
Deferred Enveloping
Deferred Enveloping is an optional feature that can be used to store un-enveloped data on
the outbound EDI databank files throughout the day. This data can then be extracted for
enveloping using a number of criteria, including transaction type, data, time, network,
test-production status, partner, user, and batch run number. These selected transactions can
then be enveloped and transmitted to the trading partner.
This feature provides the following benefits:
•
Application and transmission schedule independence
•
Minimize the number of envelopes
•
Document-level control over mapping and editing errors
•
Document-level control over duplicate documents
•
Establish the maximum number of transactions per envelope

Functions
Actions that can be performed in Databank Maintenance are identified on the first row of each
screen in Databank Maintenance. Valid actions that can be performed from screens within
Databank Maintenance include:
Acknowledge:
Used to manually acknowledge EDI data for which you expect an acknowledgment for
outbound EDI databank.
Delete:
Used to logically delete databank information.
Reset:
Used to reset databank data for reprocessing.
Select:

Note: These actions are described further in the sections that
follow each screen.
User Reference Information
User reference information provides a relationship link between application data and EDI data.
When you need to refer to databank records, user reference information will be helpful in locating
a specific record. You have the option of defining your own user reference information. Creating
an application key when performing application databanking or activating the Audit Indicator flag
for a segment element when performing EDI databanking, can result in user reference information.
During a databank run, Sterling Gentran:Basic generates a sequential default number, referred to
as a Reference Tag, for each transaction. Then, for each transaction, Sterling Gentran looks for an
application key or an active Audit Indicator. If found, Sterling Gentran concatenates the data to the
databank and specifies it as user reference information. If not found, Sterling Gentran uses the
Reference Tag as user reference information.
Sterling Gentran displays “protected” user reference information in the User Reference field on the
following screens:
•
Transaction Status (EDIM253)
•
Transaction Status Detail (EDIM258)
•
Document Status (EDIM263)
•
Change Audit Status Detail (EDIM269)
•
Document Display (EDIM264)
This section explains how to apply user reference information and the process in which Sterling
Gentran performs to populate the User Reference fields. The processes vary for inbound and
outbound, as well as for EDI databanking and application databanking.

The Databank Subsystem
How to Use the Maintenance Functions
Inbound EDI Databanking
For inbound EDI databanking, you can instruct Sterling Gentran to use the value specified for a
segment element as user reference information by activating the Audit Indicator flag for the
element.
Scenario:
Let’s say that you are receiving an 810 (invoice) document and you have entered an elementspecific value for each segment existing in the 810. When you activate the Audit Indicator flag for
the element on the Segment Element (EDIM140) screen, Sterling Gentran will pass the element
value from the application standard to the databank key and use the value as user reference
information.
See the topic “Segment Element Screen” in Chapter 3 for more information.
Sterling Gentran creates a sequential, unique reference number, called a Reference Tag, for each
transaction passing through the databank. The format for the Reference Tag is IEnnnnnnnn. When
an Audit Indicator flag is not specified on the Segment Element screen (EDIM140), Sterling
Gentran uses the Reference Tag number as the User Reference information.
Inbound Application Databanking
On the Application Partner Reference (EDIM555) screen, you can create a user reference key by
entering information that is meaningful to your organization in the Application Key field(s). After
a databank run, Sterling Gentran looks for a user reference key. When Sterling Gentran finds the
key, the data represented in the key is applied as user reference information.
See the topic “Application Partner Reference Screen” in Chapter 3 for more information.

Function Key Descriptions
Note: Standard function keys, such as PF1=Help, PF3=Exit,
PF7=Bwd, PF8=Fwd, PF12=Cancel, and
PF15=Logoff, as well as the Enter key, are defined in
Chapter 1.
PF6=Refresh
Caution:
Refreshes the CICS VSAM buffers after a batch update. The VSAM buffers
are refreshed by closing and opening all of the databank files.
All databank files are updated through a batch program. Any
online changes go to a pending file and are later applied through a
batch program. CICS uses buffers, or hold areas, when reading
IBM Sterling Gentran:Basic for z/OS Release 6.6 User Guide
4 - 25
The Databank Subsystem
Databank Maintenance Menu EDIM250
files. While the information you need is still available in those
buffers, CICS does not re-read the file. Whether or not CICS
automatically refreshes the buffers is influenced by these factors:
volume of activity against the file, VSAM share options assigned
to the file, number of buffers, and pool sizes.
In most environments, the Refresh function is not required
because normal CICS processing results in sufficient VSAM
activity to refresh VSAM buffers automatically. However, if
batch updates are run while the online databank is active, the
CICS buffers do not show the latest information until the buffers
are refreshed. Problems navigating between different levels of
EDI envelopes or between directory and data screens may
indicate that your databank buffers need to be refreshed.
Pressing PF6 immediately interrupts all online databank users
and repositions them to the Databank Maintenance Menu. Any
databank online changes prior to the last save need to be
re-applied after the Refresh function has completed. Closing and
re-opening all of the databank files requires a few seconds to
complete.
Because of the impact of the Refresh function on the databank,
only users with security access Level 1 are permitted to use the
Refresh function.

Online Log Display Screen
EDIMOLD
Purpose
The Online Log Display screen displays the Online Log file and allows you to monitor any
exception situations that are encountered by the background CICS tasks in Sterling Gentran:Basic.
The Online Log Display screen displays data the same way as a console log: The most recent
entries are displayed at the bottom of the screen. As new entries are added to the file, the display
scrolls upward.
This screen only displays log messages generated by applications in the Sterling Gentran:Basic
system. To view messages generated by the Sterling Gentran:Control, Sterling Gentran:Realtime,
or Sterling Gentran:Viewpoint systems, use the Online Log Display screen for the corresponding
system.
How to Access
Access the Online Log Display screen in either of these two ways:
•
Type 10 to select Log Display from the Databank Maintenance Menu and press Enter.
•
Type 3.10 in the Jump Code field of any screen and press Enter.
Screen Example

Position Criteria (optional)
A group of five fields that are used to position the display of the Online Log file at a
specific point in the file, based on the criteria in these fields. You can use any combination
of position criteria, or leave the fields blank. When you do not specify position criteria (all
five fields are blank), the last (most recent) record in the file is the last entry on the screen.
When you press Enter, the system searches for log entries matching the position criteria,
beginning with the last record on the Online Log file. When you press either PF7 or PF8,
the system searches for entries, beginning with the last record displayed on the screen.
Task # (optional)
A 7-digit numeric field used to position the display of the Online Log file at the most
recent entry of a specific CICS task number. Valid values are any valid CICS task number.
The system searches for an exact match of the task number in this field.

A 4-position numeric field used to indicate the maximum number of Online Log file
entries to read during a search for position criteria.
When this screen is initially displayed, the Max Count field contains the default value as
defined on the Configuration Maintenance screen (EDIM231) for Record Type 0, the
Online Options. If no records are found that match the selection criteria, the message
EXCEEDED MAX SEARCH COUNT is displayed. You can either press PF7 or PF8 to
continue the search or increase the value in the Max Count field. An extremely large
number in this field may slow down response time.

Acknowledgment Overdue Directory Screen EDIM240
Acknowledgment Overdue Directory Screen
EDIM240
Purpose
The Acknowledgment Overdue Directory Screen is used to view EDI interchanges on the
Acknowledgment Overdue File. There is a file for Sterling Gentran:Basic and a different file for
Sterling Gentran:Realtime. EDID510 (Acknowledgment Reconciliation) and EDIR515 (Realtime
Acknowledgment Reconciliation) create the Acknowledgment Overdue files when processing in
Monitor mode. The Acknowledgment Overdue files contain a copy of the Outbound EDI
databank records that have an acknowledgment status of overdue or waiting.
Note: The creation of the Acknowledgment Overdue files is a
configurable option. See chapter 5 in the Sterling
Gentran:Basic User Guide for Configuration
Maintenance for Record Type 2 and for more information
about the system configuration. See chapter 5 in the
IBM® Sterling Gentran:Basic® for z/OS® Release 6.6
Technical Reference Guide, for EDID510, or chapter 5 of
the IBM® Sterling Gentran:Realtime® for z/OS®
Technical Reference Guide for EDIR515, or for more
Information about the Acknowledgment Overdue file.
The Acknowledgment Overdue Directory screen allows you to start the list at a specified Partner
profile, restrict the list to just overdue or waiting interchanges and restrict the list to just Sterling
Gentran or Sterling Gentran:Realtime information. Leaving these fields blank produces a list of all
IDs for which there are records on the Acknowledgment Overdue files.
How to Access
Access the Interchange Directory in either of these two ways:
•
Type 13 to select Acknowledgment Overdue Directory from the Databank Maintenance
Menu and press Enter.
•
Type 3.13 in the Jump Code field of any screen and press Enter.
Screen Examples
The following examples illustrate the Acknowledgment Overdue Directory for both Partner/
Qualifier and Relationship modes.

Administration Subsystem Jump Codes
A jump code is a 1- to 10-position alphanumeric field located at the upper left corner of each
Sterling Gentran:Basic screen. Use the jump code to move, or jump, directly from one screen to
another, while bypassing menus. All screens that are accessible through a Sterling Gentran:Basic
menu have jump codes associated with them. Screens that are accessible only from detail screens
do not have jump codes associated with them.
See Chapter 1, “Getting Started,” for further information on using jump codes.
You can jump between screens without having to navigate using the Sterling Gentran:Basic
menus. Use the following procedure to jump between screens:
Step 1:
Press Home.
The cursor moves to the Jump Code field at the top of the screen to the right of the
screen number.
Step 2:
Type the jump code and press Enter.
Note: If the cursor moves to the Jump Code field, and then you
decide not to enter a jump code after all, press Tab to
return to the next entry field on the screen.

Field Descriptions
Note: Fields that are display-only contain the statement
(protected) next to the field name in the documentation.
Jump Code
A 10-position alphabetic or numeric field containing the jump code for this screen. A
screen’s jump code is displayed in the Jump Code field for that screen.
To jump to another screen, press Home, type the jump code of the screen to which you
want to jump and press Enter.
See Chapter 1, “Getting Started,” for further information on using jump codes.
User ID
An 8-position alphanumeric field used to define the user identification. The User ID is the
key that enables Sterling Gentran to recognize the user and identify which subsystems and
authority levels the user is permitted. The User ID is sometimes called the Logon ID.
To provide additional security, the User ID is encrypted when it is saved on the Security
file.
Password
An 8-position alphanumeric field used to define a user's password. Passwords require a
minimum of four and maximum of eight characters in length. The required length is an
installation option defined on the configuration file. The user can change their password
on the Sterling Gentran:Basic logon screen. Sterling Gentran will issue a confirmation
message after adding or updating a password.
To provide additional security, a password is encrypted after saving it on the Security file
and will not display on the screen when typed. For users with security Level 1, you control
the password display by setting the Security Password Suppress flag on System
Configuration Record 0 On-Line options.
See the topic “Configuration Maintenance Screen Part 2 On-Line Options- Record Type
0,” later in this chapter for more information.
Division
A 3-position alphanumeric field used to define a user-specific division code. The division
is used in conjunction with the partner profile. When a division is specified for a User ID,
that user may only access information for records having the same division code. The
System Administrator or EDI Coordinator should maintain a division of 000 to access all
trading partner records.
Any record that contains a division code of spaces is considered to be a corporate record,
and can be used by more than one division. All users can access these records.
The following matrix illustrates when you can and cannot access a particular object, based
on your division in your User ID. (An object refers to a trading partner, maps, or databank
records.) This matrix shows that if your division is defined as 000, then you can access any
object. If the object contains blanks, then any user can access that object. The 010 or 020

Last Update Date (protected)
Displays the last date that security file maintenance was performed for the specified User
ID. This field displays the date that the User ID was first added, or the date the User ID
was last updated. This date does not reflect the date for password changes (by the user via
the Sterling Gentran:Basic logon screen). Date format is MM/DD/YY.
User (protected)
Displays up to three letters or initials of the user who added, or last updated the security
information for the User ID currently displayed.

Access (Y/N)
A 1-position alphabetic field used to designate user access rights to the various Sterling
Gentran:Basic subsystems (listed to the right of the Authority Level field). The Access
field is used in conjunction with the Authority Level field to build Sterling Gentran:Basic
subsystem security for each User ID. Access to the Databank feature is controlled through
5 - 18
IBM Sterling Gentran:Basic for z/OS Release 6.6 User Guide
User ID Maintenance Screen EDIM201
The Administration Subsystem
the use of the self-contained security system. Gentran allows you to define users with their
own privileges. The following general security rules apply for data access. These rules are
further restricted by the Databank Security Authority Levels described below.
•
If a user has access to an EDI Transaction or Application Document level
directory record, the corresponding data can be viewed (subject to the authority
levels described below).
•
At the EDI Interchange and Group level, a user is allowed to view the
corresponding EDI data if: all documents within the Interchange or Functional
Group have the same division (this must match the User IDs security division or
the directory record would not be displayed), or the User ID has a system
administrator security division (000). Any record that contains a division code of
spaces is considered to be a corporate record, and can be used by more than one
division. All users can access these records.
See the “Field Descriptions” section in this topic for more information on
Division access.
This may restrict users in a divisional structure or where document/transaction division is
based on document type. Users in this type of environment may be required to access the
EDI related information by switching from the Application Document Status to the EDI
Document Status. Following are valid values for all subsystems:
Y
=
N
=
Caution:
Yes, grant the user access to this Sterling Gentran:Basic
subsystem. When you specify the Y value in this field, the field is
used in conjunction with the Authority Level field to build
Sterling Gentran:Basic subsystem security for each User ID.
No, do not grant the user access to this Sterling Gentran:Basic
subsystem. By entering the value N is this field, you deny the user
the capability to access the subsystem. The default value is N.
When specifying the N value, the default value for the Authority
Level field is 3, and the subsystem is not displayed as an option
on the Sterling Gentran Main Menu. This is commonly used
when restricting access to the security subsystem.
Typically, access to the Security Maintenance
subsystem is reserved for use by a System
Administrator/EDI coordinator. Access to this
subsystem at authority Level 1 enables you to see
the passwords assigned to each user. Other users
can view only their own password.
Authority Level
A 1-position numeric field used to set inquiry and update rights to the various Sterling
Gentran:Basic subsystems (listed immediately to the right of this field) that the specified
user might access. The Authority Level field is used in conjunction with the Access field
to build Sterling Gentran:Basic subsystem security for each User ID. To support the
required security for the Databank subsystem, the security access level allowed for the
databank is from 1 – 6. These levels of security identify the following areas as requiring
security: Directory Record Viewing, Directory Record Update Access, Data Viewing, and
Data Editing.
IBM Sterling Gentran:Basic for z/OS Release 6.6 User Guide

1
Update rights granted, including the right to change the Update
Allowed field for any of the Sterling Gentran:Basic subsystems.
The Update Allowed field designates whether or not a user
having an authority Level 2 is locked from changing applications
such as Standards versions, transaction maps, the Application ID,
tables, and the partner profile. This is an unrestricted security
level.
Note: If you have authority Level 1, you can add and update
users. Sterling Gentran will display all passwords to you
on the User ID Maintenance screen.
Caution:
=
To protect the integrity of applications, such as Standards
versions, transaction maps, the Application Data ID, tables,
and the partner profile, authority Level 1 can be reserved for
use by only the system administrator. You can also set the
Update Allowed flag to N (do not allow changes to these
locked applications) to prohibit system modifications after
establishing a file or parameter setup. Specifying either Y or
N in the Update Allowed flag provides the applicable
authority to users maintaining authority Level 2.
2
=
Limited update rights granted, may make additions throughout
Sterling Gentran:Basic, and changes and deletions to those
applications in Sterling Gentran:Basic subsystems having an
Update Allowed flag set to Y. If you have authority Level 2, you
can both add and update users.
Note: Sterling Gentran will display only your password on the
User ID Maintenance screen.
3
=
Display-only rights granted; no file maintenance is permitted.
The default value is 3. If you have authority Level 3, you cannot
add or update users. Your own password will display on the User
ID Maintenance screen, but other users’ passwords will not
display.
If the Access field has the Y value, you MUST type a value in this field. If the Access field
has the N value, this field value defaults to 3 (although it has no meaning because access
to that subsystem is completely restricted).
Note: Authority Level 3 for Sterling Gentran:Realtime prevents
access to any of the Realtime System Maintenance
screens.

User ID for Background Tasks
An 8-position alphabetic field used to enter a User ID for security control of background
tasks in Sterling Gentran:Basic. The background task, EDIP (used for submitting batch
reports), is not affiliated with a terminal and, therefore, does not have a signon ID. This
field allows you to specify a security ID to use with this transactions. Valid values are any
valid User ID in your system.
For more information about how to use a User ID for Background Tasks, see “Configuring
JCL Submission and User Security” in Chapter 7, “System Features: Tips and
Techniques,” in this guide.
Note: The ID must have access to the Sterling Gentran files and
any special resources that may be needed for the online
batch initiator process.
Batch Submit Exit
An 8-position alphabetic field that is used to enter a user-written batch submit exit. The
online batch initiator (EDIBOBI) program will use this exit instead of writing to the Batch
destination transient data queue (EDII) when submitting batch jobs from the Sterling
Gentran:Basic system. Use this exit when you need to submit jobs through a Scheduler
system rather than through a CICS controlled internal reader.
For more information about how to use a Batch Submit Exit, see “Configuring JCL
Submission and User Security” in Chapter 7, “System Features: Tips and Techniques,” in
this guide.

use the background task to perform the updates.
When you disable the switch, the actual writes are performed in the program which creates
the report. Valid values are:
