Abstract

A system is provided for exchanging data using Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). A transmitting entity obtains an EDI file from a document that is to be transmitted to a destination server and adds routing information to the EDI file based on a first routing configuration, wherein the routing information is to be used by the receiving entity for routing the EDI file to the destination server. The receiving entity receives the EDI file from the transmitting entity and extracts the routing information from the EDI file. The receiving entity determines the destination server from a second routing configuration based on the extracted routing information and forwards the EDI file to the destination server.

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

a transmitting entity comprising:
a first storage device that stores a first routing configuration for adding routing information to an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) file to be transmitted according to an EDI standard using an EDI transmission protocol;
and
a routing enricher implemented by a first processor operatively coupled to the first storage device, the first processor configured to:
obtain the EDI file from a document that is to be transmitted to a destination server;
add the routing information to the EDI file based on the first routing configuration, wherein the routing information is to be used for routing the EDI file to the destination server;
and
transmit the EDI file using the EDI transmission protocol;
and
a receiving entity comprising:
a second storage device that stores a second routing configuration for determining the destination server for routing the EDI file based on the routing information in the EDI file;
and
a routing gateway implemented by a second processor operatively coupled to the second storage device, the second processor configured to:
receive the EDI file from the transmitting entity;
extract the routing information from the EDI file;
determine the destination server from the second routing configuration based on the routing information;
and
forward the EDI file to the destination server.
