Remarks

This method allows non-EDI Parcels to be directly uploaded to ECGrid through the ECGridOS interface. An X12 EDI envelope will be wrapped around the data using ECGridIDFrom and ECGridIDTo  in order to route it over ECGrid. ParcelDownload() will automatically strip the envelope and download the original Content and provide the original FileName.

The X12 ISA segment will have the following values assigned to assist in quickly identifying an Interchange which has been uploaded with ParcelUploadEx():

There is another pseudo FN segment:

  • FN01: <FileName>

    To send EDI data, use ParcelUpload().

    FileName must be a valid Windows filename, invalid FileNames will generate SOAP Exception.

    Bytes must equal the Content length, or a SOAP Exception will be raised.

    NOTE: While some Networks will be able to accept EDI-wrapped data, most will not. Be sure to check with your Trading Partner to make sure their system can handle this type of data.
