Chapter 5: ECRTP

ECRTP is both a data transformation engine that analyzes, transforms, and routes messages, and a compliance-verification engine that checks EDI data against the corresponding EDI standard. ECRTP includes map files, a trading partner database, and log files.

Map files contain the business rules and logic that define the relationships between incoming and outgoing data.
The trading partner database contains information that routes messages between trading partners and that selects the specific map that should be run.
Log files maintain an audit trail of the transaction processing.

Changes in ECRTP 4.2 include information about previously undocumented features, RunMap options, and command line switches.
