Exchange Data Repository
Use Exchange Data Repository Maint (35.9.3) to modify or add data in the exchange file portion of the data repository. For example, you can use this program to add a value to a missing mandatory field that is preventing the transformation process from completing.
The exchange file repository includes two types of data:
• Inbound exchange files that have been loaded from the EC subsystem SNF files but have not been transformed for transfer into your system
• Outbound exchange files consisting of transformed business document data that has not been unloaded to the EC subsystem
Note: The repository stores all exchange files that pass through it during processing, whether or not they complete all the subsequent steps. These exchange files remain in the repository until they are archived and deleted. See
Archiving and Deleting EDI eCommerce Data.
This program includes three frames. When you select an exchange file to maintain in the first frame, the system displays trading partner data and reference information about the exchange file. Use the second and third frames to select the exchange file record and field that contains the data you want to maintain.
Note: A .NET UI menu collection lets you select a repository record through a browse. You can view or update associated records in both repositories, as well as reprocess them after correcting problems, through a single UI. Its repository maintenance functionality is similar to this program. See
Maintain eCommerce Repository Data Collection.

Ref ID
Enter the reference number of the repository record you want to maintain. Use the arrow keys to scroll through the list of available record IDs.
When you choose Go, the system displays two additional frames.
Because of the possible many-to-one or one-to-many relationships between exchange files and application files, the sequence numbers assigned to the files do not stay the same throughout processing. eCommerce provides a tool for determining cross-references between numbers.
