Mapping Scripts

Definition: Instructions to get data from incoming edi-message and put it in the outgoing edi-message

• Mapping scripts are python programs.

• Mapping script are in: usersys/mappings/editype/mapping-script-name.py.

• Within a mapping script function main() is called.

• Some important things to be noted about mapping scripts:

  • All data in the incoming/outgoing messages are strings.
  • Errors in a mapping script are caught by Bots and displayed in bots-monitor.
  • You can Raise an exception in your mapping script if you encounter an error situation.

  • (Bots>=3.0) when an error situation is met in script: you can send specific error-email to responsible people.
