Use the Business Connect XML mapping utility to define how the system translates data transmitted using XML from your trading partners' format to a format that Eclipse can understand. Also use the mapping utility to define how the system translates data stored in Eclipse to a format that your trading partners' systems can understand.
For example, you receive orders from a trading partner in XML. You can map data in a customer order submit request from a trading partner to corresponding data elements in Eclipse that make up an Eclipse sales order. The trading partner sends data in an XML element called PurchaseOrder/CustomerIdentifiers/CustomerNum. To process the information, map that element to the OrderSubmit/Order/ShipTo data element in Eclipse.
To create an order acknowledgement response to the order request, map the Eclipse data you send to an XML element the trading partner can understand.
