handling character set "UNOC" in B2Bi when no UNA segment defined
Problem
-- is it possible to handle EDIFACT message when
-> UNOC is used as character set
and
-> UNA segment is not present
Resolution
* EDIFACT standards recommends to have the ISA segment defined when using UNOC
* if the EDIFAC message is processed by an Inbound EDIFACt agreement, it is failing in Integrator :
"Invalid service character(s)"
* however, B2Bi provides a way to handle such kind of messages :
- first, the EDIFACT message has to go through a Metadata Profile where the component "B2Bi Set Inbound EDI Separators" will be executed
- then the message can be processed using the usual EDIFACT Inbound agreements
