Steps to Configure Oracle B2B Specification \ Document Definition

In this post, I want to explain steps to create Oracle B2B Specification.
Oracle B2B Specification contains two documents. They are ".ecs" and ".xsd" files.
Follow below steps to configure EDI X12 4010 850 (ORDERS) document definition.

Visit Oracle B2B - Part3 to understand how to install Oracle Document Editor.

1. Download and Install Oracle Document Editor.
2. start document editor.
Double click on below file.
"<installation folder>\Oracle\Oracle Document Editor\SpecBuilder.exe"
3. In Document editor --> Start Page --> Click on New Guideline

4. In pop up, we have to select proper B2B specification. As per our requirement, we have to select EDI specification --> X12 --> V4010 --> 850 Document Specification --> Click Finish button.

5. We have to do required changes in EDI document segments. 

6. Save the B2B Definitions Documents (.ecs is the extension)

7. Now we need to generate .xsd file with the help of ".ecs" file.

open .ecs file --> File Menu --> Export (NOTE: make sure .ecs file open in Document Editor) 

Now we can see .ecs and .xsd files.

We can use these two documents in B2B console to define trading partners and agreements and in Oracle SOA projects to process B2B XML format documents. Will discuss, about this in upcoming posts.
