When using the Document Extraction Service, is it still possible to use the For Each Document Service?

Cause

Business Process uses the Document Extraction Service, but processing requirements dictate that EDI Encoder / EDI Envelope are called later (or not at all)

Answer

The Document Extraction Service is much more robust in current Sterling B2B Integrator releases than in previous releases. Early versions of the Document Extraction Service lacked the capability to call EDI Encoder and EDI Envelope within the service, thus a For Each Document Service was needed to loop through the extracted documents. The current Document Extraction Service largely eliminates the need to call the For Each Document Service. Nevertheless, there may be times when processing requirements dictate that EDI Encoder and EDI Envelope not be called during the Document Extraction Step. Herewith is an example illustrating the use of Document Extraction with the For Each Document Service. Note that some customization will likely be required.
