X12 and EDIFACT Connectors Release Notes - Mule 3

Downgraded the Scala compiler version to 2.11.7 for compatibility with the Scala version used by DataWeave.(SE-17730)

Corrected the X12 paired (P) AllOrNone rule for Composite elements match (SE-9604)

Exception management improvements that provide more information for messages (CONN-4742)

Corrected the version key used in the map output by the parser when working with X12 variant versions (such as HIPAA), which caused IllegalArgumentException on the schema lookup for the writer. (SE-11598)

Fixed the infinite loop when missing a UNT segment. (SE-10442)

Added a specific error message when missing a UNT segment. (SE-10442)

Added support for integer value types for implied decimal format. (SE-11494)

Corrected escape character handling on read. (SE-9795)

Eliminated NPE when space value is set for a delimiter character. (SE-11312)

Changed the shaded package name for debugger compatibility. (SE-10796)

Added support for integer value types for implied decimal format. (SE-11494)

Multiple HIPAA transaction sets in a group are now correctly handled. (SE-9043)

Identified the ISA segment when it’s the cause of a write error. (SE-10796)

Changed the shaded package name for debugger compatibility. (SE-10796)

Added the transaction set information to the error message for "schema not found". (SE-7935)

X12 corrected the schema version from 005010X214B3 to 005010X214.

X12 added HIPAA 005010X223A2 support.

X12 corrected an error in formatting values for the ISA10 and GS05 time fields.

X12 corrected a serialization-related error causing an exception scala.MatchError: None.

EDIFACT changed parser to interpret UNOY syntax identifier as UTF-8 encoding by default, for consistency with writer code.

X12 HIPAA support, including Type 1 and 2 validation.

X12 error reporting - added information for error type (interchange, group, transaction, segment, or element) and interchange/group/transaction set identifiers; all error reports now included in the root level map.

X12 now includes all versions from 003010 to 005050, and 006020.

X12 added validateBeforeWrite configuration parameter to check for errors in data before writing to the output stream, instead of checking while the data is being written; if one or more fatal errors are found an exception is thrown from the write operation without any data being written.

X12 added ackAllSets configuration parameter to generate a separate AK2/AK5 (997) or AK2/IK5 (999) acknowledgment for every transaction set; by default, only transaction sets with errors are specified in the acknowledgment.

EDIFACT added receiveEncodingOverride configuration parameter to allow the user to specify the receive character encoding

EDIFACT added support for UNOW syntax identifier in parser, interpreting this as UTF-8 encoding.

Supports '\n' as a segmentTerminator.

Added support for inline components in ESL schema definitions.

Added support for writing DataWeave-compatible types.

Improved overlay handling, allowing segments to specify only modified components and change component type

Support writing repeating composite.

Add interchange information (with sender and receiver reversed) to X12 TA1 interchange acknowledgments generated by parsing.

Support sending X12 messages with only TA1 interchange acknowledgments, no transaction data.

Corrected some off-by-one errors in reporting data errors for both X12 and EDIFACT, and some segment off-by-one errors for EDIFACT.

Changed loop/group keys in data, eliminating position numbers previously used at start of key.

Corrected loop position tracking and reporting in X12 ACK3/IK3, ACK4/IK4 segments (997/999 functional acknowledgments).

Correct check for data present when reading a composite to work correctly when first value of composite is empty.

Abort parsing of EDIFACT message if the initial UNA/UNB cannot be read (since there’s no way to know the delimiters being used for message).

Add more details to error logging.

Changed identifiers for X12 loops with numeric values as names, using the number as part of the identifier (rather than the identifier of the first segment in the loop).

Correct handling of X12 repeating group inside LS/LE wrapper.

Fix issue causing X12 parser IllegalStateException "Illegal structure at position…​".

Fixed dead lock when acquiring lock to increment control number

Writing now correctly fails when writing invalid characters and repeating values outside defined limits

New icons for the connector

Support for reading/writing multiple versions of the same transaction type within a single message

Additional EDIFACT message types d03A and d95B

Improved structure usability with DataWeave and MEL by including "Loop" in the key name for loops and using underscores instead of spaces. You will need to update your integrations appropriately for this (see below).

Improved validation logic on writing.

Many bug fixes

The "Transactions" list has been changed to "TransactionSets" and now has an additional level for the version of the transactions.

All keys no longer have spaces - instead they have underscores

Any segment that is a loop
