The PIP connector supports generating RosettaNet Partner Interface Processes (PIP) service headers for outbound messages and processing service headers on inbound PIP messages. This connector should be used with the RosettaNet connector (RNIF).

Key Capabilities

  • RosettaNet PIP service header generation and validation for B2B messaging
  • Integration with RNIF for complete messaging workflows with configurable PIP codes, versions, and business activities
  • DTD-based schema validation for strict PIP specification compliance

Overview

When receiving a PIP message over RNIF, a PIP connector validates the PIP service headers against the settings configured for the connector. These settings include the PIP Code, PIP Version, and so on. After validation, the PIP message payload is processed into the Transactions tab for this connector, and passed along to the next connector in the flow. When generating PIP messages, a PIP connector adds service headers from the settings configured for the connector. Once these service headers are applied, the resulting file in the Transactions tab can be passed to a RosettaNet connector for transport to the trading partner. PIP connectors do not generate acknowledgments. Acknowledgments are handled by the RosettaNet connector.
