I am new to EDI. I got some information about EDI from Here. I heard that Talend supports reading of EDI X12 files using some technique called Smooks. I downloaded Talend Open Studio for Data Integration v5.3.1. But I don't know how to Use it for reading EDI file

I got a EDI text from one site

I want to save this as a EDI file. What should be its extension? And is there any link for steps or demo for using Talend to read this file and parse it to some readable file like CSV or XML?

Thanks

  • Did you ever find a viable solution for this issue? I am in the process of parsing and creating EDI X12 documents with Talend and am at a loss. Any information would be greatly appreciated. – Austin S. Apr 28 '14 at 14:02
  • With Talend You cannot do. But you have to look at the latest version of TOS, may be they support it. Check for edireader. It's opensource, It will create XML file. May be useful for you. Only few are open source as I know, which couldn't help me. –  Apr 29 '14 at 04:28

Not many people seems to remark this, but Talend Open Studio for Data come with a default project called Demo project (see picture below).

Talend demo project

This project contains tons of examples of how to use Talend. You should find everything there. Every job is very well documented, example :

Documented job example

Official online documentation can be found here : http://www.talendforge.org/tutorials/menu.php (free registration may be required at some point)

  • Thanks for the reply. But can you please tell me where can I find the demo for reading EDI file? Because I could not find any demo inside that **TALENDDEMOSJAVA ** –  Jul 10 '13 at 08:53
  • Your use case seems a little bit specific. You can however, adapt an existing demo job to your needs. Maybe you could edit your question, and state what have you tried so far. – Jean-Michel Garcia Jul 10 '13 at 09:21
