Code Conversion
Code Conversion 4-5
The use of keys can also be combined with direction-specific code conversion rules
to provide maximum flexibility and configuration of your unique code conversion
requirements. See Code Conversion Based on Direction section for additional
information on direction-specific code conversion.
Code Conversion Processing
The Oracle e-Commerce Gateway Code Conversion Module is designed to process
very basic or very complex code conversion rules.
Key setup data elements used in code conversion processing are:
■
Code Conversion Category.
■
Direction.
■
Key (1-5).
■
Internal Value.
■
External Value (1-5).
For inbound code conversion, values for each of these data elements (except
Internal Value) are used to derive Internal Value.
For outbound code conversion, values for each of these data elements (except
External Value 1-5) are used to derive External Value (1-5).
Inbound Code Conversion Processing
During inbound transaction processing, inbound files are processed based on the
interface file definition in Oracle e-Commerce Gateway. The interface file
definition, as defined in the Interface File Definition form, will determine file layout
and structure. It will also identify External Values (1-5) used for inbound code
conversion processing.
Code conversion category data entered in the Assign Code Conversion Category
form determine which fields require inbound code conversion processing. Key
values are also derived from data in this form.
Inbound code conversion processing uses:
■
Code Conversion Category based on Assign Code Conversion Category
definitions.
■
Direction based on transaction type.
■
Key (1-5) values from the interface file.
