This document discusses IBM and its business-to-business (B2B) integration tool called Sterling Integrator. Sterling Integrator is a transaction engine that supports high-volume electronic message exchange and integration between internal systems and external business partners. It allows modeling and managing of business processes through a web-based interface. The document also provides an overview of electronic data interchange (EDI) standards, including the X12 standard format which defines three envelope levels for EDI documents: interchange, functional group, and transaction. Sterling Integrator can be used to map between different data formats and automate business processes using EDI.

oTop level of Envelope is called as “ Interchange Envelope ”.
oInterchange Envelope contains information about the Sender, Receiver,
EDI standard, sequence number etc.
oThis is like a postal envelope, as Postal Envelope have sender address
and receiver address, similarly in Interchange Envelope has Sender ID and

oTo route the document from source to destination address you need
Interchange Envelope.

Group Envelope”.
 This Envelope is similar to Interchange Envelope.
 It has the functional statements of the document.
