EDIFACTORY

Hi all,

the D12A is now available. This standard contains 194 messages, 288 qualifiers and 156 segments. Have fun with them :-)

What I said in the registration email and in the previous article about spamming was obviously not clear to everyone.

At least not for some trouble maker out there in the internet. On the cost of all who would like to use the platform for information sharing and placing comments to articles, they use it for senseless spam - with a consequence:

I had to close the free registration.

Hi, some of you may have seen it - I removed some "comments". I want to use this post to remember you that I always remove comments which content is obviously advertisings or simply a link to other sites. This site is for talking about EDI/EDIFACT.
It is told to everyone who wants to place such advertising comments here that the work is wasted and for sure unwanted. I'll remove the comments.
Ok?

oh my god, I cannot believe that another year has been gone. When a new EDIFACT standard comes out, it's just about a year after the previous release. I feel that it was just a few weeks ago.
Anyway, have a look to the D11A. The ranking of the messages did not change the order, but of course the hitcounts increased:

1. D96A, 30413
2. D97A, 8450
3. D93A, 7395

The current D10A is now online. By the way, did you know that the D96A is by far the most clicked standard? Since January, 7 2010, the message list page of D96A has been selected more than 12500 times, followed by D97A with 3200 times and D93A with 2800 times. Did you expect this?

As you may have noticed, there is a search option on the left side. While the site is completely indexed, there may be faults finding things you may not expect.
Much of the content here on the site is generated automatically which means that there are no static HTML pages or articles. The content is created on demand out of a database.
The search function however does index only static articles (like this one), not the database content.

This is where the EDIFACTORY came from:

Back, somewhere in 1999 (I think it was there), I was faced with EDIFACT at the company I work for. I didn't understand anything of what the people were talking about. They talked about qualifier, segments, fields, messages and that all based on a (optical) cryptic syntax.

Everything is new now.

The edifactory site in new clothes. A new design, a new CMS and a new provider. Well, the first two things were caused by the third one. I wasn't very happy with previous provider since the end of the last year so I decided to move to another ISP.

It may last a while until all pages of the old edifactory site are moved here. So there may still some pages missing. Currently I know about several standards. They are incomplete currently. Just give me some time and the other standards will follow.
