4.3. Message definitions

Message definitions describe in Babelway the format (CSV, XML, EDIFACT, ...) and the structure (all the fields) of an exchanged file.

 

Each channel contains 2 message definitions:

  • Message in is used to describe the files received by Babelway from the source external system.
  • Message out is used to describe the files that Babelway must send to the target external system.

 

You can edit Message definitions directly from the channels overview, or via the dedicated section (Manage & Build > Components > Message definitions).
