--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New Features:

The Redix Mapper Version 4.7.0 with the database module now supports mapping a database in both directions, i.e., database to XML, EDI, or CSV, etc., and vice versa.  The database can be any ODBC compliant database system.

The Redix AnyToAny Engine is enhanced to support more functions, including sendmail(), atocur(), etc.

The Redix HIPAA package provides more pre-defined maps, including the NSF 2.0/3.01 <->  HIPAA 837, UB92 5.0/6.0 <-> HIPPA 837, and HCFA ERA <-> HIPAA 835.  The proprietary UB92 format, such as the state specific Medicare/Medicaid UB92, can also now be mapped to a HIPAA 837 transaction set in a pre-defined map.

The Redix HIPAA package with database module provides a pre-defined map, which converts the HIPAA 837 transaction set to a Microsoft SQL Server database; then in a separate pre-defined map, the data is extracted from the SQL Server and re-formulated into a HIPAA 837 message.

The Redix HIPAA package provides balance check information.  With one key-stroke or an API function call, a HIPAA 837 or 835 transaction sets can be balanced.  A balance report is automatically generated.  The report can also be customized.

to top

Redix Format Converter Version 4.6.0 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New Features:

Supports W3C XML Schema.  In addsition to the DTD, an XML Schema (xsd) file can be imported to the Redix Mapper.  Once the XML is message is imported, the message is ready to be mapped.

In the previous version, the X12 syntax rules and EDI code definitions are defined in the OFD (Output File Descriptor).  In this new release, they are defined in the IFD (Input File Descriptor) instead.  The Redix XML GUI Mapper's GUI is deigned to help users construct the X12 syntax rules and EDI code definitions.  When the user extracts the EDI message from the EDI standard, the X12 syntax rules and EDI code definitions are automatically generated. To support the X12 syntax rules, a new section area "#SEGCOND" is created in the IFD.

Supports RosettaNet version 2.0.

Updates the HIPAA transaction sets, including the syntax rules and code definitions.

Automatically define the appropriate separators when a new map is created.

In the previous version, when an XML message was mapped, a user would have to create a dummy trailer node to hold the OFD statements, such as "endloop" or "endsegment".  In the new release, the user does not have to do this any more since the Redix Mapper will automatically generate the "endloop" or "endsegment" statements without using a dummy trailer.

Supports database mapping.  The new release provides a GUI to allow a user to map any message, including EDI, XML, CSV, flat file, to an ODBC database.

Redix Format Converter Version 4.4.0 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New Features:

With this new version, users can now identify a variety of segment and element details through the use of the Mapper Area's Input and Output Message Definition's icons. 

-     An input message definition's icon can now be differentiated between segments that contain or do not contain loops.

-     An output message definition's icon can also now be differentiated between segments that contain or do not contain defined elements, loops, segment loops, conditional statements, before events, and after events.  In addsition, different icons are now used to distinguish between different types of element definitions, as well as whether or not an element contains loops, segment loops, conditional statements, before events, and/or after events.

The Redix Mapper Area has also been expanded to allow a user to open a dialog box, which will allow the user to display and/or print a listing of addsitional information, e.g., element conditions, before/after events, etc., associated with a Map Definition's elements.

 Redix Format Converter Version 4.3.0 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New Features:

The long-awaited Integration Guide is finally available. 

-     This guide details the API, COM, ActiveX, and Redix Automation Processor (RAP).

-     It also provides examples to interface the Redix AnyToAny engine, AnyToXML engine, user exits functions, database module, and userdata() functions with the user's existing application. These examples are in various programming languages, including VC++, VB, and JAVA (TM).

It is now possible to pass the EDI Interchange Information with an automatically generated XML to EDI Map Definition, using the userdata() function in an OFD file.

-     The ability to pass data during translation by using the userdata() function has existed for quite some time, but now this feature has been taken one step further. Users now have the option to use a hybrid OFD form during the exportation of an XML to EDI Map Definition in the Export to DTD Dialog Box.

-     In addsition, precedence has been given to existing data from the incoming XML input file. The following rules apply to the ISA and GS segment fields:

- If input data is passed to the map, use this data
- Otherwise, if there is no data being passed, use the userdata() function
- If there is no input data nor userdata() function being passed, use a default value

-     For more details about this new feature and its specifications, please refer to the "Extracting Using userdata() from XML to EDI" section of the "N2K (Need To Know)" chapter from the GUI Mapper Online Help Manual.

The integer error return code may now be referenced to display the cause of error.

-     Upon completion of a translation process, whether it was successful or not, an integer is always returned, corresponding to the success of the translation. The integer zero represents a successful translation, while a negative integer is returned to reference a failed translation. Now, it is possible for the user to send the returned error code to an API or command-line function to return the error message. For example:

- A translation that returns the integer -104, may be passed through an API such as redix_get_err_msg(-104) to return the error message:
    Error in Opening the IFD.
- or, a translation that returns a -101 may be passed through the command-line command errcode -101 to return the message:
    Error in Opening the Input File.

-     The API function redix_get_err_msg (integer) has now been addsed to the file rfcerr.lib (for Windows) and libredixerr.a (for UNIX) located in the /lib directory of the Redix folder.

-     The command-line executable errcode integer has now been addsed to the Redix folder.

-     For more information concerning the error return code processes, please refer to the "N2K (Need To Know)" chapter under the subject "Error Code Messages" of the GUI Mapper Online Help Manual.

Two new functions, redix_mem_process and redix_app_process, have been addsed to allow users to interact with the Redix Automation Processor using input/output files or data streams.

-     The function redix_mem_process allows the user to use data streams as the input and output data. The following is a description of the parameters, which may be used:

redix_mem_process( input_string ,     A variable of type String Data containing the input information.
output_string ,     A variable of type String Data to contain the output information.
error_string ,     A variable of type String Data to contain any error information, if one exists.
ack_string ,     A variable of type String Data to contain any acknowledgement information, if one is to be created.
configuration_file ,     A variable of type String Data containing the name of the configuration file of the RAP process.
log_file ,     A variable of type String Data containing the name of the log file, of the RAP process, to be appended.
userdata , A variable of type String Data containing the userdata to the AnyToAny engine.
);

-     The function redix_app_process allows a user to use data files as the input and output data. Below is a description of the parameters, which may be used:

redix_app_process( input_file ,     A variable of type String Data containing the name of the input file of the RAP process.
output_file ,     A variable of type String Data containing the name of the output file, to be created during the RAP process.
error_file ,     A variable of type String Data containing the name of the error file, to be created (if any), during the RAP process.
ack_file ,     A variable of type String Data containing the name of the acknowledgement file, to be created (if any), during the RAP process.
configuration_file ,     A variable of type String Data containing the name of the configuration file of the RAP process.
log_file ,     A variable of type String Data containing the name of the log file, of the RAP process, to be appended.
userdata , A variable of type String Data containing the userdata to the AnyToAny engine.
);

-     The difference between the functions redix_app_process and the redix_mem_process is that the redix_mem_process function writes the output to a string, while the redix_app_process writes the output to a file.

-     When these functions are used, the directories and filenames defined in the configuration file are NOT used; instead, the directories and filenames that are specified by the parameters. In addsition, the need to include the parameter log_file is optional. If no value is passed for the log_file parameter, the name XMLProcess.log will be used by default.

-     Addsitional information concerning the new RAP functions may be found in the Redix Automation Processor Manual and Integration Guide.

Since no one template package can meet the needs of everyone, the chances are good that you will need to adds extra pages to your web site.  Rather than create a new page template, we've added a New Page template.  (It's a quick, easy shortcut we've used for years!)

Use this page to create extra pages for your web.

Within the folders view:

Make a copy of the newpage.htm page by highlighting it and then using these shortcuts - Control + C to copy and Control + V to paste.

Rename your newly copied page to whatever name you need.

Then drag the page into the navigation view and drop it into place.

Front Page will then apply the proper names to the buttons and page banner.

Make as many pages as you need, when you need them.
