Introduction

Definition: A route is a workflow for edi-files

A route determines where to get the incoming files, what to do with these edi-files (translate!) and their destination.
'Routes' are the most important concept in configuring bots.
Routes are independent: an edi-file in a route stays in that route.
Route are configured in bots-monitor->Configuration->Routes.

Schema of a simple route

To get a route like this working the following must be configured:

• the route itself in bots-monitor->Configuration->Routes.
• an in-channel for incoming edi files.
• an out-channel for outgoing edi files.
• the translation.

The route above is a simple route; files come from one source, there is one translation, one destination.
More options are possible using composite routes
