MessageWay Translator
The MessageWay Translator is a tightly integrated, optional module of MessageWay Server that provides high-performance data translation services using predefined data transformation maps.
Translator is used by global enterprises for translating high volume, highly complex files and delivering unrivaled end-to-end performance. It provides single-pass, "any-to-any" translation that eliminates the need for intermediate file formats.
Meet High-Volume File Transfer and Translation SLAs
In today’s competitive economy, your enterprise needs to differentiate on service. And when your B2B customer wants to define the formats used for your electronic file exchange agreements, non-compliance isn’t an option. You need to be able to translate and process whatever your customers submit – immediately.
In that regard, not all translators are created equal. Dealing with complex, delimited format files can surpass the limits of some offerings. And commodity-class translators that require multiple passes to complete a reformatting can compromise control and auditability, as well as your service level agreements. Translator customers benefit from total control and visibility over the translation process and consistent performance against SLAs.
Flexibility and Reliability
Translator transforms any type of data structure in a single pass, ensuring maximum control and visibility of inputs and related outputs. Whatever the format – proprietary, XML, EDI, ERP, SWIFT, ACH, BAI2,or others –Translator translates them in "any-to-any" fashion, with no intermediate file generation. And like all processes built on the MessageWay Server, it is "stateful" and cluster ready. In the event of a system disruption, translation will resume on your standby platform with no loss of data.
Market-Leading Performance
Translator was engineered to meet the exacting throughput requirements of some of the world’s largest EDI users. Its superior performance has been demonstrated in head-to-head comparisons with virtually every major file translator available in the market and Translator has yet to lose any of these benchmarks.
Superior Resource Utilization
Translation can be a resource-intensive application. Translating higher volumes of data – bulk files and large numbers of files – can result in the need for larger, high-end servers and more of them. Translator was developed in C++ and runs native on Windows, Linux or Solaris (Unix) environments. As a result, it provides unrivaled results on commodity class servers and doesn’t collapse when processing multi-gigabyte files, as many translators do.
Parse and Validate Incoming Files
Integrity of content is a key issue in electronic file exchange. Unexpected content can lead to process interruptions and costly and time-consuming human intervention. Translator uses validation and compliance rules built into the data definitions to ensure that only acceptable information is passed on to your applications.
Core Service Integration
MessageWay Translator is a tightly integrated module of MessageWay, not a third-party bolt-on. With Translator, you’re equipped with extensive search and auditing capabilities as all the standard features of the MessageWay dashboard. Tracking features enable you to drill down to the transaction level to resolve audit and customer service inquiries.
Data Mapping Simplified
The graphical "Workbench" application provided with Translator takes data mapping to the next level. The visual drag-and-drop tools enable the rapid development of file maps by administrative personnel. Workbench also supports unlimited scope of access. So if you need to map the last element in the last occurrence of the last loop to the first field in the outbound message, you still simply drag and drop – no more complex, custom data management routines.
