Envelope objects overview

Use envelopes to create a text file where system and editable values are defined by start and end separators. An example of a created text file is XML. Users can create any message envelope using the text file as a template. The user-defined message envelopes that you can apply to outbound messages in IEC are managed in Partner Admin Tool.

You can retrieve user-defined manifest items and use them in an envelope. User-defined manifest items must contain prefixes such as map, agr, or daf.

System values

System values are set by IEC at run time. For example, the system value %+THE_PAYLOAD+% is replaced by the message’s payload created by the IEC mapping. The %+THE_PAYLOAD+% is automatically replaced at runtime by the message payload.

Editable values

Editable values are set in the message’s Agreement. In the envelope template, you can use the format %EDITABLE:MyProperty% wherein MyProperty is a parameter that must be updated when using the envelope in the Edit Process dialog box.
