Download and Install the Sterling Standards for EDI

Before you install the Sterling Standards for EDI standards database on your desktop, consider these guidelines:

  • Your system administrator should download the most current standards database from the IBM® Customer Support Web site on a regular basis. After your administrator downloads the most current version of the Sterling Standards for EDI standards database to the Sterling B2B Integrator server for your installation, you can follow the instructions below to install the standards for your use with IBM Sterling B2B Integrator Map Editor.
  • For the most current version of the Sterling Standards for EDI, contact IBM Customer Support.
  • Be sure your desktop meets the Windows Client requirements listed in the Sterling B2B Integrator System Requirements.
  • In the Sterling B2B Integrator Map Editor, the Update EDI Version feature enables you to convert to another standards version. Specifically, you can convert the delimited EDI format side of your map to the most recent standards version from the standards database, and you can save the revised version as a new map.

To download and install the Sterling Standards for EDI database:
