EDI Tracking Exclusions

When you click Edit Exclusions for the EDI Tracking Exclusion field on the File Tracking Options dialog box, the Edit EDI Exclusions dialog box appears.

Choose from the following:
  • Exclude all non-production trading partner connections
  • Exclude specific trading partner connections: Select items from the list that correspond to the trading partners you want to exclude from tracking.
  • Exclude specific folders: Select items from the list that correspond to the folders you want to exclude from tracking.
  • Exclude specific hosts\mailboxes\actions: Select items from the list that correspond to the hosts, mailboxes, or actions you want to exclude from tracking.

All exclusions are considered independently. For example, assume you select Exclude all non-production trading partner connections and newTradingPartner1 in the Trading Partners section and AS2 in the hosts\mailboxes\actions section. With these selections, a file processed through the system will be excluded from tracking if its action is associated with the AS2 host, or its action is associated with newTradingPartner1, or its action is associated with a non-production trading partner connection.
