Element <edifactProfiles>

Purpose: Container for named EDIFACT separator profiles.

Why: Use it to group named EDIFACT separator profiles for one AMA generation block.

Example

<edifactProfiles/>

Decision guide

Business value: Keeps partner-specific EDIFACT separators explicit and reusable by templates.

• Use when

  • Several templates share a declared EDIFACT separator profile.

• Choose another approach when

  • Every output supplies all separators directly.

• Prerequisites

  • Place one or more profile children in the AMA generation block.

Render profiled EDIFACT output and package its artifacts

Use the AMA family when partner-specific EDIFACT separators, templates, output names, side artifacts, and archive packaging must be modeled together.
