How do I make an edi configuration?

1. Use plugins. This is a quick and easy way to install predefined configurations of bots.
   • Downloads: bots sourceforge site
   • Description of plugins: on this wiki page
   • Plugins can be shared by users and communities. Send your plugin!
2. Use a plugin 'close' to what you want, and adapt.
3. Do your own configuration:
   • Take a look at the tutorial.
   • Use bots-monitor for configuration of routes, channels, translations and partners.
   • There are grammars for all edifact and x12 messages on the bots sourceforge site.
   • Grammars and mapping require knowledge of edi and edi-standards and some python knowledge. (python is a relatively easy programming, no deep knowledge of python is needed).
   • Use command line tool 'bots-xml2botsgrammar.py' to generate a grammar from an xml file.
   • Check a grammar using the command line tool 'bots-grammar.py'.
