A. B. C. D.A.
Communication handler " Process for transmitting and receiving electronic documents between trading partners via dial-up lines, public switched networks, multiple dedicated lines or a value added network (VAN)
For your exam you should know below information about Traditional EDI functions.
Moving data in a batch transmission process through the traditional EDI process generally involves three functions within each trading partner's computer system Communication handler " Process for transmitting and receiving electronic documents between trading partners via dial-up lines, public switched networks, multiple dedicated lines or a value added network (VAN)
VAN use computerized message switching and storage capabilities to provide electronic mailbox services similar to post offices.
The VAN receives all the outbound transactions from an organization, sort them by destination and passes them to precipitants when they log on to check their mailbox and receive transmission.
EDI Interface " Interface function that manipulates and routes data between the application system and the communication handler.
The interface consists of two components EDI Translator " The device translates data between standard format (ANSI X12) and trading partner's propriety information.
Application Interface " This interface moves electronic transactions to or from the application systems and perform data mapping.
Data mapping is the process by which data are extracted from EDI translation process and integrated with the data or process of receiving company.

Application System " The program that process the data sent to, or received from, the trading partner.
Although new controls should be developed for the EDI interface, the control for existing applications, if left unchanged, are usually unaffected.
The following were incorrect answers: EDI Interface " Interface function that manipulates and routes data between the application system and the communication handler.
Application System " The program that process the data sent to, or received from, the trading partner.
Although new controls should be developed for the EDI interface, the control for existing applications, if left unchanged, are usually unaffected.
EDI Translator " The device translates data between standard format (ANSI X12) and trading partner's propriety information.
The traditional EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) process involves the exchange of electronic documents between trading partners using a standardized format. This process typically involves four functions: communication handler, EDI interface, application system, and EDI translator.
Out of these four functions, the one that is used for transmitting and receiving electronic documents between trading partners via dial-up lines, public switched network or VAN is the communication handler.
A communication handler is responsible for establishing and maintaining the electronic communication link between two trading partners. This link can be established through various means such as dial-up lines, public switched network or VAN (Value Added Network). The communication handler ensures that the electronic documents are transmitted securely and reliably from one trading partner to another.
An EDI interface is responsible for converting the electronic documents into the standardized format used for EDI. The application system is the software application that generates or receives the electronic documents. The EDI translator is responsible for mapping the electronic documents to the appropriate fields in the receiving application system.
In summary, the communication handler function is used for transmitting and receiving electronic documents between trading partners via dial-up lines, public switched network or VAN in the traditional EDI process.
