The Redix GUI Mapper with Authoring Tools is a GUI application that helps the user to:

• Create and maintain messages
• Create and maintain maps
• Test a map (with the additional Redix AnyToAny Format Converter Engine)
• Generate the mapping files, i.e., IFD (Input File Descriptor) and OFD (Output File Descriptor), to be used in a production environment. The mapping files, together with an input file, can be used to access the Redix AnyToAny Format Converter Engine through API (Application Programming Interface).

Add-on Modules

Redix modules are optional add-ons to the Redix GUI Mapper with EDI Authoring Tools that add additional functionality. Multiple modules may be added onto a single GUI Mapper, and the modules do not have to be installed during the initial GUI Mapper installation. The GUI Mapper is fully compatible with all Redix modules.

The Redix GUI Mapper with EDI Authoring Tools does not include the Redix AnyToAny Format Converter Engine, so users have to purchase separate engine license in order to test a map in the GUI Mapper.

Depending on the enterprise’s needs, the enterprise can purchase separate module licenses in addition to the GUI Mapper. For example, if the enterprise needs to convert NCPDP files to any other format, then the enterprise should purchase a separate NCPDP Module license. Similarly, if the enterprise wishes to convert XML files to any other format, then the enterprise should purchase an XML Module license. The following is a list of possible modules that can be added onto the AnyToAny Format Converter Engine.
