997 in Seeburger

Question

Hi
We are in the process of implementing an XI-EDI solution using the Seeburger adapter. I've heard that Seeburger generates some report after a syntax check & you can send that as a 997.
How do we configure that? Is that an automatic process that is taken care of by the Seeburger adapter & just needs to be configured or does it involve mapping, where I may have to treat this as a synchronous XI message?
I'd really appreciate any help/suggestions on this.
Thanks

HI,
Purpose of Split 997:
The SEEBURGER message splitter module initiates new XI messages as children of a main (or parent) XI Message. A new child (or split) message will be created for each main message’s attachment in the split list.
When to use split:
1)if the mail adapter initiates a XI message which contains several attachments, you can use the message splitter to create a new XI Message for each attachment in the original email.
2) Ususally split 997 is used when you have a multiple UNH segments under the UNB segments and you need to create a multiple IDOC for each UNH occurance that time the split 997 channel is used.
Process flow in configuration:
The Message Splitter module must be configured in the SAP XI Integration Directory. The Message Splitter module will executed as part of the module sequence of the communication channel.
Furthermore since the module must initiate new XI Messages it also takes the role of a sender adapter. Therefore the splitter adapter can be selected as adapter in sender channels.
operation mode of the splitter in 4 steps:
1. An XI Message has been initiated by an adapter (e.g. OFTP, mail …)
2. The Splitter message will be executed as part of the module sequence processing of the sender channel.
3. The splitter reads the splitter partner data to known which sender channel should be used for initiating the child messages.
4. Child messages will be initiated. Note the sender channel used to initiate child messages uses a special adapter called Split997
