• MIG_mose is a Python(3.11,3.12) project.
• .docx files a processed by the python-docx library.
• EdiFact formats are used as in maus.edifact.

Installation

MIG_mose is a Python-based tool. Therefore, you have to make sure, that Python is running on your machine.

We recommend using virtual environments to keep your system clean.

Create a new virtual environment with

Finally, install the package with

pip install migmose

Features And How To Use Them

At this point, MIG_mose works as a command-line interface tool (CLI). There are several flags available to provide a user-friendly way to interact with MIG_mose. Below the available options are listed:

• Input Directory (-eemp, --edi-energy-mirror-path):

  • Description: This option allows the user to specify the path to a edi-energy-mirror-like repository which contains .docx files for the MIGs (Message Implementation Guides) in subdirectories structured by the format version.
  • Example: --edi-energy-mirror-path /path/to/edi_energy_mirror

• Message Format (-mf, --message-format):

  • Description: This option defines the set of message formats to be parsed. Users can specify multiple message formats by providing multiple values. The formats are EdiFact formats (cf. maus.edifact.EdifactFormat). If no format is specified, all formats are parsed.
  • Example: --message_format "UTILMD" --message_format "ORDCHG"

• Output Directory (-o, --output-dir):

  • Description: This option allows the user to specify the path to the directory which should contain the output files generated by the tool. If the directory does not exist, it will be created automatically.
  • Example: --output_dir /path/to/output_directory

• Output File Type (-ft, --file-type):

  • Description: Defines the output format. Choose between csv for flat Nachrichtenstruktur tables, nested_json for json files of the nested Nachrichtenstruktur tables and reduced_nested_json for a reduced nested Nachrichtenstruktur. Default is csv.
  • Example: `--file-type "csv"

• Format Version (-fv, --format-version):

  • Description: Defines the format version.
  • Example: `--format-version "FV2310"

Usage Example

To use the CLI logic provided by this tool, follow the command syntax below:

migmose -eemp /path/to/edi_energy_mirror -o /path/to/output_directory -mf "UTILMD" -mf "ORDCHG" -ft "csv" -fv "FV2310"
