Grenefolc Vartala Stefna — Partner connector

The Grenefolc Vartala Stefna - Partner connector is a model-driven document recognition and routing profile generation connector for Boomi. It processes documents entirely locally — it makes no external calls or connections.

Stefna analyzes inbound business documents, identifies their format and transaction type using configurable recognition profiles, and generates compact routing profile documents. These routing profiles can be used for orchestration, classification, model selection, document caching, AI-assisted processing, and downstream transformation.

Stefna does not fully transform or map source documents. Instead, it extracts configurable, routing-significant structures and metadata from the source payload and generates a lightweight Routing Profile consumed by downstream processes and connectors.

Stefna supports the following structured business document formats:

EDIFACT
ANSI X12
Tradacoms
SAP IDoc Flat File (FFV)
XML
JSON

The connector uses configurable recognition masks, routing rules, and extraction models to determine which portions of a document are significant for routing and classification purposes.

Connector configuration

To configure the Stefna connector, set up the following components:

Stefna connection
Stefna operation

This creates reusable components that separate connection settings from operation settings.

After configuring both components, place the Stefna connector into a process. When properly configured, Stefna analyzes inbound documents, identifies the appropriate recognition profile, generates a routing profile, and publishes routing information as Dynamic Document Properties for downstream use.

Business use cases

Multi-format EDI routing — Automatically identify whether an inbound document is EDIFACT, ANSI X12, Tradacoms, or SAP IDoc and route it to the appropriate downstream transformation process without manual format inspection.
Pre-transformation classification — Generate a lightweight routing profile from structured documents (EDI, XML, JSON) so downstream connectors and processes can select the correct mapping model or orchestration path.
Document correlation and audit tracing — Use Stefna-generated UUIDs and Dynamic Document Properties to track documents across multi-step integration processes, supporting audit trails and cache management.

Limitations

Stefna does not perform full document transformation or field-level mapping. It extracts routing-significant metadata only.
For XML and JSON documents, only root elements are automatically analyzed and included in the routing profile.

Tracked properties

This connector has no predefined tracked fields. Use the Dynamic Document Properties published by Stefna (ddp_stefna_routingClass, ddp_stefna_routingProfile, ddp_stefna_uuid, ddp_stefna_statusCode, ddp_stefna_statusResponse, ddp_stefna_logJson) in downstream process steps.
