hl7/edi generic to type converter

Description​

This scriptlet converts generic edi or hl7 messages to predefined message structure. When reading EDI messages, Orchestra supports to modes, dynamic and typed. In dynamic mode the message structure is inferred dynamically from the content. As a drawback, the name of the elements are build upon the following pattern <segment>.<pos>. Since this are technical names the could not be read easily by a user. Such a dynamically generated message could be converted in a more human readable form by converting the message according to a predefined EDI message type containing more readable names.
