This document outlines the technical requirements that must be met to successfully load and/or retrieve data from one system to another. The ICD documents and tracks the necessary information required to effectively define the CMS EDGE server system interface, as well as any rules for communicating with the EDGE servers, to give the development team guidance on the architecture of the system to be developed. In addition, the purpose of this ICD is to clearly communicate all possible inputs for all potential actions. This ICD helps ensure compatibility between system segments and components. The document does not include business operation details or instructions; this information is contained in the EDGE Server Business Rules
