For your consideration.
We have a small amount of traffic with GXS (which I put in quotes because
ours is actually a bisync connection to the former IBM Network/Advantis
Expedite/Direct VAN). Our logs show no interruption on Feb. 21, 2007.

Michael,
There are indeed Trading Partners who are attempting to use EDI as another
way to squeeze money from manufacturers/suppliers. You can pay to do EDI, or
you can pay more to not do EDI, or you can walk away.

Hi Michael,
Your right, that's another issue, and it is surely more pervasive than the WEB
EDI issue. Don't get me started. I have dealt with a lot of these bogus
testings, many of which do nothing more than test that you can receive a dummy
document to your translator and turn around a 997.
sapevt is an SAP provided program. You can use it in a shell script if you
have a reason to do something with your data, post translation, prior to
processing it into SAP. It works well in place of startrfc. (As mentioned,
you use sapevt to trigger an event which will cause a job to run in
The problem of WEB EDI is when you have a mature EDI program and want to
do real EDI, but a customer requires you to do WEB EDI as a first step
(thus gaining the benefits of EDI for them while sticking your company with
all the manual effort to do these turnarounds), and then never wants to talk
It's funny that support is saying you can't do this in GIS because when you go

this for your, no existing services, though presumably with
Another pitfall is that writing directly to the database may bypass application
edits allowing bad or incomplete data into the system. For example, in SAP you

This can ease upgrades (of either the ERP or of the EDI document version or
even of the EDI system) as well as providing more flexibility should a

The standalone mapper in GIS is also known by Sterling Commerce as the common

This may not be part of your plan, but if you want to migrate incrementally
instead of big bang, you could always upgrade to Gentran:Unix 6.x first.
This gives you a familiar platform that will run everything just like you are

Hi,
Personally, I like it when history is included in a reply, BUT could you cut
all the unrelated info that gets tagged onto the bottom of the message?
Sometimes there is more of this than there is message (and multiple copies of
the same boilerplate as a message goes back and forth).
Thanks
Thank you for all the replies! Very helpful.
