Alex, Since this is a fairly involved subject, I'll take it off the list after this. Just checking to see if anyone else here has any experience along this line.
Well the company I'm working for has been doing EDI for a few years but the software we are using is not going to be supported anymore. So I was assigned to start learning what we have to be a backup for the EDI coordinator and start evaluating other software. So I'm looking at the whole plate of spaggetti. I've been looking at what is happening with the current setup. We download an EDI text file to a trading partner software, the mapping software translates this to another reformatted text file that is sent to our antique legacy system. The orders are processed there and a text file comes back out. This text file goes back thru the mapping software gets reformatted and is sent back out with the trading partner software. Another text file is sent to a separate ASN(Advance Shipping Notice) software that is processed there. Out comes another text file that gets sent back to the VAN. I'm testing using CF to parse the incoming EDI files insert the resulting data to various SQL7 tables. Then pulling the data from the SQL7 tables to build the outgoing EDI files.
