John,
I would highly recommend Mercator. (www.Mercator.com). The company has
renamed the product line and itself. I won't bore you with the name changes.
Nevertheless, it is one of the strongest transformation products out there. In
fact, over 100 other companies embed the Mercator engine into their product
line. It can easily access DB2, Oracle, SQL Server, etc via native drivers or
via ODBC. They also easily work with email, flat files, message ques, HTTP, ...
it is a long list. I believe that the only down side to the product is
debugging. The product produces an audit log and a trace file. If you have to
dive into the trace, it takes a while to understand it at first and it produces
a lot of data to go through.

> Greetings Everyone:
>
> Currently we are a Harbinger EDI/Open 3.3 user that is running on an NT
> 4.0 clent server environment. As many of you are aware, Harbinger is
> about to stop support on the EDI/Open product because of it's carry-on
> product called Trusted Link Enterprise that runs on the NT system as well.
> All of this is the result of the merger when Harbinger Corporation
> purchased Premenos Corporation.
>
> While we will consider the carry-on product from Harbinger we also want to
> make sure that we are aware of other existing systems that run on an NT
> Client Server environment.
>
> The one feature that I am interested in is the need to be able to take the
> EDI data that is received and place it into a Microsoft SQL Server
> environment without a lot of processing. Currently, we are getting EDI
> informaiton and we can only map the data to a flat file on the NT file
> system. This flat file has to be processed by a SQL Server system so that
> the data in the files can be pushed into the SQL tables that we have for
> our application system. If at all possible, I would like to have a system
> that not only sits on top of SQL Server but can write directly into a SQL
> Server database.
>
> If you have such a product, or you know of such a product, then please let
> me know via a direct e-mail to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or you can post to
> the list if you desire.
>
> Thanks to all of you if you can help me in my search.

> If you have any questions concerning this matter then please feel free to
