I totally agree, EDI and MQ are complimentary not competing technologies. MQ is analogous to FTP, AS2, but not EDI. We implemented MQ with the Department of Homeland Security for a US Customs application. The error recovery at the transport level is the best. The MQ replaced an MSRJE comm link, but the underlying system is still the same, only the transport method changed. Of course we are trading EDI documents! cjg

MQ is a transport - it takes stuff from here and guarantees delivery to there. now, if you use MQ to send data to a translator and from the translator to somewhere else ... then it's doable. all of the larger messaging flow systems that i've done use this architecture. it's very real-time friendly. unfortunately most of the legacy systems are still batch oriented, and most of the major translators are built to process in a batch environment. --- Ilia Chlaifer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Howdy all. > One of my colleges had made a statement that Messaging/MQ can and > should eventually replace traditional EDI. > When I've disputed his statement claiming that MQ is not applicable in > the retail world due it its complicity and luck of true standards > throughout the trading partners (not as EDI replacement at least), he > had stated that GAP for example had done it.
