Thanks much folks. The issue is resolved, but in a very uncanny way. Actually
I took over the EDI system here only a few months before and the worst part is
that I wasn't given any knowledge transition from the ex-contractors ( am sure
they are reading this mail too). They did not have the copy of the Gentran
installer file and hence had to request one from Sterling for installing in the
new Win 2003 server. The versions and build were same as the one installed in
the old Win 2K server, as expected.
For the issue, what we did was copied the entire Gentran60SA folder from the
old server to the new one replacing all the files and re-tried testing. Yes, I
understand its weird but this was the true life saver. The outbounds now
translate without generating any system exception.
By trial and error we identified the files that were responsible for this
error and it was none other than lftran.exe and lfwrapper.dll. To our surprise,
we found that the Creation Date was different for both the files in the two
servers. The old server had files of date 2004 and in the new one it had 2003.
Now the point is Sterling sent us the package
-> which had faulty modules namely lftran.exe and lfwrapper.dll. The clear
evidence is that in the old server these files (2003 version) were renamed as
lftran_backup.exe and lfwrapper_backup.dll and copied to some junk folder and
the new (2004 versions) files in the actual program directory.
-> which did not have any patch files.
I am not sure if anyone else had this issue with Gentran 6.0. This has not yet
been escalated to Sterling. I would like to hear from the experts before I do
that.
Regards
PK

When I tried to migrate from Win2K to Win 2003 I found that I had
errors in my outbound flatfile data. I got weird errors like yours. The problem
was the new Win2003 NFS service was replacing the LF at the end of each Unix
file with CR+LF. If your app is on Unix or mainframe, check your data for this
problem.
