This is perhaps a perfect opportunity for another Gentran user to talk to Sterling Commerce about porting Gentran Server to Linux for zSeries. That would make two of us... :) It currently runs on AIX.

Is anyone doing EDI translation on Linux? There is an EDI translation workload that I want to move from mainframe to Linux. An alternative is for the process in Linux to open up a socket or 3270 session with the mainframe and have EDI translation done using GENTRAN. From what I have seen, there seems to be no easy interface to GENTRAN. Currently we do a lot of clumsy things like FTPing the data to the mainframe, running a myriad of batch jobs and multiple FTPs from the mainframe to business units. I want to consolidate all this logic in one process that can be initiated via Apache server. The only part I have difficulty with is the EDI translation. Though I can roll something in Perl (I have done this for HIPAA before), cusotom translation is not gaining much support. The process is like this: We get the EDI data 'post'ed via https to a server. This data is to be translated, split and distributed to different locations. The original sender needs confirmation as well. All ideas are welcome. __________________________________________ Ranga Nathan / CSG Systems Programmer - Specialist; Technical Services; BAX Global Inc.
