Two quite fitting plates I thought. On a plumbers van: PR08LEM On a yellow Porche Boxster: FA57BOY

Hello Fig000, Sorry but I've been working on a system migration and haven't visited the site for a while. It sounds like the option to install the Integratration Components was not selected during the install. Sounds like the company who set it up wanted to keep this part of...

Hello Fig000, I work with Gentran Server for Windows so I guess it's not identical. Here's a page from the manual on the Sterling Commerce Customer Centre. You can access the Gentran:Director Application Integration Window in one of four different ways: ? Click the menu option from...

Hi R279, The System Import map is simply a method for Gentran to ascertain the Partner and the Transaction Set to be used for the data being imported into Gentran i.e. the partner relationship. When you have registered the compiled System Import map in the system you also need to set it...

You will need to delete and recreate all your comms and file system mailboxes. Take some screen dumps of the mailbox set ups before you delete them. I agree with RonProcak that you should run this past Sterlings support before you do anything. I'm sure you are not the first to do this! Good...

Have you created a System Import map and registered it in the Imports tab on the System Configuration? See "Creating a System Import Map" in the Application Integration help. The System Import map describes where it should look to find various pieces of information such as: Partner ID, Message...

If you open the file in MS Word you can perform a "replace all" on the segment terminator (usually ' [single quote]) character with '^p which will place a carriage return after the single quote. You will need to use MS Notepad or another viewer to view the file to avoid the segments...

Hi Nanda, In the inbound side of the UNH break map on the Message_Type element you need a standard rule of 'Update' - 'Document Record' - 'Transaction Set ID'. Hope this helps.

Hi, We are now using OFTP but this is what our old Asynch script looked like: //Advantis DCL // define user editable variables scriptvar string[8] LogonAcct; scriptvar string[8] LogonId; scriptvar string[8] LogonPsw; scriptvar string[8] IEAcct; scriptvar string[8] IEId; scriptvar string[8]...

Well at least I am not the only one experiencing this problem. I have observed this problem for over 3 years in version 2.1 and latterly in V3.2 SP1. Sterling have never given an explanation for it as they have been unable to reproduce the problem on their systems. We had to create a count...

Hello Kevin, Open the map and go to Edit/Details, there is a box marked "GENTRAN:Server for Windows NT 2.x Compatible Rule Execution". This box should be ticked if you want the map to behave as a version 2.x map. You will need to read the V3.1.1 readme file for answers to...

I believe that this is simply the number of seconds since 1st January 1970.

I haven't actually done this but I have done some reading for a feasibility study for a future project. We are using Gentran for NT v3.2 and the ODBC Users Guide clearly indicates that it is possible to query and update multiple databases during translation. I suggest you check out the ODBC...

In an EDI message the terminator character is used to allow the translator to recognise the end of the segment (or record). The delimiter characters are used to separate individual elements and sub-elements within the segment and, in effect, act as "terminators" for each piece of...

Sorry! I've never found anything vaguely useful on the net in terms of teaching aids for GENTRAN NT. The online help is OK and the mapping tool (Application Integration) is quite intuitive and with your Mercator experience you should be able to get up to speed fairly quickly. As for the rest of...
