Migrating Visual Maps to AI Maps in Gentran:Server Unix 6.0
According to Sterling Commerce, the Visual mapping tool used in
Gentran:Server for Unix up through version 5.2 will no longer be
updated/enhanced as of version 6.0. This has led me to investigate a
project for my company in which we will migrate our small list of
visual maps to the AI mapper. However, two things appear to be
missing from the AI mapper which were used extensively by my
predecessors in the Visual mapping tool, TPCode mapping and Generic
Synonym tables.
According to the FAQ, you cannot map the TPCode directly from the
Trading partner information to the application file. Anyone figure
out a way around this limitation other than by large extended rules
or hard coding in the specific maps?
The Generic Synonym tables can be replaced by code lists in
individual AI maps but other then copying maps to include the code
lists, can these be stored somehow to be accessed by any AI map?
My question is, has anyone undertaken this map conversion before in
the Unix environment? If so, did you deal with the TPCode and Generic
Synonym table issues? How did you handle these issues, more
importantly, best practice to move generic synonym tables to
equivalent in AI mapping?
Thank you,
