RE: [BULK] Re: Building Maps in Gentran
I have to agree with Brian.
When we first installed Gentran 'basic edition', we've spent 3 days
trying to configure it on the Hardware, Software, Network and Client
Access level. And we had someone from Sterling helping us, billing $200
p/h
As a Proof of Concept we've created a mapping environment for one
customer (1 810, 1 856 & 1 850 map only).
Between the application specialists and business people and 2 Full-time
Gentran specialists on premises it took over a month. Then we've tested
transactions we the Trading Partner, and had to go back and made even
more changes.
Sounds like rocket since to me.

No, I've worked at it very hard for the last 20 years. That's 20 years
more experience than you have in EDI.
Your first disservice as a consultant was overselling a solution to your
customer. You really don't need to buy a mapper
and all the supporting pieces to do one transaction. You could have
written a program in one of your several languages
and used an outsourcer to pass the data to you via ftp.
You'll get quite an education installing the "basic" edition. Be
prepared to spend plenty of time on the phone with support,
and try to do it during the daytime ... when they are available and you
can bill.
The smartest thing you said was "... hire someone if I have to."
The stupidest thing you did was insulting someone you don't know who
could help you. I hope you don't have that attitude with
your client ... no, wait, I hope you do so I get a new client.
