A company I'm working for recently purchased a suite of IBM
middleware. I have used Websphere in the past and did not care for
the product or IBM... that was 4 years ago. The translator I've been
asked to use is called 'Partner Gateway' and it looks overly
complicated for what we need it to do. I'm familiar with Gentran and
GXS AI and both would be better options in my opinion. We're running
on Unix and using the service bus architecture of Webshpere.
My thought was that I'd implement a small and separate EDI gateway
that appeared as a service on the bus. So, GIS would be too big in my
opinion... I just a need a translator with good XML handling, partner
profiles, and great error handling so we can easily see where errors
exist... without having to program all of this ourselves.
I'm having a mental block as to who's out there for good but simple
software.... and that doesn't want to run my entire back end.
Thanks,
Carl
