RE: <tech>Gentran Director for Windows - 997 & CONTRL Processing
Howard,
Yes, Notification was a problem for my last client. That is one of the
reasons they brought me in.
Yes, You can exit out of a map to do a user exit. Another way is to launch
a bat file from within the map as well. All of this can be triggered by
extended rules in the N1 loop.

Jim,
I have never been able to get email to work with the Notification Service
in Gentran 3.x, but I'm pretty sure I know what the problem is. When I
install 4.x in January, I will make take the time then to get it going. In
practice, the situation for which I most want notification is when the
services are down, and Gentran isn't much help then ;)
Let me provide some more detail. We will be getting orders for US stores
and Mexican stores under the same trading partner from our bisync mailbox.
As I said, the only way to distinguish them is within the N1 loop. As it
is right now, when the map recognizes the order as a Mexican order, it
changes the trading partner name in the export file so it will be ignored by
our order import process. The order would just become invisible at this
point, but of course we do want to relay it. I'm not sure if there would be
a way to email it from within the map? If I had the ability to write a
user exit, probably. As it is, my solution will work even though it is a
bit convoluted. If I can figure out how to get the DBI and SMTP modules in
Perl to work, I can condense it down to a single script. The end result is
these orders will be emailed to the right customer service people, in raw
EDI format.
The best solution will be when our Mexican (and European and Pacific
Rim...) subsidiaries get set up in our Order Entry and Logistics system, and
then they will gain our EDI ordering, invoicing and ASN capabilities. Our
Canadian subsidiary already has done this and it works very well.

Howard,
Why not use email them?
In the Windows for NT version of Gentran you can setup Outlook to send
and receive them. This way a Gentran mailbox will pickup and deliver them
from your email server. I found that it is better to have separate email
accounts and outlook setups for the mailbox versus other usages like
Notification.
