    Upgrading from Mercator to DSTX

    Hi All, We are thinking of migrating from mercator 6.7.1 to DSTX 8.0 The main deterrent is that it seems we have to recompile all the maps in order to make them compatible with the new version. This is because our server admin group decided that all resource registries need to be different...

    Experts opinions needed - looping

    ...to relate these loops logically ex: this shipment contains 3 equipments; the first equipment has two orders ; the second 1 order and the third 2 orders The EDI for the above would be ST BSN ... HL*!*S ... HL*2*E ... HL*3*O ... HL*4*O ... HL*5*E ... HL*6*O ... HL*7*E ... HL*8*O ... HL*9*O ... SE

    Experts opinions needed - looping

    yes they are but they are optional. most partners dont send them.

    Experts opinions needed - looping

    janhes, eyetry, Creating a type tree based on the segments means I have to either incorporate all possible segments into the type tree at all levels. However different partners may recieve diff segments based on their requirement. Also the segments may be in diff orders for each customer. I...

    Manual File dropped gives output but not the file processed from syste

    Eyetry, Good idea, but sometimes, the reject folder files do not have the EDI message within it. What do you do then? What I did was, I wrote a map which runs every 60 mins against the CM Database. It gets the list of failed files, the ISA number, Group, Transaction, Sender Receiver and the...

    Experts opinions needed - looping

    janhes, thanks. but let me give you an example of the 856 we use: format A: ST BSN TD3 PRF PRF TD3 PRF TD3 SE format B: ST BSN PRF TD3 TD3 PRF TD3 PRF SE so what seems to be happening is that the logical looping is that a BSN can have TD3's which in turn have PRF's. Or a BSN can have PRF's...

    Experts opinions needed - looping

    Hi All, This is a pretty tough and interesting problem. Im stuck and am quite confused about how to proceed. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I built a map which uses the input type tree as EDI. The type tree consists of ISA, GS, ST, UNA, UNB, UNH , SE, GE, IEA, UNT, UNG and UNZ...

    RunMapCache settting in the Launcher

    Yes. Thats what it is. But i want to be able to change the maps on the fly when the customer demands it. So if I set it to -1 it will always read the latest map from the disk. But i dont know whether this will slow the system down i.e. continuous reading from disk

    RunMapCache settting in the Launcher

    Hi, Can anybody tell what the performance impact is if this value is set to the lowest i.e. 10 or if disabled (-1). Was looking to get some numbers or at least whether the event sevrer would be significantly slower. We have about 500 maps out of which about 200 would be run maps. I would like...

    Individual systems vs routers

    My only question here would be: why would I need a router at all. I can use a communication tool like Cyclone to route data to different directories/MQ/JMS queues and have independant map systems wathcing these. I thought having a lot fo independant systems causes a CPU overhead since we have...

    Individual systems vs routers

    Hi, I was wondering whether it would be better to create individual systems for every map we require to translate our partner's data. That means even though it is the same data format (EDI X12 and same message and version), should we still create a separate system (.msd) as compared to...

    Data Audit Settings for EDIFACT types

    Hi, I was trying to use the feature for Data Audit Log (accesible by clicking on the organizer button and it is the third tab in the window which pops up. This is in mercator 6.7.1) I tried to show the data for X12 type trees in the audit log and it worked fine. I just had to drag and drop the...

    Excel files as input to Mercator

    I dont have the documentation Excel. Is it the same as that for Databases? The examples I have state that the excel file needs to be open while running the map. Is this true? Im using Mercator 6.7.1 (302) on Windows Server.

    Excel files as input to Mercator

    Hi, Does anyone have experience with MS excel files being processed by mercator. 1) Can an MS excel file be defined as an input to mercator in the input card of a mercator map/system? how would mercator read the data as text and not some unprintable characters? 2) I used the DDEQUERY...

    WinCVS Source control tool

    I use Win CVS to check in all the sources. Howevre I dont think Mercator 6.7.1 can detect CVS as a version control tool. So I create the maps and check and source codes and compiled codes as binary files into CVS.

    Type Designer - propagating properties of types

    i meant is there any way to change them all together? there are over 200 items in the type tree.

    Type Designer - propagating properties of types

    I have a trading partner who wants to send me EDI data. The catch (there always seems to be one) is that they want to send the data without any delimiters, only segment terminators which are <NL>'s. The data for each field is to be padded with spaces to the max length (in case the data isnt...

    Soft Errors - Ignore them?

    If you are using mercator to do a put of a file you shouldnt have a problem, because mercator automatically creates the temporary files and then renames them after the put.

    Bundling of Splitted EDI

    1) Use the UNIQUE function to pull the unique ST's into a functional map. So you pass the unique ST's and the whole input file into the functional map. 2) For each unique ST, create an ISA - IEA and extract all the ST's with the same number and map them. 3) Repeat this process for each unique...
