If anybody is working in this type of environment I would love to hear about how it's working. This is for a shop that it migrating from World. I want to know about the interface process and extensions for Gentran.
Thanks,

We have Gentran Windows NT 4.0 and JDE OW XE. I've used the JDE extensions with good results. I initially created the maps using the JDE flatfile extract, but plan to replace some of the outbound maps with GENTRAN ODBC maps to improve EDI processing automation (ie fix/filter the data before it fails in the translator). ODBC is also allowing us to provide extensive data requirements to certain customers from tables that our outside system 47.

I have done a few Gentran:Server to JDE One World integrations. I would agree the fastest way would be to use ODBC mapping and write data directly to the F47XXX tables and read data from the F47XXX for the outbound transactions.
