3000.0. "3rd party EDI packages on Digital Unix?" by IJSAPL::DEWIJK (GJ from the Dutchlands) Fri Feb 07 1997 21:48

    Hi,
    
    just for my information:
    
    What third party EDI-vendors are selling their software on
    our Digital Unix?
    
    who can tell..;-)
    Thanks

        There are some we know about a little over here in France and 
        EDISERVER is a pretty robust one (server category).
        
        AMTRIX from FRONTEK(Sweden) is fashionable over here too.
        
        Regards,
        Jean-marie

Hmmm ... so what's wrong with our favorite EDI package on UNIX?

    Mark,
    
    nothing.
    A customer asked for this info. not specific to EDI, but the
    availability of third party software on Digital Unix.
    EDI packages was taken as an example.
    
    btw, this customer is a happy DECEDI customer on VMS.

3000.5well I could mention a few things...COPCLU::FINNWed Feb 12 1997 10:3634
    Mark,
    
    Well, I could mention a few things...:
    
    1) Its (partly) not possible to order the product as the following
    numbers are not in our systems:
    	QL-5HGA*-AA DEC/EDI Internet SMTP/MIME package
    	QL-5HDAJ-AA DEC/EDI Application Client for Sun Solaris
    	QL-4LNAA-H8 DEC/EDI CommandCenter Media
    
    2) The decedi_config script gives syntax errors if you try to configure
    a database on a fresh system
    
    3) Application Batching are not working as it should
    
    4) The X.400 gateway still only supports 7 bits characters
    
    5) Still no sign of support of EDIFACT Controle
    
    6) The decedi_config backup/restore functions does not always work...
    
    7) If maximizing the summary windows within cockpit you normally gets
    stuck..
    
    8) The functionality around EDIFACT UNOC:3 handling is NOT to be proud
    of
    
    9) The complexity and numbers of combined ObjectBroker and DEC/EDI
    issues are amazing...
    
    But Mark as you know, I still loves our favorite EDI package on UNIX
    and still gets lots of new customers to buy it!

3000.6CONTRL support is comingMETSYS::NELSONDavid, http://samedi.reo.dec.com/Wed Feb 12 1997 11:1015
    >    4) The X.400 gateway still only supports 7 bits characters
    
    	Are you saying this is true for the PEDI Gateway as well?
    	I'm not aware of this requirement.  Please inform Graham
    	(EDIENG::)Helliar so we can add it to a requirements list
    	he maintains.
    
    
    >    5) Still no sign of support of EDIFACT Controle
    
    	Support of the CONTRL message is currently being implemented 
    	for DEC/EDI V3.2 on both UNIX and OpenVMS.
    
    	Please let me know if you have any questions concerning our
    	support of the CONTRL message in DEC/EDI.

    That's a new one on me, what exactly happens?

    Finn,
    
    Klap the horse!
    
    P.S. For those of you who can't speak FINNish, it means "take it easy"!

    GJ,
    
    I believe all of the bigger U.S. vendors have either ported or will
    port to Alpha.  This includes Sterling, GEIS, and Harbinger.  I'm not
    100% sure though.
