Hi,
We're on Harbinger TLE 4.2. Though subtle, Harbinger have clearly stated
that you WILL go to e-Version 5 - as per their version retirement program.
Personally, I'm going to stick around for a little while - till 3-4 months
after release before looking at upgrading. Call it bug insurance if you wish
:-)
As I understand it, e-Version 5 will have a seperate XML price tag. As to
XML, we're doing pretty much the same: waiting till either one of our
partner scenarios makes it worth the effort; or until it starts to become
mainstream. At this stage I have seen more hype and theorizing on it than
anything else... still waiting for something like "I'm trying to accomplish
XYZ using XML"-type questions to appear on any of the EDI/SAP lists I'm
subscribed to.
So far I'm just following the trends to see where they lead. At the same
time however I'm also keeping it in mind for any developments to make it
easier to 'port to XML' when the time comes - a kind of 'passive
preparation'.
So, in view of everything, we'll be going for the upgrade in maybe 6-8
months, probably without the XML portion at first.
Cheers
Mike

Subject: Harbinger's new e-Version 5/AS400
All:
I'd like to get the opinion of the Harbinger EDI/400 users regarding
the direction they are taking on Harbinger's new offering of e-Version 5.
Will you buy it? What are your trading partners doing? Will the
price tag on the XML affect your decision to buy/not buy? Are you looking
at competing products? Will the version retirement on 12-29 affect your
decision?
My concern is that I'm using 2.11(green screen) with JDEdwards. I
don't know how the new version will handle the conversion of my user file
defintions/logical files/maps etc. I've seen nothing from Harbinger except
the usual marketing papers.
Thanks for any input. Feel free to contact me directly if you want.
