Sonia -
1. GPF - General Protection Fault, illegal operation, crash, etc. Sometimes
related to memory problems, dll conflicts, or anything else.
2. V5.1 is supposed to fix the memory leakage problems. I don't run the
machines for days at a time, so I have not tested this. Converting to a
32-bit database should help greatly. I hope you don't really mean 256K of
memory. The minimum requirement in the installation guide is 32 MB, but 64
MB is what tech support recommends as a minimum workable.
3. I've heard of a rounding error which might describe your situation, but I
have not run into it.
4. Scripts work without modification, but since the program installs into a
different directory than the previous version, you may need to change paths
within your script commands.
Good luck,

Hi, Sandy
Your information is really great helpful for us, we are going to do this
upgrade soon, here are my questions:
1) What's GPF problems?
2) Currently we have to reboot our EDI PC very 3 days as the memory run
out by TLW ver4.34(our resource is 256K RAM), has this fixed in V5.1? In
other words, has them fixed the problem that release memory properly after
each run?
3) We have developed our own maps for our TPs(so Peregrine doesn't
support this), I have found V5.1 sometimes couldn't handle EDI-to-Flatfile
properly if the element field has a R/17 length(but R/15 is OK), they
translate "12.56" into "12.55999999999999" when we test edi-to-flatfile(850
transaction), have you experienced these kind of problems?
4) Do the scripts need to be re-written(I heard somebody said they
do...)?
Thanks,
Sonia Zhu

Subject: Re: Tuesday, September 5, 2000 ~~~~ STX Trusted Link
for Windows - 5. 0
I've been testing Trusted Link for Windows version 5.1 for several
weeks
now. It began shipping the first week of August. The client trades
several
thousand documents a day, so the test has been at pretty high
volumes for
this software. Here's what I've found -
1. You must upgrade to v4.34 first if you want to migrate anything
from a
prior Harbinger product.
2. TLW 5.1 installs by default into a new directory within Program
Files.
The installation copies the 4.34 files and upgrades them, or creates
an
empty database - your choice.
3. There are no new features in v5.1. The upgrade is to a 32-bit
database
engine (Access). The file selection screens change to the Windows
32-bit
standard interface.
4. Flat-file mapping runs over 4 times faster in v5.1. My test
batch was
mapping-from-flatfile 5,000 invoices. This took 1 hour in 4.34, and
only 13
minutes on the same machine in v5.1. Most other features run
faster, too.
5. The problems with archiving large batches of documents (500 -
5000) and
then not being able to restore the archive have been fixed.
Harbinger tech
support also believes you should be able to restore large archives
created
with 4.34. I have had mixed results in my testing, but it works at
least
most of the time.
6. Most of the GPF problems have gone away. So far, it appears more
stable
in that regard.
7. Forms, maps, merge files, etc., are compatible between 4.34 and
5.1.
If you have any specific questions about problems you have had in
4.34 and
want to know if I've tested them in 5.1, let me know.

I hear that Harbinger/Peregrine STX Trusted Link for Windows will
have a
5.0 version soon. Has anyone hear anything about this new upgrade?
