1. Reconcile 997s- there is a filter you can use to show all docs unacked by
997.
When I ran Gentran, I created a job that exported the status of every
transaction, then I had a DTS package import the report into SQL server,
where I was able to automate (filter and email) the report to just show
unacked documents.
2. The more data that is in the system, the slower it gets. You need to be
purging the system on schedule or else you are on a course for disaster. One
they system gets too full, there is a db error that prevents you from
deleting records. You can use the archive function if you do not exceed the
capacity of that application (it does have limits as to how much it can
archive in one session).
I actually used the purge function because my needs were greater than
Archive could handle. I made my own copies of messages to archive from the
cc function in the mailbox. I sent outbound docs to another extract mailbox
which wrote them to the disk.
The bottom line is that Gentran NT is a small to medium enterprise tool (at
best). Sorry, but that is the truth.

Subject: Gentran questions
Hi Everybody!
I have a couple of quick Gentran questions that I am hoping
someone can help me with:
We currently are using Gentran Server for Windows NT running on
Windows 98 for EDI and we have an AS400 that everything else is
on.
1) Any suggestions on how to check to make sure that for
outbound files everything that comes out of the AS400 makes it
all the way out to the VAN? Currently it is a manual and very
time consuming process where two different reports are
run...one from the AS400 and one from Gentran and a person has
to go through each making sure counts match. I know how
checks were done at my previous company but am hoping someone
here has a better solution.
2) Right now Gentran is running extremely slow, even just to
look up trading partner information and translating even one
document is painfully slow. I am working with someone from
Gentran to figure out what the problem is but was hoping
someone else on the list experienced this and could give me a
quick fix. This has been this way for a very long time.
There is only one computer that doesn't have this problem and
the only difference is that Windows NT is running on it not
Windows 98. I was told that is not the problem. Any/all
suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.
I know this isn't the most exciting topic but this list has
without a doubt been one of the best resources I've ever had!
Have a great day!!
