On some enterpise class client server translators the translator and
mapping tool reside on different systems. Hence they may be referring to
the translator or mapping tool.
There are some inexpensive edi translators that just explode the edi
document into positional flat file that you could load directly with Cobol,
Sql Loader, whatever, saves you an intermediary file format. Which can
work out in some cases. Thereby not even having to buy a mapping tool.

[EDI-L] looking for mapping tools
02/10/2005 02:21 PM
Greetings group,
I'm trying to find a non expensive tool that could be used instead of
Mercator (now Ascential DataStage) for our mapping needs. We deal
with the EDIFACT standard and the tool should work on Windows
environment. We are looking for a product, not a third party service.
I have been doing some google-ing and searches on this list's
archives, so far I have found references to (haven't tested any):
-Altova MapForce (which is expensive)
-Softshare Delta
-Pro EDI
-Etasoft Extreme Translator
-B-data Ediware client
-DataWatch Monarch data pump
I would like to know if someone has used any of these products or
knows about other products I could check out.
The reason we are looking for an alternative to Mercator is because
of the high license costs incurred when creating every new map.
Also, along the lines of this research I have found the
terms "Translation tools" & "Mapping tools" used indistinctly in some
places whether not in others, which could be the main difference
between these terms?
Thanks a lot,
David Pinzon
