I respect your opinions and had we more time available to invest  in the new 
implementation we probably could have made most of what we did work.  I agree 
the Enterprise verison is the way to go but now your comparing a 100 something 
thousand dollar car with something you could pick up at dodge on the way home.  
(Assuming you can still get mercator for around 20K w/o support).  My feeling 
is for that price it better well work and better be abl;e to do what were sold 
on it being able to do.  I have many a friends in the biz who use AI  (not 
enterprise) and they rave.  So I am not a hater, I jkust like to get up and get 
going when onsite.  I have said my peace.

By the way, that was a great feature of both products, not being trapped in the 
GUI and being able to let it fly, I too used Ultra-edit for that, gosh I love 
that tool!!!

Subject: Re: [EDI-L] Re: GXS help

Hello,

I agree with Srini. GXS AI (aka OmniTrans) is a very complex and robust
tool. GXS Enterprise is equally so. In the beginning it can take quite a bit
of time to develop and configure an application for ones particular
implementation. When one begins testing and debugging it can take time to
become comfortable because of the seemingly overwhelming amount information
in the log files. Another problem in earning how to use such a tool is that
you are limited mainly to vendor training courses and the manual. At times
its similar to C programming - you can do almost anything you want - this
can be a good and a bad thing ;)
However, once GXS is up and running and the development/ support team are
knowledgeable about their implementation they will find it an to be an
excellent solution.
