1) If you are new to Liaison Delta, you may also benefit from seeking out
the Yahoo discussion group specifically created for that ("EDI_Softshare").
The members of that group may be able to provide more specific advice on your
application. Some of the members of that group are also members here, but you
may find better feedback there.
2) As an effort toward advice to your problem: You may have a problem with
the source node of your rules. Try setting a breakpoint on one of your rules
before the BCH01, and then "step" through the subsequent rules. You may find
that the source nodes of your rules are attempting to run the DTM rule before
the BCH segment-which would always give you a negative result for your
conditional check (BCH01 = '01'). Using the "step through" approach should
also allow you to check the snapshot values of your elements, variables, and
database records as you work through one rule in your map at a time. This is a
great advantage of this software over some others. If you have to, you may
need to create that breakpoint even higher in your ruleset so that you can be
sure to see in what order your map is attempting to fire all of the rules which
could be affecting your conditional check.
Good luck!

Subject: [EDI-L] Softshare Delta 5.0 Mapping Question Source=MS SQL DB, Target=
EDI 860 v4010
All,
I am completely new to Liaison Delta(fka Softshare Delta). I've worked in
Gentran, eVision, and Altova. My question pertains to the conditions and
expressions.
I created a standard 860 EDI map which derives it's data from an MS SQL
database table. I have a condition set on the DTM object which states:
BCH01<>"01". In pseudocode, the logic is basically,"Run the rule to create the
DTM segment so long as BCH01 IS NOT equal to "01". IF BCH01 = "01" skip
creating this segment.
The problem is, the map never creates a DTM segment when BCH01 = "04" which is
exactly when it should. I have checked the table to ensure that there were
values to be placed in the DTM segment and there are. Ostensibly, everything in
the table is in place for a DTM and its elements and the condition on the DTM
is set correctly, as far as I can tell. I modeled it based on information found
on page 311 of the Liaison Delta Reference Manual.
I know a lot of other information is lacking here but I simply cannot upload
the map, models, or paste a screen shot of the rules. Any help, tips, or
direction is appreciated here. Again, I am completely new to Liaison Delta.
Thanks!
Will
