BTS EDI Questions

hfdev

Hello,

Are any of you using EDI in BizTalk 2006 R2? If so, can you offer any
insight on how that is going? My company is looking to migrate from a
competitor's product to the EDI integration offered in R2. We are
specifically concerned with X12 and Edifact. We have partners in the
Americas and thoughout Europe.

I see that there is a new book that was just released from Apress on EDI in
BTS R2. I am waiting for it to be delivered. In the meantime, can you offer
any suggestions on resources to get aquainted eith EDI on the BTS R2 platform?

Thanks for your insight,

We have implemented the R2 EDI stack at a customer site. We have been
running the stack since Beta2 in a production environment and for our
purposes it has been VERY stable for the customer.

We have been mainly dealing with 860, 865, 850, 855, and ack docs.

If you have more specsific questions, let me know.

Thanks!

I use R2 EDI quite a bit, it's a major improvement from the 2004 version. I
found it very easy to implement 810, 867, 852, and a few other transactions.

I don't know much about EDIFACT (we always use X12). Regarding X12, I R2
supports versions up to 5030. I'm not sure if all of the the specific
transactions you mention are included, but I do know that they support over
300 transactions for 5030. My guess would be that they do support what you
need, although I can't find the specific documentation for that right now.

I haven't personally dealt with ALL of those documents, however, I have delt
with the majority of them (X12) and they have all worked 100%.

Honestly, I can't speak to the EDIFACT case, but Micorsoft claims that the
new EDI adapter is 100% compliant with the X12 and EDIFACT standards.... you
can draw your own conclusion from that ;-)

Hope this helps... Let me know if you need more specific information.

Thanks!
