RE: ECM implementation.

Kobie,

SSA Run instructions are usually worth a cursory look for starters.  Don't
know how you get to them from Client Server but directly on as/400 locate
the BPCSDOC file on you system (Usually in base objects library) and check
out member SSARUN60.

The ECM Help file on Client Server is pretty crap as I remember.

Generally I consider ECM overengineered and a pain in the butt but that
that's just my opinion. 

I have had it working in the past for Orders and Inventory transactions but
found it a bit tricky to get multiple 'threads' running when throughput was
an issue (mental block on how i did it now - think my mind is protecting me
from the trauma!).  

Also @ 6.004 there was a problem with the Inventory gateway and ECM.  SMG
returned control to ECM to submit another transaction without having really
finished tidying up after itself so next transaction got fired in and was
instantly set to complete in ECM control files when nothing had been done
with it!  Had to add in an extra pgm to adapter list to delay each
transaction by 5secs with delay job!

You have my admiration and sympathy for attempting this.
