Re: BPCS related Systems Integration Solutions

Yes, we do have the experience on that, we are Domino/Lotus partner also.

The way we would do is to develop a PC application, either on Lotus server or
desktop, via ODBC or IBM MQseries. The key question is what the application you
try to do in inventory. For query, it is the simplest, an ODBC application, i.e,
VB script,  VB, C++, or Lotus Script will do; if it is the transacting program,
then the challenge is not at the frond end but backend dealing with BPCS INV. We
used to call INV500 in the background to do the inventory transaction; for
updating inventory related files, you could do a ODBC or call a AS/400 which
will do the update for you if you can ensure the BPCS integrity. Hope this
helps.

Any experience integrating a Lotus notes application on a PC with BPCS.  I
am trying to determine how the Lotus notes app. can retreive available
inventory from BPCS.  Would also like the Lotus notes app. to call a
program on the 400 to update BPCS data bases.
