Re: PLM and MAPICS

We are looking a SmartTeam, PDMWorks, and Arena to go with Solidworks, but 
I think in
either case we will continue interfacing as we do with our current PDM 
system.  Which is
very simple, the PDM's API (as available in SmartTeam & Agile, even 
PDMWorks) outputs
a text file of data and calls a FTP script which uploads the data to the 
AS/400 and calls the
CL to run the RPG program that parses the data and plugs it in where 
necessary.

It's very simple and far more efficient that say... BizTalk!

If it were to get complex, or need to be interactive we would still 
develop it ourselves using ASNA's AVR tool.

PLM and MAPICS






Anyone out there using Agile or Arena Product Lifecycle Management and 
interfacing with MAPICS/EPDM?  If so, what are you doing for the 
interface?  Off the shelf , or Custom Solution?

Thanks,
