We are going to use Arena for PDM, and there is a "Connector" to MAPICS EPDM from Domain Systems for Agile. Arena uses the same technology as Agile to output data, (90% of company is from Agile)so with little work it would be a perfect fit. What is not perfect is the price of this little "Connector". What makes Arena attractive is the relatively cheap price tag compared to Agile. ( Quote from Agile 2 years ago was $475,000.00, Arena is $43,000.00) This "Connector" is $40,00.00 !!!!!!! Are you using Off-line EPDM or going straight to the Live data??? We are thinking of taking the data as it comes from Arena and uploading to the Offline files and then running Off-line load.

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.
