Jon,
About 10-12 years ago we had separate environments and sent EDI between
the environments just as you described.
As I recall it did not require any special software. We use
TrustedLink as our translator and just set up a 'network' which pointed
at the user files in environment #1 and another one for environment #2.
The data would travel just as you needed it to... it never left the
computer like other EDI does.
Sorry - I can't think of the details ..... too long ago. But I don't
think it was complicated.

Subject: [MAPICS-L] Auto generate orders between environments
We run multiple companies as separate environments of XA rel 5.5. Our
German company enters an order from a customer in the "XG" environment
and then turns around and creates a PO in "XG" with our US based company
as the vendor. Then the US entity in turn creates a COM order in "XU"
with the German company as the customer. The German entity primarily
sells items acquired from the US entities. To date this has been done by
someone keying the same information basically 3 times and often it is
the same person. We of course would like to automate this. Does anyone
know of an existing function to support this before I send out a RFQ on
it? I am reluctant to make such a modification when we are looking to
begin the move up to the current release within the next year or so.
Thanks,
Jon Le Roi
