Re: Communicating w/ UPS Worldship

Janell,

I've been asked to evaluate the possibility of using UPS' Worldship
shipping software in our warehouses. The software would communicate via
ODBC with the ERP system running on our iSeries.

I have a client doing this. When we print pick tickets, we print a barcode
on them and insert a record in a file with the shipping information
(address, method, billing data, emails, etc). At the scale Worldship uses
ODBC to retrieve this data. When the packages are processed, they use ODBC
to pass back information on each package in a shipment.

I just put a trigger on that file, and do all my processing based on that
trigger.

One suggestion: put the files used by ODBC for Worldship is a separate
library. It seems ODBC startup time is better with fewer files in the
library list it uses.
