FAQ

Extreme Translator produces long date format YYYYMMDD instead of short date YYMMDD in ISA segment date element.
Older versions of the Extreme Translator may require a patch if you use function EDIMain:EDI.X12Util:CurrentShortDate to produce current date in short date format in EDI X12 output messages. Current version v1.924 of the translator does not need this patch.
Download Extreme Translator Patch for output of EDI X12 messages
1. Unzip the patch into translator installation "\plugins" subdirectory.
2. Overwrite file EDIMain.dll with copy from the zip file.

What is the difference between Extreme Translator and Cross Translator?
1. Extreme Translator was designed as part of the suite of products that include complete EDI validation, automated processing and various communication protocols. It is not just a translator. However it can be used as stand-alone translator. It was developed to work on Windows platforms since it uses Microsoft .NET ® runtime.
2. Cross Translator has similar mapping tools as Extreme Translator. However it has less wizards and templates and has only basic validation capabilities but it can run on other operating systems like Linux, Unix and others. It was developed using Java ® runtime.

Important: each translator has its own set of features and properties that is why maps and translation setups are not portable from one translator to the other.

How to do the mapping?
After you define both map segments and elements for input and output you can use popup menu in the right tree view. Follow these steps:
1. Click on the item on the left tree view
2. Click on the item on the right tree view
3. Press right button on the mouse to get popup menu
4. Click menu item "Map/Unmap".

Is there any restriction on processed file size for Extreme Translator?
We did not put any clear cut file size restriction, however if you will feed in 300Mbt size file to process it is going to be slow and long process. So for testing purposes in the mapper we recommend to use files that are less than 20Kbt in size. That way you will get fast response during testing and mapping will be rapid. You may also use command line file split utility that comes in the package. It is capable of splitting huge files into a smaller chunks.

I have created simple map for Extreme Translator that appears to translate correctly, but will not perform the database insert. No errors and the data display shows the elements correctly.
There are some rules that might not be clear from the Map Editor but they are mentioned in documentation.
1. At least one field in the map should be marked as PrimaryKey in the table.
2. At least two fields should be mapped into the table.
3. PrimaryKey marked field should be mapped.

I have installed Extreme Translator on a server and want to run it via mapped drive or using UNC name. But whenever I try to run it from the client machine, it fails. It works if I run it via Terminal Server.
The problem is that exe installed on the server is running in a different security zone when running on the network share, a much more restricted one than what it runs under on your desktop.
1. To solve this problem and give it full trust to run programs via Intranet please start command line prompt (cmd.exe) on each client machine.
2. Then run this command in the command prompt:
caspol -m -cg LocalIntranet_Zone -allcode FullTrust
3. It will ask you to confirm it. Type "yes" and press enter.
Now you have given full trust for the .NET based applications on this machine to execute via network on the local Intranet.
