What is the difference between Extreme Translator and Cross Translator?
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.
It was developed to work on Windows platforms only since it uses Microsoft .NET ® runtime.
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.
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".
How is HIPAA supported?

releases 4010, 5010, 5030, etc.
Is there any restriction on processed file size?
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 a simple map that appears to translate correctly,
but will not perfom 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 program 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.
