It was interesting to see this week, in the SystemiNetwork news letter that Movex is still alive and kicking. The popular Movex ERP application is from Swedish firm Intentia, but is now known as M3 owned by the ERP giant Lawson Software.
The article mentions “that well over 80% of M3 users are running on the i.”
Movex has been integrated with the EDI translator TrustedLink iSeries (TLI) on many customer sites, and it would be interesting to know if there was anyone out there integrating this with M3? Would be great to hear from you.

In my blog in November of last year I asked, “How reliant is your Company on EDI?” I have 2 further questions for you.
What would happen if you were trying to get month end through and your system just stopped?
What about those time critical orders? What would happen if your EDI system couldn’t process them?
This week, one of our TrustedLink iSeries (TLI) support consultants made the comment that she had come across 6 companies in 1 week who had problems after not regularly running a purge.
If you want to avoid that dreaded IBM message: ‘Maximum numbers of objects reached,’ which is an OS/400 restriction, then devote a little time to setting up the concurrent purge now available in TLi V6.3
Gwyn Madsen posted a blog in November last year promoting additional functionality in the latest version of TrustedLink iSeries (TLi) V6.3.
Improved TLi Data and Object Management
- Run 24/7, 365 days a year without interruption as the purge/archive process can now be executed concurrently with normal TLi operations running.
- Communication Session Retention Settings & IFS Purge inclusion
So there are no excuses; run a purge today to stop problems in the future.

Ever needed to bounce ideas off of someone else who is using TrustedLink iSeries on a regular basis? Did you know that there is a TLi User Group that may be able to help you?

I had an email from iNEWSWire yesterday with the exciting news that IBM has extended the withdrawal date of OS/400 V5R4 to January 07, 2011 .
Here is the full EMEA announcement letter.
TrustedLink iSeries (TLi or EDI400) is compatible with V5R4, since it was released and the current versions of TLi (v6.1.4, v6.2.0, v6.2.1 and v6.3.0) are all QA-ed on this OS/400 version.
If you are on TLi V5 or EDI400 V2 (Premenos), there are upgrade paths to migrate you to TLi V6, so your existing EDI system can be used on the V5R4 as well.
If you are running OS/400 lower than V5R4 you should talk with your IBM representative to arrange for an upgrade.
Learn more about TLi or visit the customer portal for more information.
