Weblog entry #20 for ajt

Last week we went live with a revised EDI process we have with one customer. The original process has been running since I started my job - how to implement it was an interview question - but it's been running on a Windows box. Our IT department wanted to decommission the box so I took the opportunity to port the application from Windows to Linux.

It's still a Perl application but the new one has better logging and configuration. It's been live for a few days and so far it's working perfectly well. It'll be a real shame when it's finally replaced with a vast SAP PI middleware framework, but in the mean time an awful lot of money has flowed through that simple Perl application!
