Glossary of Terms

Communication

• FTP (File Transfer Protocol) Support: MegaXML® provides transmission and reception of data using the (FTP) File Transfer Protocol.
• SFTP Support: MegaXML® supports SFTP (SFTP subsystem over SSH Protocol version 2) communication. This allows for secure communication between MegaXML and VAN/Trading partner endpoints running an Secure Shell Server.
• FTPS Support: MegaXML® provides support for FTP over SSL/TLS links (RFC 2228). This allows for secure communication between MegaXML and VAN/Trading partner endpoints running an FTPS server.
• AS1 (Applicability Statement 1): Supports communication of documents over secure mail protocols.
• AS2 (Applicability Statement 2): Supports communication of documents over secure web protocols
• Web Services: Supports retrieving data, posting data to SOAP based Web Services.
• PGP Over FTP: Can encrypt/decrypt PGP encrypted data using symmetric or public key protocols and transfer them over any of the above protocols.
• Communication Queuing Support: MegaXML® operates in real time mode by default. However, we do support inbound and outbound communication queues. This is useful in cases where it's desirable to send outbound documents or process inbound documents in a batch.

File Formats

• XML Support: MegaXML uses XML as its native file format. It also supports tranforming documents to and from XML.
• X12 EDI: Support for the ASC X12 EDI standard.
• EDIFACT: Support for the UN/EDIFACT (United Nations/EDI For Administration, Commerce and Transport) Standard.
• Flat file: Support for documents being sent or received in flat file format.
• CSV: Natively supports reading and writing Comma Separated Value (CSV) files.
  
• Excel Support: MegaXML supports data in Excel format by using our own libraries to convert to and from Excel format.
• EBCDIC Support: EDI data can be transported using flat file and data format conversion between EBCDIC and ASCII.
• HIPAA: Support for HIPAA healthcare transactions.

ERP Integration

• MegaXML can integrate with any ERP system. If a connector (interface) doesn't exist for a given ERP, it can be developed on request.

Translator Features

• IBM Mainframe EDI Translator Replacement: Support for replacing and/or complementing IBM Mainframe based EDI applications.
• Midrange EDI Translator Replacement: The product can replace existing IBM iSeries (AS400) EDI translators. Additionally, it can create and consume file in EBCDIC data for the IBM iSeries (AS400) midrange systems.
• High Speed & High Volume: The application supports processing documents at maximum throughput and minimum turnaround time. Ideal for computationally intensive environments. Such as IBM Mainframe EDI applications.
• Complex data mapping support: The application supports the use of complex data mappings between document types, which includes mathematical computations, text transformations, and business logic integration.
• Partial Order Processing: Support for variety of partial order processing for client business application processes.

Interface

• Rich Desktop Client: The application runs as a native application on the clients' desktop.
• Web Portal: The complete web application is hosted on servers at the Task Performance Group (TPG) Datacenter in Des Plaines, IL USA.
• Enterprise Web Portal MegaExchange MCE: The complete web application can be hosted either on the customers' Datacenter or TPG's Datacenter in Des Plaines, IL USA.
• Secured Web Interface: MegaXML© application is accessible on HTTP over SSL/TLS (HTTPS). Additionally, the application provides across the board authentication and customizable authorization facilities.
• Real-Time Background Processing: Document Processing is triggered by its receipt. As soon as a transaction comes in, it is automatically queued for processing. This considerably reduces the turnaround time for document processing over polling based methods.
• Batch Processing: The translator is scriptable and can be kicked off from a client created batch process.
• Enterprise Application Integration (EAI): The application supports integration of the EDI and XML transactions into the customers' individual supply chain. This is done through the use of customized Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) adapters.
• Thin Client: The application is hosted entirely on the server side, allowing for client machines to be set up with minimal efforts. In most cases, the client machine will just need a HTML 4.01 compatible browser with reasonable CSS support (Microsoft© Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Opera etc.).
  

Miscellaneous Features

• Client Customizable Mapping: This allows customers to create customized documents and plug them into MegaXML®.
• Business Intelligence Reporting: Detailed reporting on transitioning data broken down by user configurable parameters is available. Statistical reporting is also available in graphical format. Reports are exportable in all major formats including HTML, PDF, Plain text, PNG.
• Logging Support: All TPG MegaXML applications support extensive logging of all events happening in the system. The logging is completely configurable to allow event of different criteria (priority, subsystem, text match) to be filtered into different event sinks. For example, the critical events are logged in the Windows Event Log by default, and events requiring immediate administrative attention are emailed to the system administrator.
• email Notifications: The application has support for communication with operators and administrators through email messages. Users are notified via email for inbound EDI arrival.
• Real-Time Event Notification: Applications can be configured to send event notifications to administrators.
• Label Printing Integration: The application supports integration with  Label Printing systems for streamlining the order fulfillment process for the client organization.
• Server Clustering Support: The application is capable of acting in a networked cluster. The cluster works in a master/worker configuration, where the master server accepts incoming translation tasks, partitions them based on the quantity and capabilities of the worker servers.
