        __________________________________________________________


        1.2   New Users

        If you are a new user of DEC/EDI, you should follow the
        installation instructions for the product contained in
        DEC/EDI: Installation Manual. You are also recommended to read
        DEC/EDI: Introduction which gives an overview of DEC/EDI
        describing the main components of the system and explaining
        how the system processes business data.
        __________________________________________________________

        1.3   Existing Users

        If you are an existing user of DEC/EDI, you should follow
        the installation instructions for the product contained in
        DEC/EDI:Installation Manual.

        After the migration to DEC/EDI V4.20 if you need to use the
        existing maps, these must be re-compiled and copied back to
        the server. DEC/EDI V4.20 automatically stores the new
        DEC/EDI version information inside the maps. This is a
        mandatory step before issuing TRADE POST/FETCH commands.

        DEC/EDI for Tru64 Unix, V4.20 supports installation over
        previous Digital Unix versions of the product. Specifically
        it may be installed over:

        o DEC/EDI V3.2B

        o DEC/EDI V4.0

        o DEC/EDI V4.0B


        1.3.1 Migrating from previous versions

              If the previous version of DEC/EDI is lower than V40 or V40,execute the
        migration script decedi_v42_migrate.sh located in /var/adm/decedi in the 
        installed machine, which would make the necessary database changes.

              For Migrationg from DEC/EDI V40B execute the following steps. Kindly
         modify the script to specify the roll back segment before executing the script.
         # su - oracle
         $ sqlplus / nolog
           SQL> connect / as sysdba
           SQL> @/var/adm/decedi/decedi_migrate_ora_v40b_to_v42_db.sql

        1.4   New features/Enhancements

        1.4.1 Overiding "From-address" in PEDI gateway
              ----------------------------------------

          In DEC/EDI V4.20 the sender address of a X400 message is configurable
          for a given partner. The sender address can be configured using
          communication editor of DEC/EDI V4.20 CommandCenter. The PEDI
          gateway connections can now be configured with additional 
          fields in which different originator addresses can be specified. 
          This is an optional feature and can be turned ON or OFF with 
          using the check box provided in the connection details dialog box.

          Follow these steps to make use of this feature:

          1. Start the "communications editor" tool from DEC/EDI V4.20 
             Command center.
          2. Double click on an existing PEDI connection 
             (if no PEDI connections are configured, kindly follow the usual 
             step to create a PEDI connection.)
          3. To make use of this new feature, click on the 
             "Over-ride originator address" check box.
          4. Using the new tabs "Details 5" & "Details 6", specify the 
             O/R address that should over-ride the originator address 
             specified at the gateway level.
	  5. Click OK to save the changes.
          6. To avoid this over-riding, uncheck the 
             "Over-ride originator address" check box
             mentioned in step 3.   

        1.4.2 PEDI Address matching is not case sensitive
              -------------------------------------------
              
              By default address matching in PEDI gateway of DEC/EDI V4.20 is 
              case sensitive.When the environmental variable DECEDI_PEDI_IGNORE_CASE
              is defined the address matching in PEDI gateway is case insensitive.
 
        1.4.3 Generation of CONTRL acknowledgment document
              --------------------------------------------
            In DEC/EDI V40B, by default, CONTRL acknowledgment is
	    generated only when there are errors in the incoming 
            transmission file.

            In DEC/EDI V4.20 CONTRL acknowledgment is generated even
            when the incoming transmission file does not have any errors
            (Positive Acknowledgement).DEC/EDI V4.20 also generates
            CONTRL acknowledgment when the incoming transmission file 
            has some errors(Negative Acknowledgment).Both Positive and 
            Negative Acknowledgement is generated only if 
            CONTRL document is configured. 

            In DEC/EDI V4.20 Positive acknowledgement can be suppressed 
            by defining an environment variable "DECEDI_SUPPRESS_POSTIVE_ACK".

            The environment variable DECEDI_SUPPRESS_POSTIVE_ACK  can be used 
            along with another environmental variable DECEDI_IGNORE_UNB0031.
            If the environmental variable DECEDI_IGNORE_UNB0031 is defined, 
            the outgoing documents would not wait for acknowledgement from the 
            trading partner. 

       1.4.4 Accessing of database by Trade Track minimized
            ------------------------------------------------

            In DEC/EDI V4.20 Trade Track does not access the database when 
            queries are related to live database. Trade Track will only access 
            the memory queues to provide the necessary information. The reduction   
            of database access results in higher performance of Trade Track.
            Trade Track will continue to access the database for queries related 
            to archive database.

              -------------------------------------------
            When message level acknowledgement is enabled for a trading partner 
            profile, the acknowledgements are not generated. 
            Only interchange level acknowledgements are generated. 
            This problem occurs for only for X12 standard.

              ---------------------------------------------------------------
            When a "trade fetch" command is passed a "Tracking Reference" 
            qualifier, all the documents that match the criteria are fetched     
            regardless of Tracking Reference qualifier.
             
        1.6.3  Trade Post of a X12 document (Inhouse) file requires Tracking Reference 
               to be specified 
               -----------------------------------------------------------------

            in the command line. The Post will fail if Tracking Reference is not specified.
