>Our division is currently switching from a home grown main frame business system to a JDE Oneworld solution. JDE Windows and HTML clients.

>My job is to put into place the JDE internet portion for Part availability, order entry and order status.
>
>This has been an extremely long process. I have found many problems(bugs) with the JDE internet software.

>The database that we are using with JDE is Oracle.

>We find ourselves handcuffed many times with JDE internet problems that we find. We usually end up waiting several weeks until JDE fixes the problem and comes out with another patch. This has happened several times.

>In comparison, I was able to write a few sample inquiry web pages using VFP6 that produced the desired HTML web pages for Part availability and order status. I used VFP6 to take a web request, queried the Oracle table and returned a web page to the user. It took me about 1 day to write 1 inquiry form using VFP6, COM and ASP. It did not look pretty but it worked flawlessly.

>I developed this simple form as a test. It won't be used in production, but compared to the length of time it's taking us to get JDE to fix there internet application problems, and the cost of the JDE software, etc... I think we would have been better off writing our own WEB front end. But our DP department does not make those decisions.

>This is just our experiences with JDE. Perhaps it'll go more smoothly with you.
