It maps to our data format and then we insert it to the mainframe.
We want to see more API support from Transformation Extender. Right now, there is a lack of API support. It has an API that we always use; we use Java to call the Extender, the maps, with the external API. That API is limited. It's not mature. That's where I'm looking for improvements.
Eugenio Santos - PeerSpot reviewer
Serves as reliable middleware enabling efficient document handling and seamless connectivity between different systems
The main issue for me is that the current product is obsolete, and I need to migrate to Infor 10 for more features. Accessing the interface and monitoring aspects is problematic, and I hope it improves in the new version. Integration with third parties is delicate and can be expensive without involvement from Infor.
