TPEC control number conversion
It is important to note that the TPEC conversion described here does not convert any existing control numbers into the Trading Manager database. The steps provided here describe how to convert those numbers.
It is also important to note that the Control Number Conversion is limited to only X12 Outbound ISA and GS control numbers. The procedure provided here does not convert X12 Inbound control numbers, or any EDIFACT/TRADACOMS control numbers. In addition, this procedure does not convert any ST control numbers.
WARNING: Running these steps more than once will overwrite any existing X12 Outbound Control Numbers.
WARNING: This program initializes all X12 Outbound Trade Links in the database to have a GS Scheme of Increment by Application Partner, which is the default value. All links are set in this way, even if no control numbers are found in the input extract file. Do not use this program if you use a different GS control number scheme
