Fed-Ex ODBC Integration ???

Member Posts: 81
Has anyone integrated the Fed-Ex shipping system into Navision using ODBC connections? We currently have a UPS shipping system that pulls data from the Posted Sales Invoice table and displays it to the UPS shipper in real-time so UPS labels can be printed. The system is lighting fast and with nearly 0% downtime.
We attempted to integrate the Fed-Ex system into Navision using the same approach and the data transfer speed from Navision to the Fed-Ex system were extremely slow. Even at times when there is NO activity on the system. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/smiles/icon_confused.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/smiles/icon_confused.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/smiles/icon_confused.gif" /> We currently have (3) Fed-Ex terminals - (1) Fed-Ex Tracer X software system and (2) Fed_-Ex cafe software systems. The only one connected to Navision is the Fed Ex Tracer X software system. It appears that is system is old ,running on a Win NT 4.0 machine and uses sql statements to query/retrieve the data.
QUESTIONS
1. Anyone else have better results with data retrieval speed in the Fed-Ex Tracer X software system?
2. If you currently have this running, are you using the Cafe or Tracer X software? We were told the cafe did not function in a odbc environment.
3. Any suggestions on improving the speed? Keeping in mind the UPS systems retrieves the same data in under 1 second where as it takes Fed-Ex Tracer X almost 5 seconds. The seconds really mater when you are a HIGH volume shipper as we are.
