      <Paragraph>You can run the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ec/edi/ecedi0249m000" role="session">Terminate Front-End EDI Processor (ecedi0249m000)</GUIRef> session to terminate communication to
						your translation/communication software. This session creates a file called
						Command.end in the command directory. The existence of this file can be used to
						terminate the translation/communication software.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>To use this semaphore
						mechanism provided by ERP EDI, your translation/communication software must
						create, delete, and check these semaphore files as indicated.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>You will want to avoid
						the unnecessary allocation of CPU resources during the create, delete, and
						check process that occurs before semaphores have been removed. To do so,
						activate (at sequenced and staggered intervals) the interchange controller
						within ERP EDI and the scheduling mechanism within the
						translation/communication software.</Paragraph>
