Seeburger AS2 Adapter scenario

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

I am not sure if I am correct about seeburger AS2 adapter.

It is a B2B scenario and I need to send a file to a vendor. As I have read I need to configure 2 adapters

Lets say we have

1. AS2 - receiver type

2. File - sender type

The flow will be:

File adapter --> AS2 -

---

> Destination party

or

AS2 ---> Destination party

File -

---

> Destination party

Questions-

1. Will this File adapter send the file through AS2 adapter?

2 . Sender agreement will be to a virtual receiver too...

How do you check

1. You will use the AS2 adapter only if the transmission protocol for sending the files will be AS2. Else you can use the normal file adapter

2. Virtual receivers are required only during party communication i.e B2B and also if in the B2B one of the business system in R3 else you dont need to use it.

Thanks, Shabarish.

Sorry, I am still not sure - How does file or payload goes through AS2 using File adapter?

Do I need to configure File adapter to use AS2 protocol?

Any blog or walk through scenario on AS2? I cannot find one...

Do the following:

1) Configure the File sender channel

2) Configure the AS2 receiver channel

3) Configure a Senderagreement with all elements filled (Sender party & service, Receiver party & service, interface & namespace) picking the file sender channel from 1)

4) Configure a Receiveragreement with all elements filled matching those from 3) picking the AS2 receiver channel

-> do a testrun !

1. Will this File adapter send the file through AS2 adapter?

No. If the client expects the message in AS2 format, then use AS2 channel separately. File adapter will be used to send the file to PI and AS2 channel will take file from PI to your partner.

2 . Sender agreement will be to a virtual receiver too...

Not required in your case.

Do I need to configure File adapter to use AS2 protocol?

There is no such option and it is not required also.

Sanju,

Are you facing the same problem? Let me know if you can find a blog.

I am following the same sequence. How do I configure the file name of the payload in AS2?

[Former Member]

I believe you can only set the filename of the payload using the File adapter, but not AS2.

[Former Member]

You can do this using adapter specific attributes, check the AS2 manual where you can find the "dynamic attributes" chapter.

The dynamic attribute (adapter specific attribute) can be set either using the AttribMapper module (SEEBURGER) or a message mapping or even a bic mapping.

Hi,

Check this blog for getting same filename from sender to receiver side../people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/10/xi-the-same-filename-from-a-sender-to-a-receiver-file-adapter--sp14

only change could be at receiver side u will be using AS2 adapter.

Thanks

Hamja
