MDN s in AS2 adapter

[Former Member]

Hi team,

can anybody explain difference between asynchronous and synchronous MDN with respect to AS2 adapter?

A synchronous MDN in AS2 is a set up where a MDN is returned immediately , using the same http connection that was used to send the original message.

This set up is preferred when you have relatively smaller files and where there is no bandwidth issues.

An async MDN is a set up where MDN can be returned by the system at their convenience, over a different http connection.

This set up is preferred in case of large files and where there are constraints on bandwidth (low bandwidth internet connection)

Thanks for your quick response Ravi

do we need to do any different settings for asyn and syn MDN s in ID?

I think there should be some [parameter by name MDN Mode , to specify synchronous or asynchronous in the AS2 adapter.

see if the following article provide you some direction.

Yes there are different settings in ID. It is always the sender of AS2 message who configures the MDN setting - so it could be your partner (for AS2 sender scenario) or it could be PI (for AS2 receiver scenario). Therefore at PI, you will configure it only for AS2 receiver scenario (when PI is sending AS2 file to partner).

In channel, you have to selet the MDN Mode filed as sync or async. If it is sync, you don't have to provide any additional information. If it is async, it will ask for additional URL where the receiver system should send MDN. This will be URL of your PI AS2 server. This is same URL which you provide your sender partners to send message to PI.
