Hi kabitha,

Now a days companys are facing difficulties in exchanging datas with their vendors/customers/partners, due to the high volume and security issue.

To solve all these EDI came into picture, data transfer using EDI is very fast.EDI uses two methods to transfer datas

1)VAN

2)point to point

VAN is very fast, at high level it acts as a mail server.

it splits the messages and send the datas to different rcvrs.

But the problem with VAN is its very costly.

In point to Point u have to configure a diret dial-in connection to each receiver.So it is time cosuming although cost effective.And also issue is there with availibily and reliablility.

To solve the problem associated with the above two method of EDI, a new method is invented called AS1(Apllicability Statement 1) and AS2(Apllicability Statement 2) developed by EDIINT group(EDI over internet).

It uses SMIME protocol to transfer data

compare to VAN and Point to point of EDI, AS2 hav following advantages

1)No charges for VAN

2)No charges for connecting log distance

3)always available

Hope this explanantion will help u understanding the concept !!

Hi Kabitha,

As Biplab already said there 2 ways to connect to EDI partners: direct and in direct.

VANs (Value Added Networks) is an indirect way to communicate with your EDI partners since no direct connection between you and your trading partner exist. VAN providers charge for their service they provide with their VAN. A VAN is usually the slower way of communication since you generally need to poll your VAN mailbox for new messages.

A direct connection between EDI partners is obviously much faster since the message is received the moment your partner sent the message off.

AS2 is a (secure) http connection that allows to exchanged message signed and encrypted .

The Seeburger VAN adapter allows you to connect via different communication protocols to connect to your VAN and send and receive messages. These days some VANs also allow the connection via AS2.

Hi,

Seeburger EDI Adapter provides an EDI solution on internet via HTTP or AS2 to replace the expensive VAN. It provides some pre-built mappings for IDOC to ANSI X12(810,850,855,856 etc.,) and Idoc to EDIFACT(ORDERS,DESADV,INVOIC etc.,) and has the ability to build your own. These pre-defined mappings transform the IDOC-XML to EDI-XML format.

Hi,

The difference between Seeburger VAN/FTP and AS2 is

For VAN/FTP we need a VAN Setup to Exchange the data between the 2 Business organizations

For AS2 means you need a AS2 server separately both the ends inorder to exchange the data
