Log Configuration Details

The actual version is 1.1 build 31.


Global

AS2 or EDIINT AS2 is the communication standard used to securely transport all types of business data using the internet rather than over a dedicated network. Using a machnism of message delivery notifications you will always know if your messages arrived at the system of your partner and which state your partners system returned after the receipt.

With mendelson opensource AS2 communications, you can transfer not only EDI documents but also documents in various formats such as X12, UN/EDIFACT, XML, and Microsoft Word. The data is not changed as it is transferred - it arrives in the same format in which it was sent.

mendelson opensource AS2 gives you an easy and fast solution to communicate with your partners based on AS2. It can be used as stand alone modul or integrated in the mendelson business integration.

Architecture

mendelson opensource as2 could send and receive AS2 messages from and to trading partners via HTTP and HTTPS. It supports synchronous MDN and asynchronous MDN.
The internal persistent message queue of the server could be reached via JMS for integration purpose.
There runs an additional poll thread for every partner that polls special directories per partner and sends matching files via JMS to the mendelson opensource as2 server.

Please have a look at the following diagram for an overview of the inluded components of the mendelson opensource as2 package. All these components install out-of-the-box if you are using the installer.
More detailed information is included in the products online help.
