Page Content BizTalk Server AS/2 Integration
Transmitting EDI transactions over the Internet is an increasingly popular alternative to sending and receiving EDI using value-added networks (VANs). Using the Internet for data exchange reduces costs, increases efficiency, and has advantages in terms of redundancy and scalability. To support this growing trend, BizTalk Server 2006 R2 supports EDIINT AS/2 (Applicability Statement 2). AS/2 is a specification that enables transport of business data over the Internet in a safe and reliable manner. BizTalk Server 2006 R2 uses AS/2-defined methods to send, receive, encrypt, decrypt, compress, decompress, sign, and verify signatures between partners using HTTP over the Internet. BizTalk Server helps ensure the security of messages through the use of encryption keys, digital signatures, certificates, and non-repudiation. Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 R2 - EDI and AS/2 perform the following AS/2 processing:
Drummond Group certified solution. Receive EDIINT AS/2 encoded messages over an HTTP/HTTPS transport. Send EDIINT AS/2 encoded messages over an HTTP/HTTPS transport using the HTTP POST operation. Are implemented as a solution supporting multiple payloads, allowing users to send EDI, XML, or other business data securely over the Internet. Return a message disposition notification (MDN) either in the HTTP response message body (known as a synchronous MDN) or via a new HTTP POST operation to a URL for the original sender (know as an asynchronous MDN). Provide the capability to set processing properties for parties engaging in AS/2 document transport. Provide a comprehensive status of AS/2 transmissions through a list of AS/2 messages and their correlated acknowledgments (MDNs). Allow you to access underlying EDI interchanges when sent via AS/2.
