Configuring AS4 Microservice integration module

You can enable communications between AS4 Microservice and Sterling B2B Integrator for document processing.

AS4 Microservice integration module

The AS4 Microservice integration module is a collection of adapters and sample business processes that are used to accomplish end-to-end document processing. The integration module adapters provide communications AS4 Microservice and Sterling B2B Integrator, and receive and send messages. The sample business processes that are included with the integration module provide specific processing with the adapters.

Integration module adapters include:

  • MEIG Messaging Config adapter
  • Business Document Receiver adapter
  • Business Document Sender adapter
  • Visibility Event Sender adapter

Integration module sample business processes include:

  • MEIGAS4InboundSample
  • MEIGAS4InboundWithResponseSample
  • MEIGAS4InboundWithReplySample
  • MEIGAS4OutboundSample
  • MEIGAS2InboundSample
  • MEIGAS2OutboundSample

You can use the AS4 Microservice integration module for the following end-to-end tasks:

  • AS4 inbound processing, in which Sterling B2B Integrator receives an incoming payload from AS4 Microservice for processing.
  • AS4 outbound communication, in which Sterling B2B Integrator sends a processed payload to AS4 Microservice to send on to a trading partner.

Other adapters

There are other adapters that are not included in the AS4 Microservice integration module but can be used to send and receive generic messages over the message fabric. These message XML schemas are published with AS4 Microservice:

Message Fabric Receiver adapter
Specifies a message fabric endpoint queue to listen on for messages and a business process to start when messages are received. This adapter cannot be used in a group.
Message Fabric Send adapter
Specifies the server to which to send messages from a business process. This adapter cannot be used in a group.
Storage adapter
Reads and writes payloads to and from AS4 Microservice storage. This adapter can be used in a group.

There are no specific sample business processes for these adapters because they can be used with any message type. To use these adapters, you need to create custom business processes that process the message type. For more information about creating and modifying business processes in Sterling B2B Integrator, see the Business Processes documentation in the IBMSterling B2B Integrator Knowledge Center.
