Steps to complete after installing the Fix Pack
To complete the Fix Pack installation, complete the steps given in the topic after installing the Fix Pack jar.
Accessing TSL and importing certificates from the TSL list
Trust-service Status List (TSL) is a signed list of Trusted Services Providers (TSP) and their status on a specified policy. The TSL list contains a list of public keys of certification authorities (CA), authorized by the Odette organization.
Automatic exchange of CA signed certificates
You can send and receive CA signed certificates with trading partners.
Certificate rollover
The certificate rollover feature adds extra functionality to Sterling B2B Integrator such as notifications that a certificate is nearing expiration and verification that the Certificate Logical Identification Data (CLID) entries of the certificate that is received from a trading partner match the existing CLID entries.
Odette FTP queue advanced search
You can search for queued transfers and view the status of the transfers by criteria, logical partner contract, or logical partner.
SFNA reason text and reason length
In Odette FTP, the Start File Negative Acknowledge (SFNA) and the Start File Positive Acknowledge (SFPA) commands are returned in response to a Start File Identification (SFID) request. The SFNA command is returned when the recipient system refuses permission to the sender system that is sending a file.
Odette FTP Certificate Logical Identification Data user interface
Sterling B2B Integrator provides the Odette FTP CLID user interface to manage the Certificate Logical Identification Data (CLID) related to a digital certificate. The CLID is shared by a trading partner before exchanging a digital certificate.
Managing revoked certificates
The CA creates a Certificate Revocation List (CRL) and publishes it at specified intervals and location. The URL of the location is available in the CRL distribution point attribute of the certificate. In Sterling B2B Integrator, any automatically exchanged certificate must contain information about CRL distribution point.
CMS file exchange and verification
The OFTP implementation in Sterling B2B Integrator supports sending of Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) files to partners. Sterling B2B Integrator also supports verification and validation of a file that is received through OFTP with the file received offline, without using OFTP. For example, by sending it using an email.
Generating and sending Negative End Response
A Negative End Response (NERP) is generated because a transmission of the file to the final destination failed or a processing of the file at the final destination failed.
OFTP file transfer resume
The OFTP implementation in Sterling B2B Integrator supports the resuming of file transfers for failed transmissions.
Alert email generation for failed file transfers
The OFTP generates alert emails for failed file transmissions and timeouts.
Support for SFIDDESC and SFIDDESCL parameters in the SFID command
The SFIDDESC parameter contains the virtual file name description and SFIDDESCL parameter provides information about the description length. The owner organization and the trading partner must agree on the contents and meaning of data in the SFIDDESC parameter.
Support for separate private key and certificate support for file encryption, file signing, and EERP signing
The OFTP implementation in Sterling B2B Integrator supports the configuration of separate private key and certificate for file encryption, file signing, and End to End Response (EERP) signing.
