About this task

This section describes how to configure your AS2 profile to use Mailbox. When configuring your AS2 profile using the AS2 wizard, you encounter two fields that you must select to use the mailbox.

To set up an AS2 trading partner to use Mailbox:

Procedure

  1. From the Trading Partner menu, select AS2.
  2. Start the AS2 wizard one of two ways:
    • In the Create section, click Go! to create a new trading profile.
    • To edit an existing trading profile, click Go! in the List section and click Edit on the Profile.
  3. In the New Identity: AS2 Configuration Type: Identification page, select Store Messages in Mailbox.
  4. In the AS2 Configuration Type Mailbox page, select one of the following options:
    • Use default Inbound/Outbound Mailboxes. Creates two mailboxes with the format AS2/Name/Inbound and AS2/Name/Outbound, where Name is the name given to the trading partner in the AS2 Configuration Type: Identification page.
    • Select Existing Parent Mailbox. Enables you to select a parent mailbox where the mailbox you are creating will be embedded. If you do not want to embed the mailbox, select the slash (/). This creates two mailboxes with the format Parent Mailbox/Inbound and Parent Mailbox/Outbound, where Parent Mailbox is the mailbox you select to embed the mailbox you are creating.

    All failed messages are placed in the /DeadLetter mailbox.
