EDI Outbound AS2 Send Extraction Business Process

The EDI Outbound AS2 Send Extraction business process is used to extract outbound AS2 translation data to securely exchange data with non-repudiation of receipt over the Internet.

When to Use

The EDI Outbound AS2 Send Extraction business process is used for AS2 data.

What You Must Configure Prior to Using

Prior to using the EDI Outbound Bootstrap business process, you must configure the following:
  • Create a map to translate the outbound EDI data.
    Note: If you are sending XML data, you do not need a map because extraction occurs using the parameter values you configure in the EDI XML Outbound File System adapter.
  • Create an envelope for the type of data you will send (for example, ASC X12 data). See Creating Envelopes to Use with EDI Translation Business Processes for more information.
  • On the document (transaction-level) envelope, provide the name of the map (unless you are sending XML data). See Creating Envelopes to Use with EDI Translation Business Processes for more information.
  • On the envelope, configure the Extraction Options parameter to Determined by Business Process and specify the AS2 business process. See Creating Envelopes to Use with EDI Translation Business Processes for more information.
  • On the envelope, configure the Data Extraction Directory and Data Extraction Filename parameters. See Creating Envelopes to Use with EDI Translation Business Processes for more information.
  • You may need to modify the predefined file system adapter configurations if you want to use a non-default option such as setting up a schedule to perform automatic file extraction. See Predefined EDI Translation File System Adapters for more information.

Outbound Process Flow

The EDI Outbound AS2 Send Extraction business process is initiated as part of the following outbound process flow:
  1. A trading partner submits a document to a URL in Sterling B2B Integrator. The URL is configured to initiate the AS2 Send Extraction business process.
  2. Calls the HTTP Server Send service.
  3. Processes HTTP the requests from trading partners using a Perimeter server.
  4. The business process completes activities and returns a success response to the trading partner to confirm that the request was processed.
  5. The documents are sent using the Perimeter server.
