Generating an inverse AS4 exchange profile configuration

In AS4 Microservice, you can generate the inverse configuration of an inbound AS4 exchange profile to send to your trading partner. Your trading partner can use the generated configuration in the received file to create a corresponding outbound AS4 exchange profile.

1. Log in to AS4 Microservice. You must have exchange profile read permissions to generate an inverse profile configuration.
2. Click Exchanges > Exchange Profiles.
3. On the Exchange Profiles page, click the AS4 inbound exchange profile for which you want to generate an inverse configuration profile.
   Important: Only deployed AS4 exchange profiles support the generation of inverse profiles.
4. On the detailed view page for that exchange profile, click the Deploy Exchange Profile section and click Generate Inverse.
5. Conditional: If user authorization and authentication with user credentials is enabled for the exchange profile that you are exporting, click Yes to include the user credential in the XML file.
6. Conditional: If multiple users are associated with the exchange profile, select the required user.
7. Save the XML file to the appropriate location.
   The following table provides a list of components for which the inverse are generated when you complete the Generate Inverse task.

   Table 1. Exchange profile components for which the inverse are generated

   Parameter	Configuration of the inbound exchange profile that is generated	Configuration in the generated XML file
   Exchange profile direction	Inbound	Outbound
   Owning organization	AS4 Microservice master organization.	The owner organization role is changed to the trading partner organization role.
   Trading partner organization	Trading partner	The trading partner role is changed to the owner organization role.
   Receiver ID	Receiver ID of the owner organization.	The receiver ID is changed to sender ID.
   Sender ID	Sender ID of the trading partner organization.	The sender ID is changed to the receiver ID. If trading partner is anonymous, the value for sender ID is not provided in the exported file.
   Service	The service for which the exchange profile is used.	The service remains the same.
   Agreement URI	The mutually (between the owner organization and the trading partner) agreed on location where the p-mode and other message exchange-related information is uploaded or posted.	The agreement URI remains the same.

   AS4 receiver information	The AS4 receiver information includes the AS4 service URI and the host server port information. For example, if the port number of the HTTP or HTTPS server that you have associated with the AS4 receiver is 63000, and the URI of the AS4 receiver is /test-uri, then the URL of the AS4 receiver that is exported is, http://hostname:63000/test-uri. Note: The host name can be replaced with the IP address. Also, the IP address or the port can be of a proxy server or an external load balancer.	The HTTP or HTTPS server information is used as the HTTP or HTTPS destination information.

If primary and secondary certificates are associated with the certificate alias, both the certificates are exported. If Inbound exchanges require signed messages is enabled in the conformance policy that is associated with the inbound exchange profile, the setting is applied to the outbound exchanges. A corresponding setting must be configured in the conformance policy of the trading partner. If Enable user authentication checking is enabled in the conformance policy that is associated with the inbound exchange profile, the same setting is applied to the outbound exchange profile. The user credentials that are associated with the conformance policy are also exported. If multiple users are associated with the exchange profile, a single, selected credential is exported.
   Conformance policy - Reception awareness settings	The reception awareness settings of the conformance policy	If Require receipt is enabled in the conformance policy, the same setting is applied to the outbound exchange profile. Receipts are sent to the corresponding HTTP or HTTPS server in the exported file.
   Connection settings	User name and password	User name and password credentials are exported.

   Error destination (push)	AS4 receiver	The HTTP or HTTPS server that is associated with the AS4 receiver (of the inbound exchange profile) is used to send ebMS errors.
   Error destination (pull)	AS4 receiver	The HTTP or HTTPS server that is associated with the AS4 receiver (of the inbound exchange profile) is used to send ebMS errors.
