AS2ProfileMgr Component

Properties   Methods   Events   Config Settings   Errors  

The AS2ProfileMgr component is used to manage self and trading partner profiles used for AS2 communication.

Syntax

TibeAS2ProfileMgr

Remarks

AS2 communication require management of several configuration settings such as encryption certificate, signing certificate and TLS/SSL certificates. Both for your self and your trading partners.

The AS2ProfileMgr component allows you to manage such settings using simple XML files, furthermore these configuration files can be directly fed to the AS2Sender and AS2Receiver Component as a convenient way to set communication parameters.

To use the AS2ProfileMgr you should first set DataDir to configure the directory that it will use to store the profiles. You can then set the properties to be retained and save them by invoking SaveProfile, alternatively you could retrieve previously saved settings using LoadProfile.

When a new trading partner profile is saved a sub-directory named after the trading partner is created within DataDir and the file partner.cfg is saved in it. If CreateDirStruct is set to true, the following sub-directories are created within the partner directory. These can be helpful in managing other data for the trading partner.

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every component. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the component.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

DeleteProfile Method (AS2ProfileMgr Component)

Deletes the configuration of the specified partner.

Syntax

procedure DeleteProfile(partnerOrganization: String);

Remarks

The profile of the partner identified by partnerIdentifier is deleted. This method also deletes the directory in which the partner profile is stored, consequently deleting file management directories of the partner.

If the partnerOrganization specified is "self", the self profile i.e. me.cfg, is cleared.

GetProperty Method (AS2ProfileMgr Component)

Gets the property propName .

Syntax

function GetProperty(propName: String): String;

Remarks

GetProperty can be used to query any property from "self" or partner profile. It is specially useful in retrieving properties not interpreted by AS2Sender AS2Receiver components and thus not exposed as AS2ProfileMgr properties.

GetProperty returns null if property propName was not read by LoadProfile.

GetTPInfo Method (AS2ProfileMgr Component)

Gets the profile of the specified partner as a XML TPInfo.

Syntax

function GetTPInfo(partnerOrganization: String): String;

Remarks

If the parameter partnerOrganization is "self", GetTPInfo returns a XML string representing the "self" profile otherwise it returns a XML string of partner profile. These strings can be directly fed to AS2Sender and AS2Receiver using the method SetTPInfo.

ListPartners Method (AS2ProfileMgr Component)

Lists trading partners known to the AS2ProfileMgr .

Syntax

procedure ListPartners();

Remarks

Invoking ListPartners causes the event Partner to be fired for each trading partner profile found by the AS2ProfileMgr component.

After this method returns PartnerCount is populated with the number of found partners.

ListProperties Method (AS2ProfileMgr Component)

Lists the properties read from self or partner profile.

Syntax

procedure ListProperties();

Remarks

Invoking ListProperties causes the event Property to be fired for each property read by LoadProfile.

LoadProfile Method (AS2ProfileMgr Component)

Loads the profile of the trading partner identified by partnerOrganization .

Syntax

procedure LoadProfile(partnerOrganization: String);

Remarks

If the partnerOrganization is not "self", the properties of AS2ProfileMgr are read from the XML file partner.cfg. The file is expected to be in a sub-directory within DataDir. The name of the sub-directory is derived from partnerOrganization.

Although all properties are read from the partner profile, the following are interpreted by AS2Sender and AS2Receiver components.

Partner Settings

• Organization
• URL
• OptionSign
• OptionEncrypt
• OptionCompress
• RequireSign
• RequireEncrypt
• RequestMDN
• RequestMDNSigned
• RequestMDNSynchronous
• EncryptionCert
• SigningCert
• SSLCert

If the partnerOrganization specified is "self", the properties of AS2ProfileMgr are read from the XML file me.cfg. The file is expected to be in DataDir.

Although all properties are read from the self profile, the following are interpreted by AS2Sender and AS2Receiver components.

My Settings

• Organization
• URL
• Email
• EncryptionCert
• SigningCert
• SSLCert
• AsyncMDNURL

Note: "self" cannot be the name of a trading partner organization.

Reset Method (AS2ProfileMgr Component)

Resets the state of the control.

Syntax

procedure Reset();

Remarks

Resets all properties. After invoking this method the component may be reused as if it were newly created.

SaveProfile Method (AS2ProfileMgr Component)

Saves the profile of the trading partner identified by partnerOrganization .

Syntax

procedure SaveProfile(partnerOrganization: String);

Remarks

If the partnerOrganization is not "self", the properties of AS2ProfileMgr are saved to the XML file partner.cfg placed in a sub-directory within DataDir. The name of the sub-directory is derived from partnerOrganization. In addition to saving the partner profile, SaveProfile also creates the following directories if CreateDirStruct is set to true.

Although any number of properties may be saved to the partner profile, the following are interpreted by AS2Sender and AS2Receiver components.

Partner Settings

• Organization
• URL
• OptionSign
• OptionEncrypt
• OptionCompress
• RequireSign
• RequireEncrypt
• RequestMDN
• RequestMDNSigned
• RequestMDNSynchronous
• EncryptionCert
• SigningCert
• SSLCert

If the partnerOrganization specified is "self", the properties of AS2ProfileMgr are saved to the XML file me.cfg placed in DataDir.

Although any number of properties may be saved to the self profile, the following are interpreted by AS2Sender and AS2Receiver components.

My Settings

• Organization
• URL
• Email
• EncryptionCert
• SigningCert
• SSLCert
• AsyncMDNURL

Note: "self" cannot be the name of a trading partner organization.

SetProperty Method (AS2ProfileMgr Component)

Sets the property propName to propValue .

Syntax

procedure SetProperty(propName: String; propValue: String);

Remarks

SetProperty can be used to set any property in self or partner profile. It is specially useful in setting properties not interpreted by AS2Sender AS2Receivercomponents and thus not exposed as AS2ProfileMgr properties.

Syntax

type TPartnerDirectoryEvent = procedure (
  Sender: TObject;
  const Name: String;
  var Directory: String
) of Object;

property OnPartnerDirectory: TPartnerDirectoryEvent read FOnPartnerDirectory write FOnPartnerDirectory;

Remarks

This event is fired every time partner.cfg needs to be accessed i.e when LoadProfile or GetTPInfo are invoked with partner name not being "self". The Name provides the partner name and Directory indicates the directory in which partner profile is expected. Setting Directory to a different path will make the component look for partner.cfg in that directory. Note: PartnerDirectory event is not fired when ListPartners is invoked.

Property Event (AS2ProfileMgr Component)

Fired when ListProperties is invoked.

Syntax

type TPropertyEvent = procedure (
  Sender: TObject;
  const propName: String;
  const propValue: String
) of Object;

property OnProperty: TPropertyEvent read FOnProperty write FOnProperty;

Remarks

This event is fired when ListProperties is called. It fires for each property read by LoadProfile. The parameters propName and propValue provide property name and value respectively.

Config Settings (AS2ProfileMgr Component)

The component accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.
