AS2ProfileMgr Class

Properties   Methods   Events   Config Settings   Errors  

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

Syntax

class ipworksedi.AS2ProfileMgr

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

To use the AS2ProfileMgr you should first set data_dir 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 save_profile, alternatively you could retrieve previously saved settings using load_profile.

When a new trading partner profile is saved a sub-directory named after the trading partner is created within data_dir and the file partner.cfg is saved in it. If create_dir_struct 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.

get_property Method

Gets the property propName .

Syntax

def get_property(prop_name: str) -> str: ...

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 classs and thus not exposed as AS2ProfileMgr properties.

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

get_tp_info Method

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

Syntax

def get_tp_info(partner_organization: str) -> str: ...

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.

list_partners Method

Lists trading partners known to the AS2ProfileMgr .

Syntax

def list_partners() -> None: ...

Remarks

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

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

list_properties Method

Lists the properties read from self or partner profile.

Syntax

def list_properties() -> None: ...

Remarks

Invoking ListProperties causes the event on_property to be fired for each property read by load_profile.

load_profile Method

Loads the profile of the trading partner identified by partnerOrganization .

Syntax

def load_profile(partner_organization: str) -> None: ...

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 data_dir. 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 classs.

Partner Settings

• organization
• url
• option_sign
• option_encrypt
• option_compress
• require_sign
• require_encrypt
• request_mdn
• request_mdn_signed

class AS2ProfileMgrPartnerEventParams(object):
  @property
  def partner_identifier() -> str: ...

  @property
  def partner_url() -> str: ...

# In class AS2ProfileMgr:
@property
def on_partner() -> Callable[[AS2ProfileMgrPartnerEventParams], None]: ...
@on_partner.setter
def on_partner(event_hook: Callable[[AS2ProfileMgrPartnerEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

on_partner_directory Event

Fired before accessing partner.cfg of a trading partner.

Syntax

class AS2ProfileMgrPartnerDirectoryEventParams(object):
  @property
  def name() -> str: ...

  @property
  def directory() -> str: ...
  @directory.setter
  def directory(value) -> None: ...

# In class AS2ProfileMgr:
@property

@on_partner_directory.setter
def on_partner_directory(event_hook: Callable[[AS2ProfileMgrPartnerDirectoryEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

This event is fired every time partner.cfg needs to be accessed i.e when load_profile or get_tp_info 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 list_partners is invoked.

on_property Event

Fired when ListProperties is invoked.

Syntax

class AS2ProfileMgrPropertyEventParams(object):
  @property
  def prop_name() -> str: ...

  @property
  def prop_value() -> str: ...

# In class AS2ProfileMgr:
@property
def on_property() -> Callable[[AS2ProfileMgrPropertyEventParams], None]: ...
@on_property.setter
def on_property(event_hook: Callable[[AS2ProfileMgrPropertyEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

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

AS2ProfileMgr Config Settings

The class 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 class, access to these internal properties is provided through the config method.
