AS1 Adapter

Properties   Config Settings  

The AS1 Component adds AS1 send and receive capabilities to BizTalk Server.

Remarks

The AS1 Adapter adds AS1 send and receive capabilities to BizTalk Server. Using a simple application-like design, the adapter allows you to easily incorporate secure EDI (EDI-INT) exchange into your current e-Business process architecture.

Outgoing AS1 Messages

Outgoing AS1 Messages are managed with both a Send adapter for message delivery and a Receive adapter for MDN retrieval. To send an AS1 message, begin by specifying the MyEmail, PartnerEmail, SMTPServer, and Subject properties to specify where the message is sent to and from and the server for delivery. If you have an SSL SMTPServer, you can specify the SMTPSSLStartMode, SMTPSSLAcceptServerCert, and SMTPSSLCert properties for additional server configuration.

The payload of the AS1 message will be the same as the payload of receive message, but you may set the AS1MessageId, EDIFileName, and EDIType properties to further customize the EDI payload sent to your trading partner. You can apply additional security to the message by setting RecipientCert to your trading partner's public key certificate for encryption, SigningCert to your private key certificate for signing, and CompressionFormat if you wish to apply compression to the message for larger transmissions.

The AS1 Send adapter is a two way Solicit-Response adapter, and the resulting message will contain the information you need to match the MDN receipt to the sent message if you wish to do so. The response message will contain AS1MessageId and MDNMICValue properties that contain the adapter-generated MessageId of the sent message and the MIC value calculated over the transmitted payload, respectively.

To retrieve MDN's for your sent messages, set the ReceiveMode property to rMDN to indicate that you wish to process MDN's, and the POPServer, POPUser, and POPPassword properties of the Receive adapter to the POP server where you expect MDN messages to arrive, applying the MessageFilter property if you wish to filter the messages processed. If you have an SSL POPServer, you can specify the POPSSLStartMode, POPSSLAcceptServerCert, and POPSSLCert properties for additional server configuration.

To verify the signatures on incoming MDN receipts, set the SignerCert property to your trading partner's public key.

Messages received by the adapter will be returned with AS1MessageId and MDNMICValue properties containing the MessageId of the message that the receipt is for, and the MIC value calculated by the receiver and reported in the receipt. These properties can then be matched against the properties of the original transmission through a correlation in your orchestration so you can determine which AS1 transmission the response is for. Finally, check the value of the MDNDisposition and MDNSignatureStatus to determine the overall status of the transmission.

Incoming AS1 Messages

To process incoming AS1 transmissions, set the ReceiveMode property to rAS1Message to indicate that you wish to process incoming AS1 messages, and the POPServer, POPUser, and POPPassword properties of the Receive adapter to the POP server where you expect AS1 messages to arrive, applying the MessageFilter property if you wish to filter the messages processed. If you have an SSL POPServer, you can specify the POPSSLStartMode, POPSSLAcceptServerCert, and POPSSLCert properties for additional server configuration.

Incoming messages will be decrypted using the your private key certificate, as specified in the EncryptionCert property, and incoming signatures will be verified using your trading partner's public key, as specified in SignerCert. After the message is successfully processed, the message will be submitted to BizTalk.

If your trading partner requests an MDN receipt, the adapter will attempt to deliver it using the server specified in SMTPServer from the address specified in MyEmail. Again, if you have an SSL SMTPServer, you can specify the SMTPSSLStartMode, SMTPSSLAcceptServerCert, and SMTPSSLCert properties for additional server configuration.

Please refer to the section on adapter configuration for a description of how to configure receive locations and send ports for this adapter.

AS1 Transmitter

Setting the AS1 Adapter Configuration Properties for a Dynamic Send Port

A dynamic send port does not provide any transport configuration options in BizTalk Explorer because it is expected that these properties will be provided with the context properties associated with the message. These properties can be set in a custom pipeline or in an orchestration. To set message configuration properties in an orchestration you can do the following:

• Add a Construct Message shape to your orchestration.
• Configure the Construct Message shape to construct a new message. (for example Message_2)
• Add a Message Assignment shape to the Construct Message shape.
• Add code to the Message Assignment shape to initialize the message that you constructed and to set the appropriate configuration properties for the message.

Configuring the AS1 Send Port with the BizTalk Server Administration Console

To configure the send port by using the BizTalk Server Administration console, use the following procedure:

To configure variables for a AS1 send port:

1. In the BizTalk Server Administration console, create a new send port or double-click an existing send port to modify it. For more information, see How to Create a Send Port. Configure all of the send port options and specify nsoftware.AS1 2022 for the Type option in the Transport section of the General tab.
2. On the General tab, in the Transport section, click the Configure button next to Type.
3. In the nsoftware.AS1 2022 Transport Properties dialog box, use the following properties to:

AS1MessageId Property (AS1 Adapter)

The Id of the message.

Data Type

String

Default Value

"@%MessageId%"

Remarks

The Id format is as in RFC 2822: id-left@id-right. This will be the Id assigned to the AS1 message.

In the Send Adapter, AS1MessageId returns an Id generated by the adapter for each outgoing file.

In the Receive Adapter, AS1MessageId contains the Original-Message-ID reported in the MDN receipt, which identifies the Id of the initial AS1 transmission.

It is recommended that you match these values in your orchestration to ensure that the MDN receipt is matched against the transmission.

The Id format is as in RFC 2822: id-left@id-right .

If you set MessageId to a string of the form "@(id-right)" a unique id-left will be generated. If you set MessageId to an empty string, a new MessageId will be generated with the same id-right.

You may insert the keyword "%MessageId%" anywhere in the value to have the adapter generate and insert a globally unique identifier.

CompressionFormat Property (AS1 Adapter)

The compression format (if any) to use.

Data Type

Enumeration

Possible Values

None (0)
ZLIB (1)

Default Value

0

Remarks

By default, outgoing data will not be compressed. Setting this property will instruct the adapter to compress the outgoing data using the indicated format.

Compression is highly recommended for large messages, as it will reduce network bandwidth and processing time required.

The compression algorithm used is Zlib, as required by RFC 3274 and defined in RFCs 1950 and 1951.

This property is not available in the Receiver.

DeleteMode Property (AS1 Adapter)

Controls if and when the remote messages are deleted after processing.

Data Type

Enumeration

Possible Values

Never (0)
On Success (1)
On Failure (2)
Always (3)

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property informs the adapter as to whether or not it should delete a remote message from the server after a successful download. The possible values and their meanings are as follows:

Note: the default value is Never for data protection purposes. Unless modified this will result in the adapter continuously receiving the same data.

This property is not available in the Sender.

EDIFileName Property (AS1 Adapter)

The name to be used in the Content-Disposition MIME header of the outbound request.

Data Type

String

Default Value

"rfc1767.edi"

Remarks

If set, the value specified will be used when creating the outbound request's Content-Disposition MIME header of the EDI payload.

You may use the macro %SourceFileName% to read and use the value of the ReceivedFileName property in the message context (for compatibility with other adapters that set this context property).

EDIType Property (AS1 Adapter)

The MIME type of the data.

Data Type

String

Default Value

"application/edi-x12"

Remarks

This property corresponds to the Content-Type header in the AS1 request. This is often used to determine how the message is processed. Suitable MIME types include "application/edi-x12", "application/edifact", or "application/xml".

EncryptionCert Property (AS1 Adapter)

The digital id to be used for decryption.

Data Type

Certificate

Remarks

This property is used to assign a specific certificate for processing encrypted messages. If MDNSigningCert is not set and a digital signature is required by the incoming AS1 request, EncryptionCert will also be used to generate the digital signature.

This field is used to set a Private Key Certificate.

Private key certificates may be loaded from the registry, from files in PKCS#12 format, or from a PEM file format. If you click on the ellipses, a certificate selection dialog will open. To select a private key from the system registry, select the System Store tab or the User Store tab, and highlight the appropriate registry store. The list of certificates which have private keys will be shown below.

To select a private key certificate from a file in PKCS#12 format, select the PFX Store tab. The browse button can be used to examine the file system for PKCS#12 (.pfx or .p12) certificates. If you wish to examine the certificate, provide the password in the field provided and click on the Open button to examine the file store for certificates present. To load a certificate from PEM files, select the PEM tab. Like the PFX file selection, you can specify the password and click the Open button to examine the certificates in the PEM store, or you may paste any PEM data stored in memory.

Regardless of how you selected the certificate, once you hit the OK button, the adapter will attempt to verify that certificate selection. If successful, the subject of the certificate will be displayed in the property field. If the adapter was not able to verify the selection, a dialog box will appear instead detailing the verification error.

This property is not available in the Sender.

ErrorThreshold Property (AS1 Adapter)

The maximum number of errors before the component shuts down.

Data Type

Integer

Default Value

5

Remarks

This property limits the number of errors that the adapter can incur before it shuts down and stops processing messages.

If set to 0 the adapter will never shutdown.

Note that if the operation completes successfully the current error count will be reset.

This property may be configured on the adapter's static handler property page in the BizTalk Server administration console.

This property is not available in the Sender.

Firewall Property (AS1 Adapter)

A set of properties related to firewall access.

Data Type

Firewall

Remarks

This is a Firewall type property which contains fields describing the firewall through which the adapter will attempt to connect.

LogDirectory Property (AS1 Adapter)

The path to a directory for logging.

Data Type

String

Default Value

""

Remarks

Setting LogDirectory will instruct the adapter to log the details of each transmission to unique files in the specified directory. For each request processed, the adapter will log the original EDI data, the complete text of the outgoing request and the incoming response.

The adapter will write multiple log file for each transmission, with separate extensions for each type of data:

LogDirectory supports several macros that can be used to specify a unique directory path. If the path specified does not already exist, the adapter will attempt to create the directory. The following macros are supported:

The filenames will be chosen automatically by the adapter. Each filename will be the system time, in the format YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS-MMMM, with extensions "-2", "-3", used in case files of those names already exist.

If logs cannot be written an exception will be thrown.

MaxBatchSize Property (AS1 Adapter)

The maximum size, in MB, of the current batch (0 indicates no limit).

Data Type

Integer

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property limits the maximum amount of data the adapter can store before finalizing and processing the current batch to the number of bytes indicated.

Note: the default value, "0" indicates that there is no limit on the size of the batch. This value is not recommended for production environments as it may result in extremely large batches being held in memory before the adapter moves the data to the next stage of processing.

This property may be configured on the adapter's static handler property page in the BizTalk Server administration console.

This property is not available in the Sender.

MaxFileCount Property (AS1 Adapter)

The maximum number of files in the current batch (0 indicates no limit).

Data Type

Integer

Default Value

10

Remarks

This property places a limit on the number of files that can be transmitted in a single batch.

This property may be configured on the adapter's static handler property page in the BizTalk Server administration console.

This property is not available in the Sender.

MaxFileSize Property (AS1 Adapter)

The maximum size, in MB, of a file in the current batch (0 indicates no limit).

Data Type

Integer

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property limits the maximum size of any file in the current transmission batch to the number of bytes indicated.

Note: the default value, "0" indicates that there is no limit on the size of the batch. This value is not recommended for production environments as it may result in extremely large batches being held in memory before the adapter moves the data to the next stage of processing.

This property may be configured on the adapter's static handler property page in the BizTalk Server administration console.

This property is not available in the Sender.

MaxPersistentConnections Property (AS1 Adapter)

The maximum number of simultaneous persistent connections when sending.

Data Type

Integer

Default Value

1

Remarks

This setting specifies the maximum number of simultaneous persistent connections when sending.

The default value is 1, which limits the adapter to using one persistent connection for the adapter at any one time. This means when ConnectionLifetime is set to Persisted the send adapter will first check to see if an existing connection is present before transmitting data. In the case where a connection exists but another instance of the send port is using the connection the adapter will wait for the connection to become free. A value of 1 effectively serializes all communication for the send port through one persistent connection.

By setting a value greater than 1 a pool of persistent connections can be created. This allows multiple simultaneous persistent connections to be used. When the send adapter is active it will check to see if there are any existing connections. In the case where a connection exists but is being used by another instance of the send port it will attempt to create a new persistent connection. If creating a new persistent connection would exceed the limit specified in this setting the adapter will instead wait for a connection to become free. Setting this to a value greater than 1 allows multiple simultaneous connections to be made while still taking advantage of persistent connections to reduce the overhead of re-connecting.

Note: This only applies to the send adapter.

The default value is 1.

This property can only be configured through the adapter's static handler property page in the BizTalk Server administration console.

This property is not available in the Receiver.

MaxThreads Property (AS1 Adapter)

The maximum number of threads that the component may consume.

Data Type

Integer

Default Value

20

Remarks

This property limits the number of concurrent threads that the adapter may consume while completing its work.

This property can only be configured through the adapter's static handler property page in the BizTalk Server administration console.

MaxTransmissionBatchSize Property (AS1 Adapter)

The maximum number of messages that can be sent in a single batch.

Data Type

Integer

Default Value

1

Remarks

This property controls the maximum size of an outbound message batch.

Note: be careful when modifying this property as it directly effects the efficiency of the transmit adapter. Setting MaxTransmissionBatchSize to a low value in an environment that requires transmission of large quantities of data will result in the adapter accumulating several small batches. If TransmitBatchMode is set to Parallel, this will result in the adapter transmitting many small batches at once and can put a heavy load on the processor.

Conversely, if TransmitBatchMode is set to Serial, setting MaxTransmissionBatchSize to a large value may result in long transmission delays as the adapter will wait on existing work to complete before accepting new messages from the BizTalk Message Engine. This is especially true when the adapter is transmitting large data.

This property can only be configured through the adapter's static handler property page in the BizTalk Server administration console.

This property is not available in the Receiver.

MDNDisposition Property (AS1 Adapter)

The Disposition header in the MDN receipt.

Data Type

String

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property is returned in the message context to determine the reported status of the AS1 message delivery. If the message was processed successfully, you should expect a disposition of

automatic-action/MDN-sent-automatically; processed

Other possible, but less likely, successful dispositions include:

manual-action/MDN-sent-automatically; processed manual-action/MDN-sent-manually; processed

MDNMICValue Property (AS1 Adapter)

The Message Integrity Check(s) (one-way hash) of the EDI payload.

Data Type

String

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property will contain the MIC calculated over the EDI payload.

In the Send Adapter, the MDNMICValue is computed using the algorithm expected in the Received-Content-MIC of the signed receipt. This will be the same as the signature algorithm used for signed messages, or SHA1 otherwise.

In the Receive Adapter, the MDNMICValue is calculated using the algorithm used on the incoming message's signature, or SHA-1 if the incoming message is not signed.

The MIC will be base64 encoded and reported with the algorithm name as specified in RFC 3335; e.g., "w7AguNJEmhF/qIjJw6LnnA==, md5".

It is recommended that you match these values in your orchestration to ensure that the MDN contains the correct MIC calculated in the send transmission.
