Seebuger AS2 adapter for XI as sender for multiple messages

Hi all,
Has anyone managed to configure the Seeburger AS2 adapter for XI successfully to process multiple inbound message types.
We have an issue here with inbound messages being received by the AS2 adapter. We currently have it configured for inbound deliveries which is working fine. The issue is that we would now like to send other messages as well. It seems the AS2 adapter only looks at the sender/receiver party combination to determine the correct sender agreement, but does not look at the message type which is a limitation. I have heard mention of a splitter module which can be used to distinguish between different messages and pass them to the correct sender agreement for processing, information on this is thin on the ground to non existent. What is the name of the module? Is it specified in your sender AS2 adapter with parameters? Is it wrapped as an adapter? How do you configure the module to split and pass specific messages etc... Any help on this would be much appreciated.
Thx,
Pete

Hi Rudy,
the Classifier/BIC/Splitter - Solution is mainly designed for EDI-Messages that cannot be handled directly by XI.
IF you use pure XML-messages you should be able to handle it with XI-basic-functionality since this is what XI can handle itself.
Depending on how different your XML-Messages are, the effort will be very small or a little bit bigger.
In the ReceiverDetermination it should be possible for you to check whether certain XML-TAGs are existing or what the content for certain TAGs is BAsed on this information you can route the messages in a correct way.
(Of course you might have to create your own XSD for this containing the important TAGs of each message, so you can setup your Conditions)
Btw. the Seeburger BIC-Adapter can provide also this functionality, but this also needs to be customized)
Greetings
Stefan

AS2 Adapter for PI 7.3

Hi All,
I'm trying to download and install the AS2 + EDI Seeburger adapter for Pi 7.31
I can only see the Gener Adap. 1.8 by Seeb NW701 (SP03) package in SMP that dates back to 2011. I'm not convinced this is the right package. I've download it but I cannot see the AS2 adapter on it. The documentation seem to be quite old too.
The question is simple, Is this the right software of I'm missing something?.... If I'm not missing any software is AS2 part of the EDI adapter?...
Regards, JP

Hi Juan - As a side note - SAP is delivering it's own AS2 adapter as part of B2B add-on.. of course it does require separate licencing.. You can check the release notes @

Dynamic filename in receiver AS2 adapter in B2B Add-on

Hello Experts,
Can you please let me know how we can put dynamic filename in the receiver AS2 adapter for B2B Addon on SAP 7.4.
Thanks
Saurabh

Hi Ryan / Experts,
Let me explain you in more detail.
In the receiver AS2 Communication channel, if I keep the Filename field as blank as shown below, then in the Mendelson inbox folder, a file is generated with the name "ASJAVA_DX5" which is my business component name.
If I fill the filname field for example with "CONTRL", then in the Mendelson inbox folder, a file is generated with the name "CONTRL".
This is my requirement because, suppose i trigger this interface "first time", a file with static name (ASJAVA_DX5/CONTRL ) would be generated in the inbox folder. If I trigger this interface "second time", since the file already exists with same name, it is not overwritten and I cannot check the output of 2nd trigger . Contents are not overwritten.
To solve this problem + as a general requirement, I wish to have this name to be dynamic, atleast with date+timestamp.
Can you please help.

AS2 Adapter

Hi Experts,
I have got a special requirement, can you please suggest is this requirement is possible or not in SAP PI using seeburger AS2 adapter. We have a got probelm in Our GIS System in setting up AS2 profiles for one of our customer. So we thought of using Seeburger AS2 adapter for this requirement.
By using the Seeburger AS2 adapter I have to receive and Post EDI messages. I have to decrypt the Inbound message and need to stage on the PI Server, No need of message mapping and posting to receiver system. We have a process in GIS system to pick the file from PI Server and do the mapping and post the output data to ORD System.
For the outbound transactions like 855 and 856, GIS will generates the EDI 855 and 856 files on PI Server. Seeburger AS2 adapter need to encrypt this messages and send to partner's AS2 server.
Is the above requirement is feasilble in SAP PI using AS2 adapter?
Any other ideas on this is greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Kishore

I have to decrypt the Inbound message and need to stage on the PI Server, No need of message mapping and posting to receiver system.
For inbound cases, you may use PI as the receiver system and use NFS protocol of File adapter to put the file on PI server. If you use decryption certificate at sender, you may perform the decryption very well.
Seeburger AS2 adapter need to encrypt this messages and send to partner's AS2 server.
This can again be done by the encryption certificate shared with the third party using receiver AS2 adapter.
Is the above requirement is feasilble in SAP PI using AS2 adapter?
Yes.

Seeburger inbound/outbound mapping options with AS2 adapter

Hi Gurus,
This is the first time that i am handling Seeburger adapters(AS2 adapter).
We have the following issue.
We are using AS2 adapter from Seeburger for communicating with Partners (inbound/outbound).
For some scenarios, the trading partners either sends us a flat/csv file or expects a flat/csv file from PI.
And for these scenarios, we are using the AS2 adapter (for sender or receiver channel configuration) .
Now, the main issue is that we need to convert the flat file to PI-XML format when we receive a flat file from a trading partner or we need to convert from PI-XML format to flat file format when we are sending file to a trading partner.
Since the AS2 adapter does not have a File Content Conversion (Like we have in the File/FTP adapter) mechanism, we need to rely on MessageTransformBean (under AF Modules) to do the conversion for us. However, since this module cannot handle deep structures (nested structures) what other alternatives can we look out for ?
I know we can also go for BIC Mapper which is shipped from Seeburger for EDI to XML and XML to EDI conversions. However in this project, we just need XML to flat file/CSV or Flat File/CSV to XML conversions and hence we want to abstain from buying a license for BIC mapper.
Please let me know what other options can we try in this case.
Does Seeburger has anything specific to do the conversions from XML to flat file or flat file to XML (and not the whole BIC mapper tool).
Regards, Gaurav.

Does Seeburger has anything specific to do the conversions from XML to flat file or flat file to XML (and not the whole BIC mapper tool).
No. Seeburger doesn't provide any such tool/option.
Please let me know what other options can we try in this case.
As per the detail you have provided, you don't have any standard option left. You have to either develop your own adapter module or you can pass the payload directly to mapping and then perform Java mapping on it. You have option of using Conversion Agent but there must be some license cost for it as well.

How to deal Inhouse files using Seeburger AS2 adapter...!!!

Hi all,
Has anyone managed to configure the Seeburger AS2 adapter for XI successfully to process multiple inbound message types.
We have an issue here with inbound messages being received by the AS2 adapter. We currently have it configured for inbound deliveries(Which deals with EDI files) which is working fine. The issue is that we would now like to send other messages as well. It seems the AS2 adapter only looks at the sender/receiver party combination to determine the correct sender agreement, but does not look at the message type which is a limitation. I have heard mention of a splitter module which can be used to distinguish between different messages and pass them to the correct sender agreement for processing, information on this is thin on the ground to non existent.
I have few custom Inhouse files where i need to recieve through AS2 adapter.
I need to differentiate the messages hitting to my communication channel.
ex:
1st message will be having
HDR PICKS
2nd message will be having
HDR PURCH
so based on the second field which has "PICKS" or "PURCH" , i need to pass the message to run the corresponding map.
How i need to configure to acheive these kind of custom Inhouse files through AS2 adapter??
Do i need to use splitter for these as well?? If yes how i need to use?
Is there any setting we can make at Sender AS2 adapter to differentiate each message??
Waiting for the answers.
Kindly reply if anyone knows.
Thanks&Regards
Seema.

Hi,
i have setup a scenario with edifact (different message types) using as2.
first i had to create a mapping using bic.
edifact_xxxx
in: edifact_service
out: functional acknowledgement.
in the mapping code i adjusted the called mapping, standard it will use see* changed it to e2x* (custom mapping)
in your case using flatfiles maybe you should take a look at the VDA structure, these files are also defined under inhouse.
when you define a input file adapter are you getting a classifier message?
like
<classifier><type>Edifact</type><classifierMappingID>XXXX</classifierMappingID><encoding>US-ASCII</encoding><additionalIdentifier></additionalIdentifier></classifier>

Seeburger AS2 Adapter: Receiving multiple messages

Hi guys,
I'm having some trouble using AS2 Adapter for receiving multiple messages. The problem is really similar to Peter's problem.
Seebuger AS2 adapter for XI as sender for multiple messages
I have it configured for one scenario and it's working fine. The problem is when I'm trying to receive other messages for the same Party but different services. Meaning, I've one Party(example BMW) and several services (BMW_DE, BMW_USA, etc). I'm able to receive messages from service BMW_DE but when configuring BMW_USA I'm getting HTTP 403 Forbidden.
This error may have different reasons:
a) You or your partner has entered an incorrect AS2 ID for one of the involved parties.
b) A valid sender agreement is missing.
c) There are more then one AS2 sender agreements with the same sender AND receiver party.
d) The corresponding inbound channel is set to inactive.
And the problem is that there are two sender agreements. Although the services are different, XI is not able to find the correct sender agreement to be used. After deleting the second second agreement, I'm able to send the respective message....
Can anyone give me a hint on how to solve this problem?

Hi,
this is done by different AS2 subjects. The sender agreement is selected based on this. So create separate AS2 receiver adapters for every message you need and put there different message subjects.
So if you'll have 3 AS2 receiver channels with subjects:
MessageType1_DE
MessageType1_US
the AS2 adapter will work like following:
first it tries to find an exact message subject, if it is found, message is "assigned" to this sender agreement. If no exact message matches the subject, then wildcards are used. (this mechanism is described in the Seeburger AS2 guide).
If you are getting 403 HTTP code, there may be also problem with authentication certificates.
Another problem may be, you don't have configured AS2 receiver channel for current subject.
Does this help you? Or you meant it another way?
Peter

Regarding Seeburger AS2 Adapter

Hi,
Wheni go thru my adapters list i didn't find Seeburger AS2 adapter in the list, but my client wants to use the Seeburger AS2 adapter for their scenario's. What should i do in order use the Seeburger AS2 adapter. Is it a third party adapter? do we need to get any license from SAP to use this adapter. Or is there any equivalent adapter available in XI for seeburger AS2 adapter. Kindly suggest
Regards,
Venkat

Hi,
Yes your understanding is right. Normally for B2B the customer sends data over WAN or through Mailbox and ususally the data is encrypted using digital certificate for security reasons.
For B2B the data is send in EDI format (EDIFACT,TRADACOM,INHOUSE and many more) and the seeburger adapters like AS2,X400,OFTPS are used to convert the EDI format to XML and viceversa..
Thanks and Regards,

AS2 adapter Outbound Message

Hi,
We have recently configured AS2 adapter for a party and started to test. We tried to send an outbound message to the party and found the following status in our seeburger monitor
It says "Initiaion to Backend Pending" with yellow state. Further the status description shows "AS2 Message created. Will try to send it now to partner and wait then for synchrone MDN.".
What should we do now? Is it the job of the receiving party to accept the message or do some thing at their side.
Regards
Krish

Hello all,

Seeburger High Tech Adapter Vs EDI INT AS2 adapter?

I have a couple of questions regarding Seeburger High Tech Adapters and EDI INT AS2 adapter.
1. My client wants to use EDI INT AS2 adapter for transmitting their EDI documents to their trading partner. Can we just buy the EDI INT AS2 adapter? If yes, will this include the other Seeburger modules like
Classifier, BIC, Splitter, and Functional Ack solution, and BIC Mapping Designer?
2. What is the difference in buying the Seeburger High Tech Adapters Vs EDI INT AS2 adapter?
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Karma

You could buy only the AS2 adapter. As per my knowledge, the license changes according to the adapters you buy. If you opt to buy only the AS2 adapter, then it will not include the BIC, Mapping designer etc.

Can SAP XI AS2 Adapter process flat files? Pl. tell me how to configure it

I have a requirement to read and write delimited ASCII flat files using the AS2 adapter in SAP XI. The AS2 adapter should be able to read from delimited ASCII Flat files and also write to delimited ASCII flat files. Kindly let me know how to configure the AS2 adapter so that it can read and write delimited flat files. I badly need to know this configuration for a client requirement which requires file processing by the AS2 adapter in XI 7.0. Thanks in advance

Hi,
Is the requirement is to just read the flat file and process it ? if so, u can use File Adapter provided , ur source system provides u the data in the file format in the some directory

Sender AS2 adapter settings for Asynchronous MDN

Hello,
I need to configure the settings for AS2 sender adapter for Asynchronous MDN.
In order to configure the asynchrounous MDN Settings which parametrs i need to fill in the channel from below
1) Use Proxy
2) Proxy Server
3) Proxy Port
4) Proxy User
5) Proxy Password
6) Proxy Realm
7) Proxy Protocol
8) Server Certificate (Keystore)
9) Private Key for Client Authentication
Thanks
Srinivas

Hi,
The MDN asynchronous mode is for the AS2 receiver adapter and not sender.
If you want to use a proxy server, then only you would need to provide the details that you have mentioned and if you are using encryption, you would need to provide the encryption certificate in the corresponding receiver agreement where the comm channel is used.
Also, for asynchronous MDN, you would need to configure a report channel (AS2 sender adapter with message protocol reports) and sender agreement. You need this even if Refer to XI system option is disabled in the AS2 receiver adapter.

Receiver AS2 Adapter : Empty Message Handling

Hello Experts ,
We are trying to work on following requirement .
File -> PI -> AS2 ( File) ( We are using Pranke to drop our message to the receiver system) (MDN ack too is in place )
There are times when none of the source records are valid and we have an empty payload post mapping.
In AS2 adapter we are using StrictXML2Plain.
Scenario works fine for all target messages which have data and a file is created at the receiver end. MDN ACK works fine too.
Problem is when we have empty target payloads , We get following error in communication Channel monitoring.

Hi,
here is the my requirment one source -> two target interfacess (0..1)
If u have 2 target interfaces,then this is not suffice..... u should make it as 0..unbounded both in operation mapping and message mapping.
But based on ur requirements posted above i guess u have only one inbound interface at a time based on some conditions....
But,
<messages>
<messages1>
based on condition first message type not created in mapping.
<messgaes2>
The error u r getting is because.... u want only one interface in target at a time....
Then u should not generate Message1 also in the target.
So avoid mapping to message1 if u want only message2.
If both message1 and message2 are created in target means... it is triggering for two interfaces.... so avoid one message1 or message2... based on some conditions u have..
Still nt solved do post...
