AS2 setup -- AS2Receive Pipeline

Hi,
We have AS2 set up for communicating with some parties. For receiving the AS2 messages a HTTP receive location is configured, it uses AS2Receive and AS2Send pipeline.
I want to know how does AS2Receive pipeline decrypts the incoming message? How certificates are used to decrypt it? How can I find out which certificate is used for decryption, and where can I get that certificate?
Thanks, Girish R. Patil.

Questions on AS2 setup for eXchange 5.1.3U2

All,
I am having some difficulty setting up the AS2 sample project. We got the X12 sample up and running with not too much trouble. The question I have is regarding AS2 setup on the B2B host configuration. In the B2B repository, you have your configurations. The one I am referencing for this forum in the sample project is named envEaiupgrepoDmnA_AS2. When I look at the transport under envEaiupgrepoDmnA_AS2 which is under B2B repository, the http configuration is shown. After clicking on the http configuration, I see the various properties of the HTTP transport:
· Outbound ToPartner
· Inbound FromPartner
· ACK - Outbound ToPartner
· ACK - Inbound FromPartner
In each of those properties, I see the “End URL” configuration which seems to be a required field in the configuration. The value currently in that field is “Set value.” This would lead me to believe why our AS2 sample project isn’t working. Furthermore, when I look HTTP external system in eDesigner for that specific domain, there is no URL specified in the properties.
Please advise.
Regards,
John Ferron

Andreas,
I have actually resolved a lot of issues since the last post. The last part I have a question on is the setup of the keystore in the environment. Can you go into detail on how you set that up? A colleague initially set this up and I am going back and resolving these issues to get the sample to work. In the Sun B2B Suite AS2 Protocol Manager User's Guide on page 118, the steps they show are not exactly the same what I did in the EPM webapp. For Step 7, I did not have to add a password for the companya_cert certificate.
Could you let me know what you did to get the certificates and encryption for the AS2 sample working? Here is the exception I am currently seeing:

AS2 setup

I am in process to configure AS2 setup. I did configuration in biztalk and trying to work with vendor to test it. During that all messages getting suspended with following reason.
A BTS MIME error was encountered when attempting to encode a message. Error: The Signing Certificate has not been configured for AS2 party. AS2-From: <ourcompany>AS2-To: <TradingPartner>
Note: I am just testing inbound only, with request-response receive port.
I am not able to understnd what exactly it mean or what I am missing .

I understand your concern that though you're just testing your inbound, why are you getting this error.
The reason is you're using Request-Response port, I believe you're using two-way receive port to return a synchronous MDN. In the response part of the 2-way
receive port, at "encoding" stage, component performs MIME processing, including applying a digital signature for MDN (based on AS2 agreement configuration and it is by default config), so it need certificate installed and configured for the
same.
This error could be due to various reasons around certificate installation and configuration.

Outbound Seeburger AS2 setup problem

Hello,
I am trying to setup Seeburger AS2 adapter in the way that I can post documents from our SAP system to the external server that is sitting in the internet. I was following the SAPXI30_AS2Adapter.pdf guide but it is still not working. When I initiate the posting in SAP it goes correctly to XI, XI correctly process the IDOC and maps it to XML document and pass it to AS2 adapter. But here it fails. In adapter monitoring I can see this error message:
Description: AS2 Adapter failure
Details: Outbound configuration error: Sender configuration incomplete - perhaps AS2ID missing..[8/31/06 9:23 AM]
ConnectionId: null-allianceTestingServer_Party >> PartnerAddressId: allianceTestingServer_Party >> Transferred: 0/0 >> Error type: pre plugin call failed >> Error date: 1157030604769 >> Description: [8/31/06 9:23 AM]
2006/08/31 - 09:28:28:40
Retryable fault in 'Channel:allianceTestingServer_AS2_outbound'.
I think I've setup everything correctly so no idea where can be the problem. It is saying that I probably do not have AS2ID setup but it is either not true or I do not know how to do it.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.
Martin
Solved on my own:
I really didn't have sender configuration completed. I've created new Party, configured it as AS2, created AS2ID for it etc. and then forced it as a sender in the Receiver Agreement.

Hi Anoop!
Yes, we use it on receiver side.
ModuleProcessorExitbean exists, so it should be ok.
What I'm not sure about is the thing with identifiers..
In Party (let's call it X) - Identifiers, we have default agency http://sap.com/xi/XI, scheme XIParty and name X.
What values should be there for Seeburger?
We have Agency: Seeburger, Scheme: AS2ID; Name: X.
Is it correct?
We also received some 9 char long number - probably some ID to adapter(?). Any idea, if it is necessary and where to use it?
Is it necessary to configure identifier seeburger also in Identifiers tab of Receiver communication channel? Or we can leave it empty (both- sender, receiver)?
We use this in B2B scenario, of course: Target system is party, but we use our R/3 as Business System w/o party. Is it ok, or do we laso have to "be" as Party in our configuration scenario?
A lot of questions, but points will be awarded 4 sure
Thanx!
Peter

Missing file name while receiving AS2 MDN acknowledgement

We are using BizTalk 2010.
We send one AS2 package to our TP and our TP send us back 4 Acknowledgement files.
Most of the acknowledgement files that we receive from the TP contains the ReceivedFileName property which contains the file name, except for the 1st acknowledgement or the MDN, which doesnt contain the file name.
Our TP has informed us that they do send us the MDN with a file name.
In our BizTalk 2010 system :
- We have a One-way receive port, which monitors all the content received from TP.
- We have defined a CustomPipeline for all inbound AS2 packages (AS2Receive pipeline). In this custom pipeline, in the Execute method, I had looked at all the properties from the base message context. I was not able to find ReceivedFileName, PreservedFileName,
AS2PayloadContentType properties. I also looked at the InBoundHttpHeaders and couldnt find the file name in there.
I heard that BizTalk 2010 has fixed this issue. Where can I find what was fixed? I had looked at the following links, but it didnt help:
http://geekswithblogs.net/VishnuTiwariBlog/archive/2010/10/14/as2-integration-between-seeburger-bis-6.0-and-biztalk-server-2009.aspx
http://www.postseek.com/meta/60dd56c855adc621edd20d64f0b106d5
Is there any other place, I could look for the file name?
And what could be reason that, the system is able to retain the file name for all the other acknowledgement, but for Ack1/MDN?
Or is there a way to look at the raw content with the header send by my TP? (tried using Fiddler / Wireshark)
Or is there a way to prove, that I indeed not receive any file name?
Thanks for your help.
Thanks and Regards, Vikram

Hi VNSuvarna,
>>I heard that BizTalk 2010 has fixed this issue. Where can I find what was fixed?
Here are a series of cumulative update package 6 for BizTalk Server 2010, please check which is available for you. Check out https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2855367?wa=wsignin1.0 for further information.
>> Or is there a way to look at the raw content with the header send by my TP? (tried using Fiddler / Wireshark)
You can also use Fiddler, it captures HTTP(S) traffic and logs it for the user to review.

AS2 decryption error on file sizes greater than 5MB.

We have a client who is not using biztalk but transmitting files to us via AS2. The AS2 file transmission occurs seamlessly when the file size is below 5MB, but Biztalk AS2 decoder fails to decrypt when file size exceeds 5MB. After searching the forums,
I learned that this is a known issue and there is a hot fix available to fix that issue. I wanted to replicate the same issue in my test environment so that i can apply the hot fix in that environment and make sure nothing breaks. I replicated the AS2
setup in 2 biztalk test machines . I used one machine as partner A and the other as partner B, then transmitted AS2 files from partner A to partner B. I sent files with sizes 2MB, 5MB, 15MB, and 50MB, but partner B received all the decrypted files successfully.
Production servers and test servers have biztalk 2010 installed.
In conclusion, the decryption issue is occurring in production machine only, and I am unable to replicate that issue in our test servers. I am scared to apply the hot fix or CU5 directly in production. Please advise if there is something else i am missing.
Thank you.

For some people CU5 fixed the issue.
Dilip Bandi

First, make sure CU5 wasn't unintentionally applied by Windows Update to your test config.
Second, either way, a valid strategy would be to apply CU5 as a normal patch, meaning DEV->TEST->UAT->PROD (or whatever your promotion path is). That way, you'll test for any breaking changes anyway and if the AS/2 issues isn't fixed, well,
you really no worse off.

AS2 error The FILE send adapter cannot open file

I have AS2 setup under biztalk. I have receive port which listen to HTTP adapter and keep listening on web site.Then there is corresponding send port which just write that file in folder . Send port just have filter for Receive adapter name.
It works fine, but some time I get error message
The FILE send adapter cannot open file <folder name\guid.txt > for writing.
Details: The system cannot find the path specified.
I am not able to understand what is error for this? Please help me to figure-out this.

Specifying the Backup transport is not going to solve the problem. Specifying the backup transport in this case is something like addressing the symptom of the issue and not finding the solution to root cause of the issue.
As you specified, if the mentioned error only happens some time but not always. In this case, the message "The
FILE send adapter cannot open file <folder name\guid.txt > for writing." would just be a warning message. Just by setting the retry in the send port will solve the issue. i..e Since this issue occurs rarely, it may be short lived glitch.
So by setting the retry count (lets say 3 times) with retry interval (let say 5 mins), this issue can be easily mitigated. You would not lose the message. So during the glitch you would get this message as warning, send port will retry "after specified
retry interval so after 5 mins", so by that time chances of files transfer is high. So this problem can be easily handled just by having retry count and retry interval in send port.
But you need to find the actual cause for this issue or you need to find the permanent resolution for this issue.

Hi,
It maybe windows firewall issue. you can try create a Windows Firewall exception if
Windows Firewall is running on your server. And please refer the blog about 500 error in iis which might helpful:

AS2 connectivity issue

Hi,
I am facing an issue with connecting through AS2 server to PI server. Below is the scenario:
We receive different types of files from customer (EDI and Non EDI). We have maintained one configuration scenario (CS) for EDI and another one for non EDI. But there is only one Party. Two communication channels, one for EDI transactions and one for non EDI transactions.
I have configured the AS2 setup for EDI transaction and tested. It worked fine. Then I set up the AS2 configuration for Non EDI transaction. (basically two communication channels polling the same AS2 server). When I tested the setup using the stand alone tool i am getting the error as HTTP protocol error. 403 Forbidden.
It works fine if I set up the configuration for only one communication channel. Not working with both the configuration at the same time.
Is it because of two different configuration scenarios (two communincation channels) and same Party? Is there any configuration I need to set up for this scenario?
Please help.
Regards,
Vas

The only option seems to be saving the file at some location and then pick them from there for differnt scenarios. If you go with this approach, you can use single communication channel towards AS2 sender partner. You may agree upon a message subject or AS2 Filename with your EDI partner and then based on Subject or Filename value, place the file in different directories or with different names. For this you may use Dynamic Configuration as I have explained here:

Write to the database from a BI Publisher report

I have a requirement to setup a BI Publisher report that writes a snapshot of data to a database table whenever the report is run.
Putting aside whether doing this is a good idea or not (I'd prefer not to do it for security reasons) if I were to do it in SQL server (that i'm more familiar with) I'd write a stored procedure that does this and enter "exec storedprocedurename" as the report query.
From searching through this board I see that I'm supposed to use a pipelined function instead of a stored procedure but I'm unclear if once I have setup the pipelined function that I'll be able to achieve my objective of both returning the data to the report as well as writing it to a snapshot table, is this possible? If so then I have some questions as I don't really understand the syntax with my limited pl/sql knowledge.
create type numset_t as table of number; --where does this go, it doesn't appear to be part of the function?
create function f1(x number) return numset_t pipelined is
begin
for i in 1..x loop
pipe row(i);
end loop; -- do I need to do a looP? i just want to do select *...
return;
end;
select * from table(f1(3)); -- again this appears to be outside the function, where does it go?
Thanks
Bruce

Jorge:
I was looking into something similar some time ago. The suggested solution may or may not work for you, depending on what it is you want to write to the tables. I was trying to write audit information - who ran what report when. Through BI Publisher template variables I could get the who and the when, but not what report was being run, so the report trigger option wasn't of any use to me.
In the end, I opted to change the attributes of the report so that the "show controls" checkbox is unchecked and make users run all reports through BI Publisher Scheduler. It turns out that reports run via the scheduler have all of that data saved off and you can see it from the Schedules/History display.
Good luck,
Gaff

B2B-51125: No certificate to sign

I have created a keystore with private certificate, imported the TP certificate and did the AS2 setup in Oracle B2B. While trying to sent a document over AS2 to the TP, I am getting below error.
B2B-51125: No certificate to sign
Can someone please give some ideas on why would I get this error and how to resolve this.
Here is the log message.

The below document lists the error codes and messages.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15586_01/core.1111/e10113/chapter_b2b_messages.htm
It says that the reason for Error code B2B-51125 is that a certificate to sign the message is not available in the keystore.
B2B-51125: No certificate to sign
Cause: Certificate used to sign the message was not available in the keystore.
Action: Check if the certificate is available in the keystore.
I have listed the certificates in the keystore and the private key that is used to sign the message it available. It also shows up in the security tab of the TP AS2 Channel setup.

Tee nodes with custom MFTs as outputs

Hi guys,
Hopefully you have an idea on what I am observing. To give you guys a background on my application. I originally setup a pipeline that would take
some user video editing requests and applies them to the frames. For example, users want to chop the video into shorter pieces and apply color conversion, Resizing, frame rate change and other desired action. This is done by selecting time markers and set
of transformations known by my API. To achieve this I wrote a custom MFT node and added it in my pipeline. There were some limitations that were needed to be resolved for future releases. There is a need to perform several requests with overlapping time frames
with different transformations for each request. For example one segment needs to be turned into grayscale while the others retain their color. This is just an example. Other requirement was to write each segment to a different file, rather than writing all
of them to one file. 10 video segments would result in 10 output files, rather than 10 transformations to 1 file. Technically 1 sink per request.
I looked into the possibility of using Tee nodes. I added a tee node between the decoder and the custom MFT . Then I proceeded to create multiple
instances of my custom MFTs. Each custom MFT was therefore connected to a media sink. With this I could perform different conversions and create multiple output files at the same time.
One responsibility of each custom MFT is to inspect the input sample and make sure that sample is in the time frame the user requested.
Therefore there is a need to discard a sample if it does not fall into the desired time frame. To discard samples, the ProcessOutput will return MF_E_TRANSFORM_NEED_MORE_INPUT.
Issue I see is that I receive an MFERROR with the hresult E_OUTOFMEMORY.
So...
1) How does the session handle multiple requests from the tee node branches, such as multiple MF_E_TRANSFORM_NEED_MORE_INPUT or multiple MEStreamSinkRequestSample?
2) Are the samples getting queued up?
I think the samples are getting queued, therefore the process is running out of memory. Are
Tee nodes supposed to be used with Media Sinks or should the location of the tee node in the pipeline be irrelevant?
Sorry if the problem is complicated and unclear.

The strange thing I am finding is - when I override hashcode() and equals() in MyTreeNode, it expands partially ie. only the first level expands. 2nd and greater levels of nesting do not expand.
Another thing I find is - I have a user object for MyTreeNode viz. VisualNode.
When I register a tree expansion listener:
tree.addTreeExpansionListener(new TreeExpansionListener() {
      public void treeExpanded(TreeExpansionEvent evt) {
      TreePath tp = evt.getPath();
        System.out.println("Expansion event, path " + tp);
      public void treeCollapsed(TreeExpansionEvent evt) {
      TreePath tp = evt.getPath();
        System.out.println("Collapse event, path " + tp );
}); It prints out the user object???
Expansion event, path [VisualNode@a, VisualNode@a] VisualNode@aI wonder why it partially expands the tree, and only at the first level.

AS2 Proxy Authentication Setup on 11GPS2

Hi all,
I am experiencing problems with outbound AS2 traffic. All of our outbound traffic must go through a corporate proxy setup using authentication. I have tried specifying use proxy and starting the managed server with the proxy information. No matter my configuration I get a http 407 error. I have tried starting my server using various combinations of the properties below in my server start arguements. But it seems like B2B only reads the proxy host and port ignoring the user credentials. Is it possible to use a proxy that requires authentication? The thing is if I logon the server (oracle linux) and manually authenticate using the browser, my as2 traffic will be successful until the browser times out. The proxy uses IWA authentication. Are there any other configurations needed to make this setup possible?
-Dhttp.proxySet=true
-Dhttp.proxyHost=proxysg
-Dhttp.proxyPort=8080
-Dhttp.proxyUser=+user+
-Dhttp.proxyPassword=*****
-Dhttp.proxyRealm=+realm+
-Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=localhost|localhost.localdomain|127.0.0.1|10.2.*

The proxy uses IWA authenticationThis is the problem I think. As far as I know, to use IWA authentication, you have to configure Identity Management. Please raise a case with Oracle Support and they should guide you correctly to the root cause and possible solutions.

AS2 communication setup

Hi,
We are using AS2 adapter to communicate with the customer. In QA system, in order not to send the files to customer, we have stopped the receiver communication channel manually. We have tested our scenarios by checking the payload of the data. (we could have used the file adapter for testing purpose, we did the same in DEV environment).
All the messages are failed in receiver communication channel with the error "Communication channel is currently stopped".
If we start the AS2 communication channel, will all the message transfer to our customer? If so, how can I delete those entries, as we don't want to send those data to customer. I have canceled the messages in message monitoring.
Please help.
Regards,
Vasantha

Got it.. deleted the message in RWB!!!
