Creating an AS2 Mailbox

Introduction

If the mailbox that a user is setting up is for a trading partner communicating with AS2, there are some settings that must be entered. The following wiki explains the additional settings that must be entered in a mailbox for an AS2 communications.

Setup

In the main EDI menu, go to: Maintenance Browse/Update Mailbox
Select the appropriate mailbox.
Insert a check mark under "AS2 Mailbox".
Select "Mailbox Variable Settings - 2" AS2 Inbox:  In most cases, this field will be left blank. In cases where the data for the AS2 mailbox needs to be placed elsewhere than the default, the user can enter the proper path here. The EXT field allows the user to specify the file extension to look for in incoming files AS2 Outbox:  In most cases, this field will be left blank. In cases where the data for the AS2 mailbox needs to be taken from elsewhere than the default, the user can enter the proper path here. The EXT field allows the user to specify the file extension to save the outgoing file as.	Note: The incoming and outgoing transactions will be placed in this folder. For outgoing mail, the AS2 host will pick up any files from this folder, and transfer them to the trading partner. Once the file is picked up, it will be removed from this folder. If the AS2 host mentioned that they did not receive a transaction, the outgoing folder should be checked to see if it was empty, or if there are still files waiting to be picked up.
Once complete, return back to the mailbox settings tab and select "Update/Exit".
