Sender AS2 adapter expected url path and encoding

[#1]

Dear Experts,

I am a newbie to the PI application. Could you please help me understand expected url path in sender AS2 adapter and as2 url in general.

I know it has to be <path> mentioned in the AS2 url (http://local:port/as2/<path>) from which messages are received to PI.

But my doubt is would trading partner provide us the as2 url?

Or do we have to provide this url to the trading partner with PI host and port details in "local:port" of the url? If yes, then is the value in <path> provided by the trading partner or is it something to we have to configure? and what exactly does the <path> refer to? (Is it a folder path or some server name?)

And for charset conversion in the same as2 sender adapter, would trading partner decide on source and destination encoding algorithm? What is the purpose of having encoding when we have signature and encryption options?

I referred to some blogs like the one's by Dimitri but I am still not clear on these points. Kindly help.

Thanks,

Hi Manoj,

As i am having same issue, can you please clarify on following

- AS2 sender channel, we will use the URL provided by sender right? if so do we need to enable this url in our proxy servers?

-AS2 receiver channel, we will mention URL with SAP PO server http://<host>:<port>/AS2/dev right. if so how about authentication for this URL. if i select basic authentication, how to create user/pwd and what kind of user we have to create.

how about folder path : for sender channel the path will be provided by sender and for receiver channel how to define file name.

Thank you.

Regards,prasanth
