Seeburger AS2 Adapter

Hi,

I configured a scenario such that presently it uses rfc to soap calls. Communication methodology is synchronous. I tested the scenario it is working fine. I am calling the webservice which is outside my company firewall i.e internet. For security purpose can I go for Seeburger AS2 adapter instead of SOAP adapter? Plz guide me in this scenario. Appreciate for your reply.

Thanks,

Hello,

the SEEBURGER solution "Technical EDI Adapter for EDIINT AS2" contains "only" the technical communication adapter AS2.

Beside you may contac the SEEBURGER AG.

It is possible to buy the AS2 Adapter "stand alone".

Hi Malikarjuna,

I will tell you something about Seeburger Adapters in detail, Just see if it helps...

Seeburger EDI Adapter provides an EDI solution on internet via HTTP or AS2 to replace the expensive VAN. It provides some pre-built mappings for IDOC to ANSI X12(810,850,855,856 etc.,) and Idoc to EDIFACT(ORDERS,DESADV,INVOIC etc.,) and has the ability to build your own. These pre-defined mappings transform the IDOC-XML to EDI-XML format.

These transformed EDI-XML messages are then converted to EDI specific format using the Seeburger's BIC(Business Integration Converter)adapter. In addition, Seeburger provides adapters like AS2,FTP(EDI specific) and so on to route these EDI messages to external EDI Partners.

Seeburger EDI Adapter leverages SAP XI's Adapter Framework. This Adapter is used to perform conversion between EDI and XML format. It also provides some canned EDI layouts and the ability to build your own. It is used to transfer the EDI message via HTTP or AS2 protocols.

The most direct way of using the Seeburger adapters is to configure the BIC as a module. There is a software component from seeburger called bicmapper which will allow you to do the following:

1. define or import the inbound message metadefinition in various formats ( edifact, xml,...)

2. using a mapping create an xml variant as the output metadefinition or edifact in the other direction.

3. create a one to one mapping between input en output.

4. export the metadata in xsd or sda format for import in XI

5. generate an SDA which can be deployed in XI and used as a module.

Please go through the following links which clearly explains what you want and it also helps you in understanding the same in depth:
