The AS2 Client Connector allows you to send data in real-time via the AS2 protocol. AS2 is a common communication choice for EDI and business-to-business (B2B) integrations. Because of this, the AS2 Client Connector will almost always be used within the context of a Trading Partner.
The AS2 Client Connector is not like Web Services or SOAP. It can be used to send generic data (often in EDI or XML, but not necessarily) via AS2.
The AS2 Client Connector is used to send outbound messages to other trading partners. To receive data, use the AS2 Server Connector - Legacy.
Prerequisites
- You must be able to provide your trading partner with a static URL/IP address to connect to. This means the machine on which the Atom is installed or network gateway device must have a static IP address assigned. Work with your network administrator for help with this configuration.
- Because AS2 is a secure protocol, you will need to provide your trading partner with a certificate that they will use to encrypt data when sending to you. You can either import an existing certificate or generate a new one within Boomi. See Certificates for more information on working with Certificates.
