AS1, AS2, AS3 - Tasks - AS2 - Destination (Enterprise only)
An AS2 destination is a reference to an AS2 host which defines a single
ruleset for sending a file as an EDI data message to a partner and requesting an
MDN to confirm receipt of the file.
Partner credentials, encryption method and other "partnership-level" details
are configured at the Host level; see "AS1, AS2 and AS3 - Hosts - AS2" for more information.
For asynchronous HTTP(S) MDN requests, you must have an incoming DMZ host already defined. For asynchronous email MDN requests, you must have an AS1 host already defined
AS2 Destination Options:
- Use Original File Name(s) - Indicates whether or not MOVEit Central should send the file
with the name under which it was saved on the source. If this option is
not checked, MOVEit Central will use the name defined in the Filename field.
This name may contain Macros.
- Request MDN - When this option is checked, MOVEit Central will
request an MDN from the destination partner to verify that the data arrived,
and will not consider the task complete until it has received one.
- Request Signed MDN - When this option is checked, MOVEit Central
will request that the MDN sent by the destination partner be signed by the
partner's SSL certificate, to verify the origin of the MDN message.
- Use Partner Encryption Certificate for Signature Validation -
When this option is checked, MOVEit Central will use the Partner Certificate
configured in the referenced AS1 host to validate the signature on the
MDN received from the partner. If this option is not checked, a different
SSL certificate may be configured for signature validation in the
Validation Certificate field.
- Request Asynchronous MDN - When this option is checked, MOVEit Central
will request that the MDN be sent after the file transfer connection has been closed,
instead of at the end of the file transfer before the connection closes. An
asynchronous MDN can be sent either to an HTTP server, or by email. If this option
is not checked, a synchronous MDN will be requested.
- Request Email MDN - When this option is checked, MOVEit Central will
request that the MDN be sent via email to the email address indicated by the
MDN Email Address field.
- MDN URL - The URL to which HTTP MDNs should be sent by the destination partner.
For synchronous MDN requests, this value (while required by the AS2
specification) is typically ignored since the MDN is sent in response to the file transfer
via the same connection. For asynchronous HTTP(S) MDN requests, however, this value is necessary
in order to tell the destination partner where to send the MDN. By default, this is set
to the "[AS2ReceiverURL]" macro, which represents a properly formatted URL
based on the linked MOVEit DMZ host of the referenced AS2 host. Note that this field will
not be available if the Request Asynchronous MDN and Request Email MDN options are checked.
- MDN Email Address - The email address to which the destination partner should send MDNs.
By default, this is set to the
"[AS1OrgEmail]" macro, which represents the My Organization - Email
Address field value of the AS1 host configured in the referenced AS2 host. Note that
this field will only be available if the Request Asynchronous MDN and Request Email
MDN options are checked.
