AS2 Transport Type

Before creating the AS2 location, you need to set up your Link partner who is going to receive messages through AS2 Transport.

It is important that the Partner has an AS2 Identification. See the 'Partner Identification' page in the user guide for more details on how to create Identification values.

In short, AS2 (Applicability Statement 2) will create an “envelope” for the message, allowing it to be sent securely. Note that AS2 requires the receiving partner to always be listening for messages that are addressed to it.
