Overview

You can use this Snap to send/reply to a message to an endpoint server in plain text and HTML format. AS2 messages can be compressed, signed, encrypted, and sent over an SSL tunnel, making AS2 a very secure option for transferring files.

Snap Type

The AS2 Sender Snap is a Write-type Snap that writes AS2 messages to an endpoint server.

Prerequisites

None.

Limitations and Known Issues

None.

Error

Error handling is a generic way to handle errors without losing data or failing the Snap execution. You can handle the errors that the Snap might encounter when running the pipeline by choosing one of the following options from the When errors occur list under the Views tab:

Stop pipeline Execution: Stops the current pipeline execution if the Snap encounters an error.
Discard Error Data and Continue: Ignores the error, discards that record, and continues with the remaining records.
Route Error Data to Error View: Routes the error data to an error view without stopping the Snap execution.

Field Name		Field Type	Description

Field Name		Field Type	Description
Label* Default Value: AS2 Sender Example: AS2 Sender		String	The name for the Snap. You can modify this to be more specific, especially if you have more than one of the same Snap in your pipeline.
Service URL* Default Value: N/A Example: `https://www.example.com/slm/webservice/v2.0/defect/%s".replace("%s", $.widg et.id)`		String/Expression	Specify the service endpoint URL of AS2 REST API. You can provide the URL in one of the following ways: As a JavaScript expression in the expression language. For example: `http://coresnapsqa-v4.s3.us-east 2.amazonaws.com/S3Account/'+encodeURIComponent("Special_char_owner_!3)12.json")` As a plain string that you should enclose in double quotes (""). For example: `"https://www.example.com/slm/webservice/v2.0/defect/%s".replace("%s", $.widg et.id)`
Certificate Default Value: N/A Example: $853764$Certificate of Insurance - 6.cert		String/Expression	Specify the relative path of the X.509 certificate in the SLDB. You can upload the certificate to the SLDB by clicking . An X.509 certificate is a standard format for public key certificates that securely associates cryptographic key pairs with identities such as websites, individuals, or organizations. The X.509 certificate should be in any one of the following formats: cert: The certificate file is a public-key certificate following the x.509 standard. pem: pem file is a container format that may just include the public certificate or the entire certificate chain (private Key, public Key, root certificates): crt: The certificates may be encoded as binary DER or ASCII PEM.
Encrypt Algorithm* Default Value: 3des Example: AES_256		String/Expression/Suggestion	Specify the algorithm to encrypt the data.
Sign Default Value: Deselected		Checkbox	Select this checkbox to enable the digital signing of the data
Signer Algorithm Default Value: sha1 Example: AES_256		String/Expression/Suggestion	Please select the digest to sign the data. A signer algorithm is a cryptographic algorithm used in digital signatures to generate and verify the integrity and authenticity of electronic documents or messages.
Content Transfer Encoding Default Value: sha1 Example: AES_256		String/Expression/Suggestion	Please select Content Transfer Encoding from the suggestions list. Content Transfer Encoding is a mechanism used in email communication and other protocols to encode the content of a message for transmission.
HTTP Headers	Use this field set to create the HTTP header key-value pairs required for defining the headers for different input types (JSON, PDF, DOCX, and so on). If you want to specify only content-type headers, you can configure the Multipart Content-Type property instead.
	Key Default Name: N/A Example: APIKey content-type	String/Expression/Suggestion	Specify the name of the Key for the HTTP header.
	Value Default Value: N/A Example: uyfikhEugk2iKnJWPvG8Rv8sL73BgM2C application/JSON	String/Expression	Specify the value of the Key for the HTTP header.
Snap Execution Default Value: Execute Only Example: Validate & Execute		Dropdown	Select one of the following three modes in which the Snap executes: Validate & Execute: Performs limited execution of the Snap and generates a data preview during pipeline validation. Subsequently, it performs complete execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during pipeline runtime. Execute only: Performs full execution of the Snap during pipeline execution without generating preview data. Disabled: Disables the Snap and all Snaps that are downstream from it.
