Configuring Identifiers (AS2)

In the partner agreement, you must specify the sender and receiver parties. These values are also used for agreement resolution for the inbound or outbound messages.

Important

The following properties are disabled on this page if you cleared the Local BizTalk processes messages received by the party or supports sending messages from this party check box while creating the party for which you are creating the agreement.

  • AS2To under Additional Agreement Resolvers section.

    The properties are disabled only on the one-way agreement tab that corresponds to the properties for interchanges being sent from the party. For example, if you create two parties Party A and Party B and for Party A, you cleared the check box, the above list of properties are disabled on the Party A->Party B one-way agreement tab.

Prerequisites

You must be logged on as a member of the BizTalk Server Administrators or BizTalk Server B2B Operators group.

To configure the identifier properties

  1. Create an AS2 agreement as described in Configuring General Settings (AS2). To update an existing AS2 agreement, right-click the agreement in the Parties and Business Profiles page, and click Properties.

  2. On a one-way agreement tab, click Identifiers.

  3. In the AS2-From page, specify the name of the trading partner sending the AS2 message.

  4. In the AS2-To page, specify the name of the trading partner receiving the AS2 message.

  5. Under the Additional Agreement Resolvers section, for the AS2To property, enter an additional alias for the partner that receives the message.

    Note

    This property is optional. This property is available for backward compatibility. When a party definition is migrated from BizTalk Server 2006 R2 or BizTalk Server 2009 to BizTalk Server, the name of the party in the previous versions of BizTalk Server is included as a value for this property. This ensures that the agreement resolution happens and the existing applications and partner definitions can be used with BizTalk Server.

  6. Click Apply to accept the changes before continuing with the configuration, or click OK to validate the changes and then close the dialog box.
