  • 1.  AS2 solutions for IBM i

    Posted 6 days ago

    Hi, 

    We've been using Zmod AS2 and sFTP for years but the product is no longer being supported. What are IBM i shops using out there for these transfers?

    For SFTP we are using our code via PASE to have full control also on db local logging of the exchange, exception, integration (RPG calls).

    I noticed that ever increasing number of commercial partners are accepting SFTP beside AS2.

    We don't have many AS2 or OFTP2 partners, so I've resorted to an external internet cloud service that just accepts inbound/outbound via FTP side channel, to ease interfacing from the ibmi, while they run the AS2 part for an acceptable fee, and I keep the workflow the same.

    I don't want to advertise here, but such services are easily found via web search, and even a major public cloud has AS2 service in their suite, depending on the needs and volumes.

    I too would be interested if somebody have a full - especially if open source - AS2 full on IBMi  experience to share, to investigate the possibilities for a full direct on prem solution. I know that there are some (open or not) full java implementations, so they should be runnable directly on ibmi, although I don't know the status or quality of such components but it would be nice to hear some experience.

    We use our own SFTP scripts/connection...

    For AS2, we use two different servers

    1. OpenText (formerly Inovis) BizConnect (windows server)
    2. Mendelson AS2 (windows server) - this is open source, but we pay a small fee to get support - simple and works great.

    But what if the OP is running IBM i 7.6?  GoAnywhere just came out with a major new release and still they do not support IBM i 7.6.

    Hello,

    GoAnywhere MFT a browser based solution that did originate on the IBM i (AS400) that can easily be configured as a Client or Server for AS2, SFTP, FTPS, HTTPS and more.  To expand a bit more then what you are asking, with GoAnywhere, you will be able to push and pull files automatically, encrypt data at rest and in motion, full auditing, and reporting.
