Hello, Has anyone ever connected to IBM Information Exchange via TN’s VAN Connection module? Gabor
We process EDI in IS4.6 / TN 4.6 and use IBM IE, but from what I could determine, TN can’t connect to IBM IE because TN doesn’t support the secure FTP required by IBM IE. You are probably already familiar with the IBM IE web page describing their FTP requirements: [url]https://pki.services.ibm.com/ieftp/webdocs.shtml[/url]
We have chosen to use the LexiCom FTP client from Cleo to talk to IBM IE. We pass data between TN and LexiCom via flat files. This is far from an ideal solution but it does work.
We opted to talk to them using EDIINT. We send http and AS2. We have successfully got it working but are not in production yet. webMethods is certified for this with Advantis.
