Webmethods Ediint Module Introduction
Webmethods Ediint Module Introduction
The webMethods EDIINT Module (EDIINT Module) adds support for the EDIINT
exchange protocol. Documents using the EDIINT protocol are processed through Trading
Networks. As a result, if you want to use the EDIINT protocol, you must use Trading
Networks.
The EDIINT Module supports EDIINT AS1 (SMTP), EDIINT AS2 (HTTP), and EDIINT
AS3 (FTPS) messages, including MDN (receipt) exchange. The EDIINT Module
exclusively uses the S/MIME version 2 cryptographic format to package, encrypt, and
provide a digital signature to outbound data, as well as to unpack, decrypt, and verify the
authenticity of inbound data.
You can use EDIINT to transport both EDI and non-EDI formatted (e.g., XML or custom
format) documents.
When you use the EDIINT transport for EDI documents, you must also have the
webMethods EDI Module installed. The EDIINT Module passes EDI documents to
Trading Networks, which in turn allows the EDI Module to process the EDI document
using the functions of the EDI Module packages (WmEDI and WmEDIforTN).
When you use the EDIINT transport non-EDI documents, the EDIINT Module passes
the documents to Trading Networks, and Trading Networks processes based on logic
you define in Trading Networks.
