RE: [External] AS2 Connection Options -- MIDRANGE-L

We use both TLI and Biz Connect products. Biz Connect is a solid product with excellent support and makes setting up AS2 trading partners relatively simple. Seamless integration with TLI, too.

Subject: [External] AS2 Connection Options

We have a customer requiring an AS2 connection with Ariba if we want to continue with EDI automation from the IBM i. Otherwise, manual through a portal. I have never set up an AS2 connection and we have GoAnywhere MFT, but the AS2 client/server feature has a cost. We use GXS(OpenText) TrustedLink for i for the EDI translation and for other EDI trading partners. They (GXS) have an AS2 option with BizManager but that is another product with a price. I researched past posts and some of those mention using a Windows PC instead of the IBM i for the AS2 connection. I'm willing to try a Windows PC. Actually, that customer also currently requires us to use some of their own old software running on a Windows PC which pulls from/to IBM i IFS files. I think that is one of the reasons they want to switch.
What is the most popular/favorite, stable, etc software that midrange people use for the AS2 connection? Any software to stay away from? Any part of this that can be done on our own?

Thanks,
Craig Strong
