Implementing WebSphere Business Integration Express for Item Synchronization

228 Implementing WebSphere BI Express for Item Synchronization

A.1 Prerequisites

UCCnet supports secure message transmission via the AS2 protocol. They have

several technical prerequisites for anyone who wishes to communicate with

them. Before getting started, you should visit read the UCCnet’s EDIINT

Welcome Package, which can be obtained from their Web site’s eRoom at the

following URL:

A.1.1 System requirements

UCCnet will only send messages to systems with a static IP address that is

reachable from the Internet. They strongly prefer that you accept AS2

address on port 4080. If you need to use a different port number, you will need to

contact the UCCnet customer service desk for assistance.

A.1.2 Software requirements

In order to register with UCCnet, you must use a client that is certified as

AS2-compliant by the Drummond Group. In our implementation, we used the

iSoft Peer-to-Peer Agent Express.

A.2 Configuring your user account

When configuring your UCCnet account, you will need to login to SYNCPoint.

The URLs for SYNCPoint are:

trading partners to obtain a certificate from either VeriSign or GeoTrust. You will

need to contact the UCCnet support center if you have a certificate from a
