AS2 Information in the Database

The Auditing and Reporting module (ARM) must be installed to use the AS2 module. If the ARM database fails, AS2 functionality is not available. EFT Server installer updates the ARM database with AS2 tables.

The following information is audited to the ARM database and provided in AS2 reports and the AS2 Transactions node:

  • Date/Time

  • Raw HTTP Headers

  • File name

  • MDN

  • MIC*

  • Content Type

  • Message-ID

  • Remote/Local File path (mailbox)

  • Remote/Local Host (hidden by default)

  • Status: Success (S), Failure (F), or In Progress (IP)

  • Direction: Inbound or Outbound

  • EFT Server AS2 ID

  • Partner AS2 ID

  • Error (only if Failure) occurred, the verbose error. Otherwise "None".

  • Action:

    • Inbound Connection (S, F, IP)

    • Outbound Connection (S, F, IP)

    • Receive File (S, F, IP)

    • Send File (S, F, IP)

    • Send Receipt Asynchronous (S,F,IP)

    • Send Receipt Synchronous (S,F,IP)

    • Receive Receipt (S,F, IP)

    • Receipt Verification (S,F)

*EFT Server calculates the AS2 MIC using SHA-1. (Refer to RFC 3335 for details.) You can ignore the words "MD5" that appear in the MIC column of the AS2-related reports (tbl_AS2Transactions column).
