Installing and Activating the AS2 Module

AS2 is available to evaluate during the EFT trial.

Prerequisites for Using the AS2 Module

  • EFT

  • AS2 module

  • AS2 file transfers must not exceed 20GB.

  • More RAM could be required for large, non-EDI file transfers. AS2 transfers can use up to 40% of the Server's RAM for file transfers.

  • You must have .NET installed and configured. During installation, EFT determines whether .NET framework is installed and, if not installed, prompts you to install it.

  • You must have the Auditing and Reporting module installed. (The ARM trial is installed when you install EFT.)

If the AS2 module is not activated, the following events occur when the AS2 module trial has expired:

  • All incoming AS2 connections are rejected.

  • EFT audits the failure in the ARM database as "AS2 evaluation license expired."

  • Any Event Rule that contains an AS2 Send File to host Action will not fire, the If Failed Action triggers, and ARM audits the outbound failure in the ARM database as "AS2 evaluation license expired."

  • All AS2 configuration is unavailable.

  • The AS2 Send File to host Event Rule Action is no longer available for Event Rules.

  • EFT writes a message to the Windows Application Event Log.
