	AS2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		AS2 (Applicability Statement 2) is a specification about how to transport data securely and reliably over the Internet.
		AS2 creates an envelope for a message which is then sent securely over the Internet.
		AS2 provides an ‘envelope’ for the data, which is sent over the Internet using standard protocols (here: HTTP protocol; see also: AS1 with SMTP, AS3 with FTP)

	FAQ on AS2 Test Results for Supply Chains
		AS2 In-the-Queue is a conformance and debugging round.
		Passing AS2 In-the-Queue is a mandatory pre-requisite for 1) all new products entering testing or 2) for products which have made significant code changes to their product since passing the last AS2 Interoperability Round.
		Companies listed as AS2 OEM companies also undergo a 2-day test to ensure that their OEM product is in fact the same code base as the product-with-version which passed the AS2 Interoperability Test.

	AS2 Processing
		Many companies are being thrust into world of AS2 in much the same way they were compelled to implement EDI a few years ago: a mandate is received from a trading partner directing them to implement an AS2 solution by a given deadline.
		AS2 is a secure internet communications process that will eliminate the need for and cost of transmitting data through a Value Added Network (VAN).
		As mentioned, a long term benefit in using AS2 is to significantly reduce and in some cases eliminate the traditional communication costs associated with VAN’s.

	Getting Started with AS2 Messaging: Installation and Configuration
		Uninstalling AS2 – provides instructions for restoring the system to its state prior to installing the AS2 plug in.
		Because the AS2 Communications Agents are a plug-in for 3.6.2, AS2 administration differs from administration for native Communications Agents (for example, FTP, SMTP, or ebXML).
		Confirm that all components have completed and are shut down by examining the AS2 logs and by confirming the processes are not in execution by running ps -ef commands in the Unix console.

		Some suppliers are finding, to their delight, that AS2 delivers savings and rapid ROI to them as well.
		While the eBusinessReady program, an industry-neutral testing program to ensure interoperability among AS2 software, is designed expressly to avoid communication conflicts among applications used by partners, AMR warns users to probe partners about their long-term plans to use a specific version of software, to avoid potential conflicts.
		AS2 is unlikely to completely replace other methods of transacting business, but seems destined to play a major role in B2B transactions.

	Welcome To Edisoft : Support AS2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		AS2 is a draft specification by which applications communicate data securely over the Internet using, typically, HTTP/S. AS2 specifies only how to transport the data, but not how the data should be processed by the translation software.
		In other words, instead of Wal-Mart waiting for you to connect to them and send a request for them to send you their files they will forward files to your local system as soon as they have been queued to their network.
		AS2 controls communication only and has nothing to do with actual EDI data.

		AS2 is a communications protocol that enables EDI and other supply chain documents to be transported via the Internet in a highly secure, accountable manner.
		AS2 is quickly gaining acceptance as a less costly and more flexible way for large companies to exchange electronic data with their trading partners when compared to traditional VANs (Value Added Networks).
		As a result, large companies are requesting and/or requiring that their trading partners transport their EDI data via the AS2 protocol rather than a VAN or secure FTP.

	RFC 2650 (rfc2650) - Using RPSL in Practice
		AS2 might then modify the AS3 import line in Figure 2 to read: import: from AS3 accept { 7.7.0.0/16^16-19 } which states that route announcements for this address block will be accepted from AS3 if they are of length upto /19.
		However, AS2 may also define a backup connection in an export clause: aut-num: AS2 export: to AS1 7.7.7.1 at 7.7.7.2 action med=10; to AS1 7.7.7.1 at 7.7.7.3 action med=20; announce <^AS2+$> The definition given here for AS2 is the symmetric counterpart to the routing policy of AS1.
		This is specified in RPSL as: aut-num: AS2 export: to AS1 action med=igp_cost; announce <^AS2+$> Hence, both routers will set the med to the IGP metric at that router, causing some routes to be preferred at one of the routers and other routes at the other router.

		AS2 (along with AS1 and soon to be released AS3), is simply the standard for secure data transfer over the Internet directly to your trading partners.
		AS stands for Applicability Standard, AS1 is based on a STMP protocol (email), AS2 is based on HTTPS (web server), and the latest is AS3 which is based on FTP (file transfer protocol).
		Because critical business data must sometimes be stored before either an application or business partner is ready to accept the data, iSoft Mailbox delivers true store-and-forward functionality and a completely secure storage area offering both individual and shared mailboxes so that multiple partners can view, store, or upload data to a common mailbox.

	The Enterprise System Spectator: What exactly is AS2?
		AS2 is short-hand for EDIINT AS2 (Electronic Data Interchange-Internet Integration Applicability Statement 2).
		Although AS2 can be applied to any Internet messaging format, Wal-mart is using it at this point for electronic data interchange (EDI).
		However, because AS2 is a public standard, other vendor solutions should work equally well.

	AS2 Communications - Sterling Commerce (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		AS2 or EDI-INT AS2 is the communication standard used to securely transport all types of business data using the Internet rather than over a dedicated network.
		AS2 provides additional security protection as well as responding with a message letting the sender know that the data was received.
		The encrypted data is sent over the Internet to the receiving partner where the AS2 software validates the digital signature, decrypts the data and sends a MDN (Message Disposition Notification) that lets the sending partner know that the data was received properly.
