The AS4 Adapter enables you to create an integration between an AS4 trading partner and Oracle Integration. Applicability Statement 4 (AS4) is a protocol for transporting structured business-to-business (B2B) data securely and reliably over the internet. Security is achieved by using digital certificates, encryption, and message compression.

The AS4 Adapter provides the following capabilities:

• Supports trigger and invoke connections for handling inbound and outbound AS4 messages.

• Supports encryption/decryption, signing/signature verification, and compression/decompression of messages as per AS4 specifications.

• Supports the following payload types: EDI, XML, or anything that AS4 can support.

• Establishes a connection to the AS4-compliant B2B system to enable sending or receiving messages.
• Supports synchronous, unsigned MDN.
• Enables you to configure outbound and inbound message delivery using the Adapter Endpoint Configuration Wizard.
• Consumes business messages and MDN acknowledgments in the inbound direction. Synchronous MDN acknowledgment deliveries are supported.
• Supports the AS4 Basic Username Password Token Policy and AS4 Advanced Username Password Token Policy security policies.
• Supports specifying the message partition channel (MPC) value on which the outbound AS4 message is set. See Specify the Message Partition Channel Value for the Outbound AS4 Message.

The AS4 Adapter is one of many predefined adapters included with Oracle Integration. See the Adapters page in the Oracle Help Center.
