I've managed to follow the Microsoft BizTalk AS2 tutorial "Tutorial 3: AS2 Tutorial" (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb245935.aspx) to receive an X12 message over AS2 and send back a MDN, and also the X12 TA1 and 997.
I also managed to add a self-signed certificate to sign the outgoing MDN.
My problm is that I also want to sign the outgoing X12 TA1 and 997 messages.
How can that be done?
Just configure the Send Port for AS2 with your Trading Partner. The TA1 and 997/999 are just regular X12 messages.
Just to note, the Sender has to request a TA1, you shouldn't just send one unsolicited.
Problem resolved. I had missed to specify "Message should be signed" in the AS2 Agreement, under Validation in the outbound part. Now I can sign outgoing MDN, TA1 and 997.

We are using an AS2 connection both for receiving and sending EDI messages. We configured the communication to be encrypted/compressed and signed.
Is it possible to track the EDI messages
on receive - after decryption and compression on send?
before encryption and compression?
With the built in tracking tools you can see the message in xml format. But it would be useful to have them in EDI.
The simple answer is yes. With BizTalk almost anything is possible and especially utilizing BAM with EDI - You should be able to view as native too. You can log the EDI message in X12 format... parse it and send to a database, email it... the possibilities are many. With Pipeline components you can log the message before anything happens to it or before the final send.
I was thinking about JSON/XML-RPC over HTTP vs TCP. In case of HTTP, the HTTP request and response provide a message framing mechanism. However, since TCP is a stream,
How are RPC messages framed?
Does the RPC spec dictate that?
Are there any other standards defining framing mechanisms?
Is there one mechanism more often used than the other?
I'm trying to guage this before inventing a framing mechanism.
There are many framing standards, HTTP being one of them. Websocket being another, on top of HTTP, more suited for bidirectional streams.
JSON-RPC 2.0 does not concern itself with transport, intentionally.
(1.0 had some transport specifics, that was removed in the new version.)
RFC 7484 provides a framing standard for "JSON text sequences": https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7464
Summary: Each JSON message is prefixed with a 0x1E byte (which can't appear unescaped in a JSON message) and is suffixed with 0x0A (linefeed).
Note, however, that this is not part of the JSON-RPC specification. There are libraries that support it as part of their JSON-RPC implementation.
I am using BizTalk Server 2009 to send EDI messages to my client using AS2. I am able to send messages, but getting an error while sending messages that exceeds 5KB of file size. I checked with the partner whether they are using any restrictions on file size, but they are able to exchange even some GB's of files with other trading partner.
I compared the files that are successfully sent with the one that failed. But found no difference between two except LIN, PIA, QTY and other segments.
I found the below error when tracked in event viewer.
The adapter failed to transmit message going to send port "SendTextFile" with URL "http://xxclienturlxx.com:2080/ipnet/as2". It will be retransmitted after the retry interval specified for this Send Port. Details:"The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.".
How do I resolve this?
Found the solution..
In BizTalk 2009, disabling "Enable chunked encoding" in Send port Transport type properties did the trick for me...
To have large message support when the size of the message is greater than 48 KB, the http send adapter is sending the data in chunks to the server instead of a full stream"
This post HTTP Send Adapter - Submit to ASP Page Issue helped me to find the solution.
In BizTalk 2009 HL7 accelerator how does a party resolution happen when send port is added to a party, will contents of MSH (Message Header Section) still get evaluated ?
What is the difference between one way MLLP (Minimum Lower Layer Protocol) and a two way MLLP?
When a message is sent over that send port which you have registered with the party, everything in the MSH is processed as normal, but you have the option to populate certain fields using the BTAHL7 configuration explorer which will override anything going to your message recipient. This allows you to have 1-off MSH values per vendor if you have a canonical hl7 message coming from an orchestration or internal source of record.
One-Way MLLP (as is implied by the name) handles one-way communication for hl7 messages over MLLP. Two-Way allows you to send acknowledgements (ACK) as part of the message receipt process. Since some ([sic] many) vendors require acknowledgements for individual messages, you can either use two One-Way adapters or a single Two-Way adapter to accomplish that goal.
How Messages Flow through BTAHL7(MSDN)
how do i send an sms message from my web application using asp.net with c#.
You cant send messages directly through asp.net.
What you can do is send a web request or an email to an online SMS provider,
or to a local gateway (like a phone) and it can then pass the message onto
the GSM network.
Try Clickatell to get an idea of what I mean.
http://www.clickatell.com/brochure/coverage.php
If you don't want to pay, most cell phone carriers have an email that you can send messages to that will then forward them to the proper recipient. E.G. (10 digit phone number)#txt.att.net.
Bu of course this means that you will have to know the carrier, and many of them will not send outside the U.S. so that might not be the most attractive option.
You find a gateway (I use Clickatell, but there are others) and integrate with them. It's generally quite trivial (but of course, you pay to send the messages). They often have SMTP, HTTP and other types of APIs.
