Configuring MDN Receipts

You can configure MDN Receipts using Transports tab for Business Agreement. For more information, see Business Agreements section in the specific protocol’s documentation.

Enabling Receipts

You can enable MDN receipts in the Request Receipt list when configuring a transport for the trading partner. In this field, you can specify a signed or unsigned receipt. For AS2-HTTP/S you can also specify whether the receipt is to be sent synchronously or asynchronously. Asynchronous MDN receipts for AS2-HTTP/S transport can be returned on Email transport, and not just on HTTP/S transport.
Note: Asynchronous receipts appear in the audit log as a BCCE/Receipt entry.

Setting Up Receipt Timeouts

When TIBCO BusinessConnect Container Edition is configured to accept MDN receipts within a certain timeout and if they are not received within this timeout, the request is timed out. To set a value for the time that the Initiator should wait for an MDN receipt from the Responder, enter a value in the Receipt Timeout field in the Transports tab.

Setting Up the Asynchronous Receipt SSL Certificate

The Remote Server Certificate or the Server Certificate for the AS2 HTTPS transport is a SSL certificate that is used for encrypting the data sent using HTTPS. For more information on how to configure the remote server certificate for AS2 transport, see information about AS2 Async MDN Remote Server Certificate field for Business Agreement Transport tab in the protocol-specific documentation.

Setting Up the AS2 MDN Asynchronous Reply Transport

When an asynchronous MDN is requested, the Disposition-Notification-To header of the inbound request contains the URL that is used for returning the MDN. If this is an HTTP/S URL, the settings for the socket timeout, retry count, and retry interval are taken from the inbound AS2 transport configuration for the trading partner who sent the MDN request. If you want to use different values for the HTTP/S socket timeout, retry count, or retry interval when returning the MDN request, you can create an AS2 HTTP/S transport configuration that has the proper values and specify this alternate AS2 transport configuration for the MDN reply. For more information, see information about AS2 Async MDN Reply Transport field for the Business Agreement Transport tab in the protocol-specific documentation .
