Hello Earl,
Most AS2 Receivers (at least ours is :) are based on top of existing
Webserver or Servlet Engine Infrastructure. So you can easyly configure
the IIS/Apache/Tomcat Container to listen on multiple Ports.
Actually it is good if you can configure multiple Listeners in the
Software to separate Production from Test Data.
On the client site I asume all useable Software allows to use abritary
ports to connect to.
For a Hub it is adviceable to at least support the GS1 recommended Ports
as well as a smaller collection of Ports which are likely to be open in
Firewalls (especially including 80 + 443!). As outlined above, thats
less a Software issue and more a question on the System Landscape.

Subject: The Joys of AS2
A large retail chain up here in Canada is moving to AS2.
They have listed 5 useable ports - 80, 2080, 4080, 5080 & 9080.
They are also requiring Drummond Group certification ;-(
I looked at a list of our existing AS2 clients, and only 20% of them use
one of
these ports. The rest use other ports.
This has not been a problem in the past, since all of our clients were
doing
AS2 with WalMart and possibly one other TP.
As additional hubs switch to AS2, this may become a problem...
We are using bTrade...
The AS2 server has to listen on a particular port, so my question is:
How do you accommodate multiple AS2 ports?
Doing a port redirect in the firewall/router is one option...
Any others?
thanks
Earl Wertheimer
