New EDI Features in BizTalk Services August 2014 Update
September 12, 2014 1 Comment
On August 12th, 2014, the BizTalk Product Team announced the release of the latest update to Microsoft Azure BizTalk Services (MABS), which includes the following enhancements:
- Ability to configure and manage agreements and bridges separately
- Ability to configure EDI delimiters at a Transaction Set level
- Enhanced digest and encryption algorithms for AS2
- Drummond Certification for AS2
- Support for advanced XML constructs in transforms
The enhancements to the mapper and the associated SDK certainly sound exciting, but this blog post will concentrate on the new EDI features. Support for B2B applications through Electronic Document Interchange (EDI) is one of the core capabilities and selling points of MABS, so Microsoft’s attention to this area is a well-placed investment.
