Just wanted to say Hello!

Just a very quick post to say that I am still there! I still want to create a fair and affordable platform/solution upon which to make e-business possible - for any person, from any company, in any industry, of any size, any where in the world.

I know I should spend some time to clean-up this Blog, there are now a lot of broken links :-/ But, I am quite busy for the moment. It's a little bit like I am back to stealth mode ;-)

I am currently working on a cool integration project, learning a lot about the X12 HIPAA message formats... I hope I will be able to tell you more shortly, as well as cleaning up this blog!

Demonstration, the "mendelson" AS2Box

I have just finished to create a "mendelson" AS2Box that sends *.txt messages to the mendelson AS2 test server.

You can connect to the "mendelson" AS2Box via FTP:
Host: ftp.as2box.net
Username: mendelson
Password: mendelson
Path: /outgoing

Then, you just "put" a *.txt and it will be sent to the mendelson AS2 test server. You can then check that your file is well arrived on the mendelson AS2 test server by pointing your browser to http://as2.mendelson-e-c.com:8080/webas2 with user: guest and password: guest.

The MDN will be copied in /outgoing/archive.

Do not hesitate to contact me if you would have any further questions...

AS2Box: Managed AS2 Service

AS2Box is probably the simplest Managed AS2 Service in the world!

You have to exchange files/messages using AS2 with your trading partner tomorrow, and you do not know the AS2 (RFC 4130) transport protocol. On the other hand, you have experience transferring files/messages with FTP or HTTP (WebDAV).

Then, AS2Box is the solution to your problem!

An AS2Box is a simple folder structure with an "incoming" and an "outgoing" folders, which you can access via FTP or WebDAV.

We manage the AS2 connectivity with your trading partners.

The messages that your trading partner sent to your AS2Box will be received into your "incoming" folder, while the messages you upload to your "outgoing" folder will be picked up and sent to your trading partner.

Demonstration #2 with Zoho Invoice

For my next scenario, I plan to use the XML format of Zoho invoice as input, to be translated into EDIFACT INVOIC D.96A again.

Again, any other suggestions are more than welcome ;-)

Babelabout Demonstration #1 is LIVE ;-)

Please click on http://www.babelabout.com/demo.html and have a try ;-)

Demonstration #1: Send to your customer an EDIFACT INVOIC via AS2, by uploading to Babelabout.net a CSV file with FTP.

Many thanks in advance!

I am about to be back ;-)

I have not yet gave up with Babelabout!

I am still struggling about how to transform this night-shift activity into a successful business, but at least, a new - not really different - web site will be launch this week-end, with a working demonstration!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2011!

I wish you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous Happy New Year 2011, including a successful business running a lot of EDI connections ;-)
