Not Checked Performance

Migrating from Seeburger

Seeburger and B2B Add-on If you are on B2B already, and if it is relevant Probably a new single stack PO system Migration phase takes time Don't want a big bang implementation One message at a time

XSD changed

One Message At a Time I suggest that you take this approach: have one message live at a time.

From ERP Can change one partner message at a time

◦Set EDI properties or change to new PORT

To ERPSeeburger flow B2B flow

Remove partners and forward unkown messages to the B2B flow

Processing

Processing

AS2 URLs are different

ICM/Reverse proxy to rewrite the messages

Hopefully you have an external proxy that can help with redirect
