Aayu Technologies currently offers three main products: MFT Gateway, AS2 Gateway, and EDI Generator. Each product is designed to cater to specific business needs:
If your organization does not use EDI files and only needs a medium to transfer business documents over AS2 or SFTP protocols, you only need an account with either MFT Gateway (which supports AS2 and SFTP) or AS2 Gateway (supports only AS2). Your choice should depend on factors such as file sizes, transaction frequency, preference for cloud-based or server solutions, and your budget.
Important: You do not need accounts in both products. Select the one that best suits your requirements and proceed with it.
In this case, you will only need either an MFT Gateway or AS2 Gateway account. Both gateways offer multiple integrations, such as S3, SFTP, Webhook, or API, allowing you to automate the file transfer process and integrate it with your current system.
In this scenario, you will need an EDI Generator account along with either an MFT Gateway or AS2 Gateway account. This setup allows the EDI files received by the MFT Gateway or AS2 Gateway to be interpreted, and response EDI files to be generated and sent out.
If you require both AS2 and EDI capabilities, follow the steps described in the article to integrate the two Aayu products so that the MFT gateway can receive and send files over AS2, while EDI Generator interprets and generates EDI files for you.
1.1 I’m Completely New and Do Not Have an Aayu Account Navigate to the Create Account page of Aayu and follow the steps to create an account. Make sure to check the “I need EDI processing over AS2” box in the first step. This will create both MFT Gateway and EDI Generator accounts. You can use the same login credentials for all accounts.
1.2 I Already Have an MFT Gateway Account If you already have an MFT Gateway account, navigate to the EDI Generator login page, enter your MFT Gateway credentials, and click on the login button. If you do not have an EDI Generator account, one will be created at that time.
Once your MFT Gateway and EDI Generator accounts are created, you need to establish the AS2 connection with your partner. Please refer to our blog on setting up an AS2 connection. If you are just starting and do not have partner details yet, you can use our Mock Station/ Partner to proceed with the setup.
Once AS2 Station and Partner are configured on MFT Gateway, navigate to Integrations → EDI Generator.
The EDI Generator account name should match the Account ID of your MFT Gateway account. Select your station(s) and click on the Integrate button. Upon successful integration, details will be displayed on the EDI Generator Integration page for use in later steps.
Log in to your EDI Generator account and navigate to Administration → Organization. On this page, enter the details under MFT Gateway Integration:
MFT Gateway S3 Bucket: S3 Bucket name from the integration details(3.2 image). MFT Gateway S3 Access Key: S3 Access Key ID from the integration details(3.2 image). MFT Gateway S3 Secret Key: Secret access key from the AccessKeys.csv file.
Ensure that the EDI Generator Account Name under MFT Gateway Integration matches the name given in Step 2. If they differ, update the name on the MFT Gateway side.
Fill in all the details under MFT Gateway Integration and click the Verify Integration icon. A successful verification popup should appear if everything is correctly configured.
If verification fails, double-check the red colored fields on the verification pop-up. The following popup indicates issues of AS2 IDs, S3 bucket, and S3 Access/Secret Keys.
After successfully verifying the MFT Gateway Integration, complete the Address Line 1 and ISA and GS Identification details. If you are unsure about the ISA ID Qualifier, keep the default ZZ and use an ID that represents your company for the ISA Identifier and GS Code. You can use the same value for both fields.
Once these steps are completed, EDI files received by MFT Gateway via AS2 protocol will be added to the EDI Generator’s inbox. Follow our series of blogs to learn more about how to view and generate EDI files.
