EEDI EDI GUARD - AUTOMATIC FILE MANAGER<br />
The EDI GUARD handles all tasks related to<br />
advanced <strong>file</strong> management. It is ultra-fast and<br />
scaleable from micro-LAN to WAN to server farm.<br />
All functions needed for <strong>file</strong> handling are <strong>com</strong>bined<br />
in a single application, delivering extremely fast and<br />
ultra reliable transfers due to its' socket-based<br />
architecture.<br />
One of the key standard functions of EDI GUARD is the<br />
automatic receiving and processing of in<strong>com</strong>ing emails<br />
with POP3. The GUARD analyzes all in<strong>com</strong>ing emails,<br />
including their attachments, and processes them according<br />
to <strong>com</strong>prehensive, user definable rules set by the<br />
administrator. For example, these rules can be used to<br />
instruct the GUARD to move attachments matching preset<br />
criteria, into a specified folder and return a confirmation<br />
email to the sender. The confirmation email could be<br />
constructed to include a list of all received <strong>file</strong>s, as well as<br />
those which were either ignored or rejected.<br />
Successfully received attachments could then be imported<br />
using a preset external program.<br />
All that's required for EDI GUARD to automatically handle<br />
in<strong>com</strong>ing emails is to set a list of actions to:<br />
create a job (set interval for POP3 retrieval)<br />
automatic retrieval of emails<br />
analysis and processing of emails and<br />
attachments<br />
import of EDI contents from separated<br />
attachments with an external program<br />
There are a number of possible procedures, or actions, for<br />
the EDI GUARD to follow:<br />
POP3 retrieval scan & analysis processing:<br />
• separation of attachments<br />
• distribution/storage of emails<br />
• rejection of emails<br />
• import of EDI messages<br />
Execute Program:<br />
Starts any user defined external program (i.e. for import of<br />
external EDI <strong>file</strong>s)<br />
Move File:<br />
Places a specified <strong>file</strong> in a different folder (i.e. for backup or<br />
archival)<br />
Rename and Move File:<br />
Renames a specified <strong>file</strong> and places it in a different folder<br />
(i.e. for backup)<br />
FTP Upload:<br />
Uploads a specified <strong>file</strong> to an FTP server<br />
FTP Download:<br />
Downloads a specified <strong>file</strong> from an FTP server<br />
POP3 Retrieval:<br />
Downloads emails from a mailbox and stores them in a local<br />
folder<br />

EEDI EDI GUARD - AUTOMATIC FILE MANAGER<br />
Detach Attachments: In addition, the EDI GUARD includes:<br />
Analyzes locally stored emails (or <strong>file</strong>s) and separates<br />
attachments from their respective emails. Black and white<br />
lists determine how the emails and attachments are<br />
processed, for example, when the email body text is saved<br />
as a separate <strong>file</strong>, which is of interest when EDIFACT<br />
messages are received as a part of the body text and not, as<br />
re<strong>com</strong>mended, in an attachment.<br />
Delete Files:<br />
Deletes <strong>file</strong>s according to the settings with the following<br />
criteria:<br />
delete <strong>file</strong>s after x days<br />
delete the first x <strong>file</strong>s<br />
delete <strong>file</strong>s created within a specified time period<br />
delete <strong>file</strong>s with specified names<br />
Each of these criteria can be set to include subdirectories.<br />
Send Email:<br />
Sends emails via SMTP. The following log-in specifications<br />
are valid: Login, Plain, Cram-MD5, Digest-MD5<br />
Scan Folder:<br />
Moves <strong>file</strong>s from a specified directory to another location.<br />
Rules for processing <strong>file</strong>s<br />
Each <strong>file</strong> is processed according to<br />
<strong>file</strong> name<br />
<strong>file</strong> contents<br />

EDI GUARD scans and analyzes the mail contents<br />
PGP encryption / decryption<br />
EDI GUARD is equipped to use PGP keys from version 8.1 or<br />
higher for encrypting or decrypting <strong>file</strong>s. Encryption can be<br />
applied to each rule.<br />
Indices<br />
One extremely useful feature of EDI GUARD is<br />
the ability to generate unique <strong>file</strong> names where<br />
necessary. When customers send messages with<br />
repetitive names, archiving can be<strong>com</strong>e difficult.<br />
The EDI GUARD, however, circumvents this<br />
difficulty without the need for manual effort by<br />
renaming these <strong>file</strong>s based on defined rules.<br />
Integrated job control<br />
The integrated job control of EDI GUARD keeps<br />
track of all performed activities.<br />
