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 />
