The RosettaNet connector sends and receives messages following the RosettaNet Implementation Framework (RNIF) standard.

Overview

A RosettaNet connection is configured in two places. Configure the RosettaNet Profiles page with a local RosettaNet identifier, and private certificates. Then configure individual RosettaNet connectors with connection settings specific to a single trading partner. When an input file is processed by a RosettaNet connector, it is packaged and sent to the specified trading partner.

When CData Arc receives a file over RosettaNet, it attempts to route the file to a specific RosettaNet connector. The application uses the RosettaNet identifiers in the RosettaNet message to determine which RosettaNet connector should receive the file. When a file is routed to a RosettaNet connector, that file is placed in the connector’s Output tab, or is passed along to the next connector in the flow.

Profile Configuration

The RosettaNet Profile must be configured before connections can be established with individual RosettaNet connectors. Click Profiles on the top menu bar, then click the RosettaNet tab.

RosettaNet Profile Tab

Personal Id

Settings for identifying the local profile.

• Business Identifier Your identifier. Messages sent by Arc include this value in outgoing messages to identify the sender. Incoming messages must be addressed to this identifier. Identifiers are case-sensitive.
• Business Location Describes the location of the receiver for incoming messages. This value is not an address, but it can be a city name.

Personal Certificate

Settings related to the private decryption and signature certificate.

• Private Certificate The certificate used to decrypt incoming messages and sign outgoing messages. Never share this certificate with external parties. Click the Create Certificate button to generate a self-signed certificate that is ready to use in a RosettaNet transaction: a corresponding public key is also generated with the same filename and a .cer extension.
• Certificate Password The password required to access the Private Certificate.

Application URLs

Settings and displayed values related to accessing Arc from the public web.

• Receiving URL The URL at which Arc listens for incoming RosettaNet messages. Share this URL with all your trading partners.

Miscellaneous

Miscellaneous settings are for specific use cases.

• Other Settings Enables you to configure hidden connector settings in a semicolon-separated list (for example, setting1=value1;setting2=value2). Normal connector use cases and functionality should not require the use of these settings.

Connector Configuration

Once you configure the global RosettaNet profile settings, create and configure individual RosettaNet connectors for each trading partner on the Flows page.

Settings Tab

Configuration

Settings for identifying and connecting to a specific RosettaNet trading partner.

• コネクタId コネクタの静的な一意の識別子。
• コネクタの種類 コネクタ名とその機能の説明が表示されます。
• コネクタの説明 コネクタとフローにおけるロールについて自由形式の説明を記載するオプションのフィールド。
• Business Identifier The identifier specific to the target trading partner. This value is included in the headers for outgoing messages, and is also used to route incoming messages to the appropriate RosettaNet connector.
• Business Location The location of the outgoing message recipient.
• Partner URL The trading partner’s public endpoint where outgoing messages should be sent.

Connection Info

Settings related to connection parameters for the specified trading partner.

• RNIF Version The protocol version to use when generating RosettaNet messages.
• Encryption Type Whether to encrypt the payload, the payload and the headers, or neither.
• Data Signature Whether to sign outgoing messages.
• Receive Message Security Whether to require that signatures and encryption are present for incoming messages. An error is thrown if a received message does not have a required security parameter.
• Connection Timeout The length of time (in seconds) the connector waits for a connection response before throwing a timeout error.
• Test Indicator Controls the GlobalUsageCode in the preamble header. Check this to set the code to Test. If left unchecked, the code is Production. Only required when RNIF Version is 1.1.

Acknowledgments

Settings related to RosettaNet acknowledgments.

• Automatic Acknowledgments Whether acknowledgments should be automatically sent in response to incoming RosettaNet messages.
• Automatic Exceptions Whether exceptions should be automatically sent in response to failed messages.
• Require Acknowledgment Whether acknowledgments should be returned in response to outgoing RosettaNet messages.
• Security Whether acknowledgments should include a signature block verifying the message integrity and identity of the recipient.
• Delivery Whether acknowledgments should be returned as a direct response to the outgoing RosettaNet message (Synchronous) or returned later as part of a separate connection (Asynchronous). Synchronous receipts are recommended unless the size of the RosettaNet message is very large (50MB is a common threshold), in which case processing the message and delivering a synchronous receipt might strain the connection timeout duration.

Trading Partner Certificates

Settings related to the public key certificates provided by the trading partner.

• Encryption Certificate The public key certificate used for RosettaNet encryption when sending messages. This certificate must be paired with the trading partner’s private decryption certificate, and the trading partner should provide this public key certificate when sharing RosettaNet configuration details.
• Verification Certificate The public key certificate used to verify RosettaNet signatures when receiving messages. This field is usually unnecessary; most RosettaNet parties use the same private certificate for both signing and decrypting. If this field is not specified, the application uses the Encryption Certificate to verify signatures.
• TLS Server Certificate The public key certificate used to verify the identity of an TLS/SSL server. This is only necessary if the partner’s RosettaNet system requires HTTPS instead of HTTP. If the trading partner does not provide a TLS server certificate, you can leave this setting blank to allow the underlying OS/JVM to perform certificate validation, or it can be set to Any Certificate to unconditionally trust the target server’s identity.

Automation Tab

Automation Settings

Settings related to the automatic processing of files by the connector.

• Send Whether files arriving at the connector are automatically sent as RosettaNet messages.
• Retry Interval The number of minutes before a failed send is retried. A retry is triggered when the server does not respond to a send attempt, or responds negatively to communicate that the file was not received.
• Max Attempts The maximum number of times the connector processes the input file. Success is based on a successful server acknowledgement and validation of the receipt (when requested synchronously). If you set this to 0, the connect retries the file indefinitely.
• Resend Interval The number of minutes before unacknowledged messages are resent. A resend is triggered when the server receives the file, but an asynchronous acknowledgment is not provided within the expected timeframe.
• Max Attempts (async) The maximum number of times the connector processes the input file when asynchronous acknowledgments are requested. Success is based on the return of an asynchronous receipt within the Resend Interval after a successful server acknowledgement. If a successful server acknowledgement is not returned, Max Attempts is applied instead. If this is set to 0, the connector resends the file indefinitely.

Performance

コネクタへのリソースの割り当てに関する設定。

• 最大ワーカー数 このコネクタでファイルを処理するためにスレッドプールで消費されるワーカースレッドの最大数。設定された場合、これは設定 > オートメーションページのデフォルト設定をオーバーライドします。
• 最大ファイル数 コネクタに割り当てられた各スレッドが送信するファイルの最大数。設定された場合、これは設定 > オートメーションページのデフォルト設定をオーバーライドします。

アラートタブ

アラートとサービスレベル（SLA）の設定に関連する設定。

コネクタのE メール設定

サービスレベル（SLA）を実行する前に、通知用のE メールアラートを設定する必要があります。アラートを設定をクリックすると、新しいブラウザウィンドウで設定ページが開き、システム全体のアラートを設定することができます。詳しくは、アラートを参照してください。

サービスレベル（SLA）の設定

サービスレベルでは、フロー内のコネクタが送受信すると予想される処理量を設定し、その量が満たされると予想される時間枠を設定できます。CData Arc は、サービスレベルが満たされていない場合にユーザーに警告するE メールを送信し、SLA を At Risk（危険） としてマークします。これは、サービスレベルがすぐに満たされない場合に Violated（違反） としてマークされることを意味します。これにより、ユーザーはサービスレベルが満たされていない理由を特定し、適切な措置を講じることができます。At Risk の期間内にサービスレベルが満たされなかった場合、SLA はViolated としてマークされ、ユーザーに再度通知されます。

サービスレベルを定義するには、予想処理量の条件を追加をクリックします。

• コネクタに個別の送信アクションと受信アクションがある場合は、ラジオボタンを使用してSLA に関連する方向を指定します。
• 検知基準（最小）を、処理が予想されるトランザクションの最小値（量）に設定し、毎フィールドを使用して期間を指定します。
• デフォルトでは、SLA は毎日有効です。これを変更するには、毎日のチェックをOFF にし、希望する曜日のチェックをON にします。
• 期間終了前にステータスを’At Risk’ に設定するタイミングを使用して、SLA がAt Risk としてマークされるようにします。
• デフォルトでは、通知はSLA が違反のステータスになるまで送信されません。これを変更するには、‘At Risk’ 通知を送信のチェックをON にします。

次の例は、月曜日から金曜日まで毎日1000ファイルを受信すると予想されるコネクタに対して構成されたSLA を示しています。1000ファイルが受信されていない場合、期間終了の1時間前にAt Risk 通知が送信されます。

Advanced Tab

Alternate Local Profile

Settings that override the configuration on the Profiles page for this specific RosettaNet connector. Setting an alternate local profile lets you use different local certificates and identifiers for certain trading partners.

• Local Business Location Your location. Overrides Business Location on the Profiles page.
• Local Business Identifier Your identifier. Overrides Business Identifier on the Profiles page.
• Private Certificate The certificate used to decrypt incoming messages and sign outgoing messages. Overrides Private Certificate on the Profiles page.
• Certificate Password The password required to access the local private certificate.

TLS Client Authentication

Settings related to client authentication when two-way TLS authentication is required.

• Use Profile Whether to use the Private Certificate configured on the Profiles page as the TLS certificate for client authentication.
• Private Certificate The private certificate presented during TLS client authentication. Only applicable if you are not using the private certificate on the Profiles page.
• Certificate Password The password required to access the TLS client certificate.

HTTP Authentication

Settings related to HTTP client authentication.

• HTTP Authentication Whether to use client HTTP authentication.
• HTTP Authentication Type Whether to provide HTTP authentication credentials in an encrypted format (Digest) or in plain text (Basic). Only use Basic authentication if the the connection is an HTTPS connection (instead of HTTP).
• User The user credential for HTTP client authentication.
• Password The password credential for HTTP client authentication.

Proxy Settings

These are a collection of settings that identify and authenticate to the proxy through which the RosettaNet connection should be routed. By default, this section uses the global settings on the Settings Page. Clear the checkbox to supply settings specific to your connector.

• プロキシの種類 プロキシベースのファイアウォールで使用されるプロトコル。
• プロキシホスト プロキシベースのファイアウォールの名前またはIP アドレス。
• プロキシポート プロキシベースのファイアウォールのTCP ポート。
• プロキシユーザー プロキシベースのファイアウォールでの認証に使用するユーザー名。
• プロキシパスワード プロキシベースのファイアウォールに認証するために使われるパスワード。
• 認証スキーム デフォルトのNone のままにするか、以下の認証スキームから1つを選択します：Basic、Digest、Proprietary、NTLM。

Advanced Settings

Settings not included in the previous categories.

• 処理の遅延 インプットフォルダに置かれたファイルの処理を遅延させる時間（秒）。これは旧式の設定です。代替として、ローカルファイルシステムの管理にはFile コネクタの使用がベストプラクティスです。
• RNIF Debug Mode Whether communication errors related to the validation of PIPs or the authentication of the sender should be returned by RosettaNet receivers. This setting must be enabled on both sides of the transfer for the exceptions to be returned.
• Signature Algorithm The algorithm to use when signing outgoing messages.
• TLS Enabled Protocols The list of TLS/SSL protocols supported when establishing outgoing connections. Best practice is to only use TLS protocols. Some obsolete operating systems do not support TLS 1.2.
• Secure Transport Check this to require security when forwarding messages.

Message

Message settings determine how the connector searches for messages and manages them after processing. You can save messages to your Sent folder or you can group them based on a Sent folder scheme, as described below.

• Sent フォルダに保存 チェックすると、コネクタで処理されたファイルをコネクタのSent フォルダにコピーします。
• Sent Folder Scheme Instructs the connector to group files in the Sent folder according to the selected interval. For example, the Weekly option instructs the connector to create a new subfolder each week and store all sent files for the week in that folder. The blank setting instructs the connector to save all files directly in the Sent folder. For connectors that process many transactions, using subfolders can help keep files organized and improve performance.

Logging

Settings that govern the creation and storage of logs.

• Log Level The verbosity of logs generated by the connector. When you request support, set this to Debug.
• Log Subfolder Scheme Instructs the connector to group files in the Logs folder according to the selected interval. For example, the Weekly option instructs the connector to create a new subfolder each week and store all logs for the week in that folder. The blank setting tells the connector to save all logs directly in the Logs folder. For connectors that process many transactions, using subfolders helps keep logs organized and improves performance.
• Log Messages Check this to have the log entry for a processed file include a copy of the file itself. If you disable this, you might not be able to download a copy of the file from the Input or Output tabs.

Miscellaneous

Miscellaneous settings are for specific use cases.

• Other Settings Enables you to configure hidden connector settings in a semicolon-separated list (for example, setting1=value1;setting2=value2). Normal connector use cases and functionality should not require the use of these settings.

Establishing a Connection

Trading partners must provide some of the connection details that are required when you configure a new RosettaNet connector. At a minimum, these details should include:

• Business Identifier
• Partner URL
• Partner Certificates

Business Identifier

Your trading partner is identified by their business identifier in a RosettaNet transaction. When sending outgoing requests, the business identifier is used in the header of the request to indicate the recipient.

To establish a RosettaNet self-test, the identifier should be set to the same value as the Business Identifier on the Profiles page.

Note: This value is case-sensitive.

Partner URL

The Partner URL is the endpoint where the trading partner receives RosettaNet transmissions. Outgoing RosettaNet messages are sent to this target endpoint, which much be unique for each trading partner. You can test the Partner URL with a web browser to check for networking or connectivity issues.

To establish a RosettaNet self-test, the target URL should be identical or nearly identical to the Receiving URL on the Profiles page. You can replace the domain name from the Profiles page with the loopback address localhost to keep the RosettaNet transaction in the local network. An example local self-test URL is http://localhost:8001/pub/Receive.rsb.

If you do not replace the domain name with localhost, the RosettaNet message is routed outside of the local network. You can use this to check network configuration settings and to make sure that the message can reach Arc through any firewalls.

Partner Certificates

Each RosettaNet connector must be configured with certificate(s) for the target trading partner. The trading partner provides the certificates necessary to encrypt and verify RosettaNet messages exchanged with them. Arc accepts X.509 public key certificates (files with .cer, .der, or .pem extensions).

Typically the trading partner provides a single certificate, which should be configured in the Encryption Certificate field.

If the trading partner provides multiple certificates, they should clarify the purpose of each certificate. If the partner provides a full certificate chain (as acquired from a commercial certificate authority), only the leaf certificate (the last certificate in the chain) needs to be configured.

Send and Receive Files

Once the RosettaNet profile and partner-specific RosettaNet connectors have been configured, files can be securely sent and received.

Send Files

In a RosettaNet connector, the Input tab displays the files to be sent to the target trading partner. If Send Automation is enabled on the Automation tab, files that reach the Input tab of the connector are automatically packaged and sent. Access the log files for all transmissions by expanding the row associated with the transmitted file.

On the Input tab, choose More > Create Test Files to generate a simple series of test files to send to the trading partner.

Resend and Retry

A RosettaNet Resend is triggered when the trading partner is expected to return an asynchronous ackowledgment, but fails to do so within the Resend Interval duration (60 minutes by default). The application then attempts to resend the transmission. The application continues resending the message until an acknowledgment is received or the Max Attempts (async) is exhausted.

A Retry is triggered when the HTTP response from the trading partner indicates that the server has not received the transmission. This can indicate a networking or connectivity issue, which is often transient. The application retries the transmission every Retry Interval minutes until the transmission is received or the Max Attempts is exhausted.

Receive Files

In a RosettaNet connector, the Output tab displays the files that have been received by the application and routed to the connector (based on the RosettaNet identifiers present in the incoming RosettaNet message). Expand each file row to display a list of available logs for the transmission.

These files are available on the connector Output tab. If the connector is connected to other connectors in the flow, files are automatically moved from the Output tab of the RosettaNet connector to the Input tab of the next connector in the flow.

The RosettaNet protocol does not allow for actively pulling files from trading partners: the RosettaNet connector can only passively wait for a trading partner to send a file.
