| Hosts / Host Technical Reference | |
The ebXML Message Service (ebMS) standard provides the ability to securely transport EDI (and other data, including binary and XML) to a remote host.
This guarantees that the message has not been changed in transit and is received and can be read only by the intended trading partner. A returned acknowledgment further guarantees that the intended trading partner has received the message.
ebMS uses the HTTP protocol as its transport mechanism to send files over the Internet. VersaLex uses the PUT (HTTP POST) action command to transport the secure data to the remote host.
