        (If using a 3rd Party service provider, verify with them whether applicable and         completed)

Loren Data’s innovative and robust AS2 platform allows for the current and new certificate to run in parallel until the new one has been successfully tested. This means you can download, install, and send a test with the new certificate at your convenience, without disrupting your production data flow. Once you send a successful test or production file using the new certificate, you will automatically be switched over on our network and your transition will be complete.  

 

CRITICAL NOTE: Please ensure you are prepared to begin using the new certificate immediately, when preparing to send the test file. Once the ECGrid network receives a successful file from your network, it automatically changes your profile and begins using the new certificate. 

 

This also means you do not have to contact or schedule this change with Loren Data’s Support Team! You simply have to complete and test the change before our recommended date of May 1st. 

 

First Action Item: Download and install new certificate 

 

There are multiple ways you can download this certificate: 


    1. Loren Data will be sending you multiple notifications via email with the new certificate attached. You can download the new certificate from any of these communications. You can also download it here:


    https://support.ecgrid.com/en/support/solutions/articles/6000256716-target-lorendata-as2-configuration

     

    2.     If you have access to the ECGrid portal through the Enhanced Support subscription, you can navigate to the new certificate on your ECGrid Portal site, by going to Mailbox/Connection/AS2 and clicking on the bottom certificate, with an expiration date of 05/07/28 and serial number of 01D208:

Second Action Item: Testing 

 

Once you send a successful file to the new certificate, whether test or production, ECGrid’s AS2 Server will automatically update your AS2 profile to the new certificate. (.txt files will not be successful and will not trigger the update on ECGrid's side.) You can either send a normal production EDI file to one of Target’s EDI IDs or you can send any EDI file to ZZ*ECGRIDTESTP to activate the new certificate, but you MUST send at least 1 file. 

 

**As a reminder, once our network receives a successful test or file from your AS2 server, we immediately and automatically update your profile to the new certificate on our end and your change is complete!
