odette file transfer protocol
This web site provides general information about Odette's communications
work.
EDI requires :
message standards (ODETTE messages, ODETTE subsets
of EDIFACT),
syntax standards
and communication standards.
This web site gives an overview of the methods involved in the
physical sending of EDI data.
Just as message syntax requires some form of standardisation, so do the
lower levels of communication carried out between the computer
systems and network facilities used by different trading partners.
The reason is that many companies communicating across a network have
widely differing machines and software.
A single dedicated connection between one system and another is acceptable
while there are only two systems trying to communicate. When there
are interconnections between several companies, things become more complex
and more expensive.
A company which connects with several trading partners will need to set
up appropriate conversion facilities for each of them
if they all have different computer systems.
This problem can be reduced if the companies involved use a communication
method which adheres to a common standard. Nevertheless, there
are several possible communication methods, all of them having their own
advantages and disadvantages, as described in the following pages.
The OFTP and Industry
OFTP is now used by most major European Motor Manufacturers and their
suppliers. It is also used by the chemical industry, white goods manufacturers
and is currently being adopted by other sectors such as banking.
OFTP and networks
After its use on X25 network, OFTP is now available in TCP/IP through
the European automobile
extranet ENX, and its American counterpart ANX, interconnection
of the local area networks of the companies subscribed through private
virtual networks (VPN).
