AWS Transfer Family AS2 now supports receipts of MDNs asynchronously

AWS Transfer Family Updates

AWS Transfer Family now supports receiving Message Disposition Notifications (MDNs) asynchronously for messages sent to trading partners over Applicability Statement 2 (AS2). This feature allows for the migration of AS2 workflows to Transfer Family while maintaining interoperability with trading partners, regardless of their message processing times or network requirements.

This update is particularly beneficial for organizations in healthcare, life sciences, retail, manufacturing, and supply chain sectors that rely on Transfer Family for secure AS2-based data exchange with trading partners and regulatory bodies.

With this launch, Transfer Family supports both synchronous and asynchronous MDN requests, ensuring compatibility with partner AS2 systems that have extended processing times or high latency. You can now send AS2 messages while requesting MDNs asynchronously over a separate TLS connection.
