## Setup and Configuration
### AS4 Gateway Setup
1. **Install AS4 Software**:
```bash
# Option 1: Holodeck B2B (Open Source)
docker run -d \
--name holodeck-b2b \
-p 8080:8080 \
-v /opt/as4-gateway/data:/data \
holodeckb2b/holodeck-b2b:latest
# Option 2: Hermes4AS4
# Download from: https://github.com/hermes4as4/hermes4as4
```
2. **Configure Certificates**:
```bash
# Generate X.509 certificates
openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 365
# Import to keystore
keytool -import -alias as4-cert -file cert.pem -keystore keystore.jks
```

- Storage capacity warnings
## Best Practices
1. **Message Archiving**: Archive all business messages for compliance
2. **Redundancy**: Deploy redundant gateways for high availability
3. **Monitoring**: Set up comprehensive monitoring and alerting
4. **Security**: Regular certificate rotation and security updates
5. **Testing**: Test message flows in staging before production
6. **Documentation**: Document all trading partner configurations
7. **Backup**: Regular backups of message archives and configurations
## Troubleshooting
### AS4 Messages Not Delivered
1. Check trading partner endpoint connectivity
2. Verify certificate validity
3. Check message format compliance
4. Review AS4 gateway logs
### Workflow Failures
1. Check workflow execution logs
2. Verify connector configurations
3. Test individual workflow steps
4. Check database connectivity
### Financial Message Errors
