Can SFTP connector and EDIFACT connector be implemented in Mule Community Edition?

Question

I created a mule application in Mule Enterprise Edition 3.7.3 in Anypoint Studio which has a SFTP connector endpoint and an EDIFACT Connector. It was working fine in the embedded server of Anypoint Studio. When I tried to deploy the application in Mule 3.7.0 standalone Runtime CE, it showed a license error. I want to know, can I use in CE or I need to create my own connectors for both of them. The error is given below :

Answer 1

The problem here is the EDIFACT connector that's only available on EE runtimes and i think that maybe an additional B2B license is needed, SFTP is available for CE.

By default Anypoint Studio uses an Mule Enterprise runtime when running and debugging in Studio. I would recommend to install the CE runtime in Studio so you actually know that what you are developing is able to run on the CE runtime in your instance.

Answer 2

The Community Edition is not licensed to use connectors/features that were specifically built for the Enterprise runtime. The Community Edition can use all of the Community connectors/features. Enterprise runtime can run both community and enterprise connectors.

Anypoint Studio provides the ability to use and execute enterprise features/connectors WITHIN the embedded Enterprise runtime of Studio. Once you need to use those enterprise features/connectors outside of Studio you need a licensed Enterprise runtime.
