23. Copyright OASIS, 2005 / 2006 UML production rules and CAM templates Schema Assembly Object support Conditional rule support Schema modelling example

24. Copyright OASIS, 2005 Scenario Management n The service provider can post new releases of business processes to the registry and establish connections to the e-Service business applications using discreet CPA profiles that point to the appropriate production and test environments. n Partners then simply select the appropriate CPA ID to connect to. n Participant organization profiles, CPAs, schemas and business rule templates are all managed by the registry and are classified according to the domain structure in the e-Service community.

25. Copyright OASIS, 2005 Technology Constraints n Cross-platform support n Work with common SQL databases n Must be scalable and extensible n Easy integration to back-end systems n Should use open public and industry standards wherever possible n Security must be robust without being restrictive

26. Copyright OASIS, 2005 Processing Constraints n Use XML based messaging n Support exchange of PDF format document attachments; as large as 50Mb size and up n Handle peak daily volume of 1,000+ exchanges n Be easy to deploy for typical internet enabled partners server environment n Provide self-service facilities with versioning n Secure and legally sound approach that extends existing paper based process authentication and intent models

32. Copyright OASIS, 2005 Functional Summary n Each hub consists of the following functional components: l ebXML messaging server for transaction exchange – configured by CPA definitions l ebXML registry server for management of CPA documents and transaction definitions l Verification component for exchange details – who and what is allowed – (controlled via CPA) l Validation component for exchange transactions – business content information and format received (handled via jCAM XML template scripts) l User interface components to manage exchanges and partners l Transaction handler and integration emulation

33. Copyright OASIS, 2005 Processing Configuration Details Functionality: n n CPA management n n CPA driven validation n n Registry interfacing n n Content validation n n Messaging handling

34. Copyright OASIS, 2005 / 2006 Demonstration Scenario walk-through Message exchanges Data handler (application integration emulation) CPA setup CPA validation Transaction validation Error handling

35. Copyright OASIS, 2005 Scenario Walkthrough n We have two servers setup, each with Hermes server, Cyclone server, and then one with the Registry servers as well. n The two servers exchange messages with one acting as the central server (hub) that references the Registry to validate the CPA details it receives. This also runs the jCAM service to check transactions. n The data integration servlets provide the backend integration and workflow control

36. Copyright OASIS, 2005 Message Exchanges n Basic interchange will be demonstrated where: 1. Successful message exchange round trip 2. CPA editing and management with registry 3. CPA validation error handling 4. jCAM validation error handling 5. Review of data handler and data integration handling functionality 6. Message management facilities and CPA
