Makesh,
This sounds a bit like interfacing with an RSS server. Otherwise this functionality is typically backend application enabled - from the payload - rather than the messaging system.
I know in RSS world people can pull delivery packages out of sequence - so priority items, or priority customers get handled first.
I assume something similar to that is what they are looking - so it would require some customization involving a delivery queue - in combination with the messaging server - so that you instruct the queue to peel a package off and route it to the AS4 server for dispatch. So the first thing you get is a notification of a package having been added to the queue - its size, priority and its queue id # - and then you issue a request message back to the server - and it releases it from the queue at that point for actual delivery.
Thanks, DW

Hi
In initial conversations with partners/customers over AS4, I have repeatedly heard the request to be able to Pull a particular document. The unique identifier could be based on the UserMessage that has been exchanged earlier e.g. PO # if a PO Message has been sent earlier.
Is there provision in the current spec to be able to support that ? My understanding is that it is a generic Pull where the next available document is sent in the response.
Any advice please ?
Thanks
Makesh
