RE: [ebxml-msg] Pull'ing a specific document
Hello 
Makesh,

 

We 
heard this requirement previously from German government 
users.

 

There 
is a feature called sub-channels (see section 2.5.4 of the Part 2) that almost 
does this. If the response message is expected on the MPC 

 

http://receiver.example.com/mpc123

 

then a 
server could offer sub-channels like:

 

http://receiver.example.com/mpc123/[email protected]

 

or 
with an XPath expression that matches SOAP headers. Right now such a convention 
(to use URL query syntax) is not standardized.  But it might be the easiest 
way to handle this.

 

The 
eb3:PullRequest has an open content model, so we could also invent some element 
syntax like

 

<eb3:PullRequest mpc="http://receiver.example.com/mpc123">

    
<eb3:RefToMessageId></eb3:RefToMessageId>

</eb3:PullRequest>

 

But 
this is a really an extension and again, is not standardized right 
now.

Subject: [ebxml-msg] Pull'ing a 
specific document

 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
