[ebxml-cppa] [ebxml-dev] Question on Routing a Payload to BizTransaction Activity

[Martin W Sachs <mwsachs@us.ibm.com>]

The following was just posted to ebXML-dev.  I am forwarding it to the CPPA
list in case not everyone is looking at ebXML-dev.

Someone please respond on ebxml-dev and ebxml-CPPA.

Regards,
Marty

Hi,

I have two questions regarding payloads destined for a BTA.

1. In the ebCPP/A specs, can we specify the Action Context element for
following biz actions? :
        business action =  ReceiptAcknowledgment
        business action =  AcceptanceAcknowledgment
        business action =  Exception
The examples indicate that there is no ActionContext for actions
carrying business signals.

If the examples are correct then,
How does CPA specify that a ReceiptAcknowledgement is intended for
a specific business transaction? For Business Action Messages,
ActionContext can be used, or in absence of ActionContext we can
simply use the fact that actionName is unique within a
process-specification.
But for signals this actionName is "ReceiptAcknowledgment" ,
"AcceptanceAcknowledgment", "Exception". This means no routing
information is available for routing signals to correct business
transaction.

Also, What exactly "OriginalMessageIdentifier" and
"OriginalDocumentIdentifier" stand for in the Business signal XSD ?

2. Can attachments and primary document in a document envelope have same
templates?
If yes, how to differentiate the two given that a payload in lower ebXML
stack(i.e. in MSH Message) has no attribute stating that
it is an attachment or primary document.

Thanks in advance,
Nandini
