Minutes:
- Discussion
about the negotiation BPSS and CPA.
- Inner
collaborations and how they are denoted.
- Clarified
significance of Start elements in the BPSS BinaryCollaboration.
- We’ll
use the combination of CPA and BPSS to enforce that the inner
collaboration has to be started as part of the external collaboration
- Action
Item: Hima to forward the comment to ebXML BPSS team.
- Action
Item: Hima to add a descriptive PreCondition Element to BPSS spec.
- Action
Item: To add xml description to indicate that document has to be included
in the BPSS instance schema for the actual business documents. Also add
comments to add specificationId to identify the
particular element.
- Discussion
about XpathExpression and how it can be used in
the BPSS instance
- Hima mentioned that there exists specificationID
which can be used to identify the particular element for that particular
business document.
- With
this we don’t need Xpath Expression to identify
for the BSI.
- Discussion
about Message
- Jean
will update the message content based on BPSS.
- CpaId would be the CpaId of
the CPA being negotiated.
- Agreed
that party initiating CPA negotiation will generate a CPAID and will be
included in the negotiation messages.
- Exchange
of CPA under construction ---
1. Exchanged with every transaction.
2. Only at the end. This would imply that we need one more business
transaction to send the final CPA
3. Decided to send CPA only at the end (2); both Parties will separately
track the progress of the CPA.
4. Question on who sends the Final CPA…. Would it be the initiator of the
final counter offer or acceptor of final offer?
5. Action Item: Hima to check on who sends
the final CPA.
6. Dale mentioned that there should be a signed CPA as response to a
signed CPA after final CPA is accepted.
7. No counter offer after final CPA is accepted and signing process. There
can only be a reject of the final signed CPA or a signed CPA.
- Question
about document being done by Dale. Is it Schema or some other content
type?
- Jean
has identified that XPATH to be used for identifying what values can be
negotiated? Fine with that…
- Decided
that the NDD will not change during the negotiation; information about
ongoing negotiation state will be in the negotiation messages.
- Any
descriptive text for the BPSS and CPA to be part of the spec. Hima to work on it…
