[ebBP] 11/13/2003: Mapping BPSS 1.01 - Migration to Newer Versions

["Monica J. Martin" <Monica.Martin@Sun.COM>]

This short but concise list will help us address migration parameters 
for 1.01-->1.1 and beyond.  See Work Item 6 on ebBP OASIS page. 
Hopefully this list will assist our team members and users in 
understanding the progress that has been made.

    * Correct bugs identified in 1.01.
    * Loosened dependency to UMM
    * Business Tranaction Protocol: NOF has been removed and replaced by
      an Acceptance Acknowledgment on the response. It should greatly
      improve the throughput of the protocol.
    * The exception model has been improved and made consistent to
      correct 1.01.
    * For re-usability purposes, many Business Transaction attributes
      have been moved to the Business Transaction Activity level.
    * Multi-party collaboration has been improved and explained to be
      more operable.
    * Cleaned up the control flow particularly isConcurrent, allowance
      of multiple occurrences of BTA, addition of a time out on the
      fork, and addition of a decision box.
    * Added support for namespaces and multiple schema specifications
      for Business Document formats.
    * Added many more explanations to promote interoperability.
    * Concentrated on enabling backwards compatiblity as much as
      possible (at a minimum to v1.05).

Thanks to JJ Dubray who compiled the initial list.  We will step through 
this briefly on Monday's call 17 Nov.
