Subject: RE: [ebxml-bp] Manual Operations
in BPSS"
Zinovy,
We at BT have try to model exactly
the same scenario. The presumption is that the BPSS is there to
coordinate the state of systems on both side of the
partnership.
To
make this work in BPSS 1.01 we have had to create 'manual'
BusinessTransactionActivities that in effect run the BPSS Transaction in
reverse.
e.g normal we would expect a
customer to conform that a fault has been cleared after we have fixed
it. However, if they confirm ove rthe phone rather than the B2B we send
a notification to them telling their systems that we had done
this.
In the event of a massive failure
there is currently no BPSS command that is designed to synchronise the states
of two enterprises systems to align with manual transactions. In our
latest Face 2 Face meeting we discussed the ideas around business failures but
this did not come up.
Sorry
Dear all!
I have a practical question. Do we have a
"Manual Operation" in BPSS?
Example: We have 3 party collaboration and one
party has a major network failure (like we saw with American stock exchange
last
week). Can a party perform business
transaction "manually", I mean outside of ebXML (web services) - via
phone, fax or US Post mail and update
results later?
Thanks,
Zinovy
