RE: [ebxml-bp] [Fwd: [ebxml-msg] Status of MSH configuration by CPA and MSH API]

["Steve Capell" <steve.capell@redwahoo.com>]

For my 20c, the automated configuration of an ebXML MSH from a CPA is one of
the key values of the the whole ebXML architecture and so should remain a
part of any future specs.  The only little issue is that this pre-supposes
that you have an easy way to get a CPA in the first place.  After some
"experiments" we believe that the best route to a CPA is to generate partner
specific deployment CPA's from "abstract" template CPAs that are, in turn,
generated from UMM (FSV) model data.  In this way we are pretty much able to
automate the entire deployment from model data.
