AW: [ebxml-bp] ebBP 3/10/2005: schema 2/22 "BusinessTransactionHead" Element

["Sacha Schlegel" <sschlegel@cyclonecommerce.com>]

Hi Monica
 
It is not about the BusinessTransactionHead, as it is not used in any XML instance anyway, I wanted to ask about the businessTransactionRef:
 
<xsd:complexType name="BusinessTransactionActivityType>
...
...
...
   <xsd:attribute name="businessTransactionRef" type="xsd:IDREF" use="required">
     <xsd:annotation>
       <xsd:documentation>The nameID reference for the Business Transaction.</xsd:documentation>
     </xsd:annotation>
   </xsd:attribute>
...
...
...
<xsd:complexType>
 
This documentation could use some more info in the sense of:
 
The BusinessTransactionActivityType reuses previously defined Business Transactions. The businessTransactionRef attribute is used to reference that Business Transaction.
 
Not much adding here, just indicating the importance of this attribute...
 
Sacha

Another one from Sacha: More fully explain how BTs maps to patterns
(through BusinessTransactionHead).Comments welcome on schema annotation
update.
Sacha, please advise if an example helps explain this and if more detail
is required.  Thanks.

Change from:

the Business Transaction Head replaces the Business Transaction element.
A Business Transaction is a set of business information and business
signal exchanges amongst partners that occurs in an agreed upon format
and sequence (as supported by the patterns). In v2.0, the Business
Transaction Head, the concrete set of BT patterns and the Data Exchange
element (allows pattern specialization) enable business exchange through
a defined pattern..</xsd:documentation>
