Re: [ebxml-iic] FW: starting a thread on upgrading test casescripting

Hi Jacques

This looks very interesting.

Stephen Green of the UBL TC just provided a starting set of Universal
Business Processes, that use general UBL or the Small Business Subset
(SBS) of UBL.

The Universal Business Processes includes the following business
documents of UBL 1.0:

Order   
Order Response   
Order Response Simple   
Order Change 
Order Cancellation   
Despatch Advice   
Receipt Advice 
Invoice  

and the following business processes are provided:

Create Order - not allowing for order modification by seller 
Create Order - allowing for order modification by seller 
Change Order - not allowing for order modification by seller 
Change Order - allowing for order modification by seller 
Cancel Order - not allowing for denial or acceptance response 
Cancel Order - allowing denial or acceptance response 
Forward Order - sending as a notification, without response 
Forward Order Response - sending as a notification, without further
response 
Forward Order Response Simple - sending as a notification, without
further response 
Forward Order Change - sending as a notification, without response 
Notify Despatch - sending as a notification, without response 
Notify Receipt - sending as a notification, without response 
Present Invoice - sending as a notification, without response 

The business processes use business signals but no timers (could be
added for IIC interop)

The business processes include just a single business transaction. The
reasoning behind this is that it is the basic on which everyone can
agree. It provides for the highest chance of adoption and just takes
high complexity out of the picture and thus allows even the small guys
to participate. If an industry or trading partners want to build
complexer business collaborations they can do so by reusing the given
business transactions into whatever they want.

Obviously the Universal Business Processes are not sufficient to
thoroughly test complex business collaborations. For those tests
complexer business collaborations should be build.

Unfortunately I do not know enough about the IIC interop setup but with
the given Universal Business Language 1.0 ebBP 2.0.1 Business Process
Definitions you would have "real world" business processes and "real
world" XML business documents. 

Something to consider for ebXML IIC ;)

Regards

Sacha
