X

The dialogue above is an example. The dialogue X consists of two transactions, A and B, that are inititiated by different parties. The internal flow of a party is determined by the party itself (the figure function names are just examples). The focus of the figure is the common NeBI-interface which shows the transaction pattern for all transactions used in the interface:

a) A transaction request is an http-request holding one ebMS-message including a business document, e g an Order

b) A transaction reply is a new http-request holding one ebMS-message containing an MSH-ack or Error

Resending, heart-beat and alarm

1. Resending on http-levelIf http-return is not received for an http-request, then:

• TSS will resend the http-request every 4min 7times

• Eltel will resend the http-request every 120s during 24h

2. Resending on transaction levelIf MSH-ack (Message Service Handler Acknowledgment) is not received for a transaction, then:

• TSS will resend the trans every 10 minutes during 24h (given http-return is received, see 1 above)

• Relacom will resend the trans with increasing interval during 24h

• Eltel will resend the trans every 10 minutes during 24h (given http-return is received, see 1 above)

3. Heart-beatTSS sends fictitious orders (also called Topaz-order) every 15 minutes to be able to supervise the functionality of the flow also when normal traffic is low.

4. Transaction alarm• TSS If OA is not received by TSS within X minutes after OR is sent,

TSS supervision staff will be notified (historically called 15-minutes alarm).The time is configurable per business agreement.

• Relacom will supervise TSS heart-beat

• Eltel will supervise TSS heart-beat

This slide describes the resending pattern, heart-beats and alarms for (missing) events in the NeBI interface.All values are configurable. Current values are indicated.

Comments to c)

• If Supplier wants payment for the cancelled order, Reason.Name is set to 'faktureras’ in OC and ESN2+OE are sent in an ExecuteOrder dialogue.

• In rare occasions, Supplier will not able to send ”OC faktureras”. This will not give TSS problems.

Dialogue rules

1. A dialogue defines a transaction pattern between two parties

2. A conversation is an instance of a dialogue. It is identified by its conversationId which must be unique.

3. Every transaction contains a conversationId so that the receiving part can associate the transaction with a conversation

dokID: Telia AB CIO Office nr 2002/007/1, rev PI1, 2007-02-15 [Approved: J Alatalo, SIG] sid 16

Inter-dialogue rules 1Within each dialogue the process rules are illustrated by the sequence diagrams in the previous slides. The following slides describe inter-dialogue rules that are rules that apply to concurrent dialogues that concern the same order.

Principal rules

1. The first dialogue for every order is NegotiateOrder

2. Concurrent dialogues concerning the same order are permitted

3. Transactions are not permitted towards an order with a completed ExecuteOrder dialogue

4. An order is identified by its OrderId which must be uniqueThe rule means that every NegotiateOrder dialogue concerns a new order with a unique orderid (see below for order resend though).When a new unique order is rejected in the NegotiateOrder dialogue using DialogueCancellation, then the order, including its orderid, is regarded as non-existant. The orderid of the rejected order may be reused in a new NegotiateOrder dialogue.

In a dialogue of type ”NegotiateOrder with order content negotiation” all transactions, possibly including multiple OrderRequest transactions operate on the same order, thus using the same orderId.

5. Resending an order is allowed if the “resend flag” is setWhen resending, the order content is identical, apart from the resend flag. Resending is done when an order needs to be sent through the regular channel at a time when it has already reached Supplier through a reserve channel.

Inter-dialogue rules 2

Exceptions, additions and explanations

1. The dialogue NegotiateOrder must be finished before starting ExecuteOrder [OA before ESN/OE]Info: Some violation of the rule occurs for technical reasons, since the IT components between the business application endpoints not always manage to maintain the original business application transaction sequence. The reason is that the IT components have parallel execution threads. This problem is most common during recovery after a stop.

2. ESN2/OE is not allowed to be sent during an ongoing RenegOrderBySupInfo: If RenegOrderBySup is not responded in a timely manner, the Supplier should contact TSS through other channels.

3. Workreport (ESN2) confirms cancellation request (OCR)[ESN2 = OC + ESN2]Explanation: Supplier does not need to confirm OCR with OC if Supplier sends ESN2 in the dialogue ExecuteOrder, see slide CancelOrder.

4. In the dialogue RenegOrderBySup, an ”impossible” orderchange (OUR) as an answer to OUPR may be rejected by the SupplierInfo: Subsequent status reporting (ESN/OE) is allowed, but cannot be handled by TSS. Manual routines must be used.

5. A new dialogue RenegOrderBySup may be initiated while a RenegOrderBySup is ongoingInfo: TSS will however reject the new RenegOrderBySup. Supplier must wait for the ongoing dialogue to complete or contact TSS through other channels in order to solve the problem.
