1. Introduction

This package includes the ebCPPA building blocks for procurement Universal Business Processes. This package introduces the ebXML Collaboration Protocol Agreement and the relationship between ebXML Business Processes and ebXML Collaboration Protocol Profiles and Agreements. The ebCPPA building blocks, namely ebXML CPPA CollaborationRole, ebXML CPPA SimplePart, and ebXML CPPA Packaging elements are building blocks that are provided by this package. This package provides a sample CPA for each Universal Business Process. The CPA template, and certificates which was used is provided. Finally all produced files are presented. The document closes with open issues, references and notices.

2. ebXML Collaboration Protocol Profile and Agreements

This package uses the ebXML Collaboration Protocol Profile and Agreement Specification version 2.0.
An ebXML Collaboration Protocol Agreement (CPA) is an agreement between two trading partners of how to technically implement a collaborative business process.
A typical ebXML CPA document includes the following information:

two parties where each party lists the following:
- party information, such as party name, and party ID's
- public certificates used for encryption, signing, server and client authentication
- all collaboration roles (active role in an ebBP definition) where each collaboration role lists the following:
  - service name (derived from ebBP definition)
  - role name that the party plays
  - list of all actions (derived from ebBP definition) each action can be either
    - a business document that the party receives
    - a business document that the party sends
    - a business signal that the party receives
    - a business signal that the party sends
    each action further lists
    - business transaction characteristics such as confidentiality, authorization, non repudiation requirements.
    - the delivery channel used to receive/send the business document or business signal
- all delivery channels where each delivery channel lists the following:
  - basic messaging characteristics, such as synchronous versus asynchronous messaging, use of acknowledgements, use of signed acknowledgements, activation of duplicate message elimination
  - a transport channel (see below)
  - a document exchange channel (see blow)
- all transport channels where each transport channel lists the following:
  - the selected transport protocol, such as HTTP or SMTP
  - the transport protocol endpoint address, such as a URL or email address
  - the selected secure transport protocol, such as Secure Socket Layer (SSL) for HTTP and reference to the used public certificates
- all document exchange channels where each document exchange lists the following:
  - reliable messaging parameters, such as the number of retries, retry time intervals
  - non repudiation parameters, such as the use of W3C XML digital signature, signature algorithms, signature hash functions, and reference to the used public certificates
  - confidentiality parameters, such as the use of W3C XML encryption, encryption ciphers, and reference to the used public certificates
packaging information for each business document and business signal that is listed in any collaboration role. If XML documents are exchanged, the packaging information typically includes references to the business document and business signal XML schemas. For the target messaging system, such as ebXML messaging version 2.0, the messaging systems message and message service signals XML schemas are also listed
and more details for each listed above

This document includes the required ebXML CPPA building blocks based on the Universal Business Process version 1.0. This includes the CollaborationRole elements for each role participating in the Business Collaboration and, further, this includes the Packaging information.

3. Relationship between ebXML Business Process (ebBP) and ebXML Collaboration Protocol Profile and Agreement (ebCPPA)

The ebXML Business Process Specification provides the means to specify collaborative business processes between two or more parties. An ebBP definition does not list parties but lists "roles" that take action in the collaboration. Collaborative business processes are a choreography of individual business transactions. ebBP provides a standardized set of common business transaction patterns (Commercial Transaction, Notification, Request-Response to name just a few). Each business transaction lists the business documents (for example by referencing a UBL invoice) that are exchanged during its execution but also the business signals which are exchanged during its execution. Business signals are used to align the collaborative state between the trading partners. The ebBP further provides the means to set business related quality of service attributes, such as request for confidentiality, request for non repudiation, request for guaranteed delivery and more.
An ebXML CPA binds two trading partners to the roles participating in a collaborative business process. It further provides all the required technical information of how to execute the collaborative business process, targeting messaging. The CPA lists all business documents as well as all business signals that can be exchanged. The CPA further lists the Packaging of these business documents and business signals.
Information given in an ebBP definition is found again in the ebXML CPA.

This package provides all the ebXML CPP or CPA building blocks of the Universal Business Processes that are required to create an ebXML CPA for two trading partners.

4. ebCPPA building blocks

The building blocks are the ebXML CPPA CollaborationRole, SimplePart, and Packaging elements.

4.1. Building block 1: ebCPPA CollaborationRole element

The ebXML CPPA CollaborationRole element references the ebBP definition and derives the "Service" name and type which are used for ebXML Messaging. Further, the ebXML CPPA CollaborationRole lists all business document and business signal exchange for a given Role in the ebBP definition. Each business document and business signal will receive a derived "Action" name.

4.2. Building block 2 and 3: ebCPPA SimplePart and ebCPPA Packaging elements

The ebXML CPPA SimplePart and Packaging elements provide packaging information for each business document and business signal. This information can be used by a messaging system to package the ebXML Messages based on ebXML Messaging Service Specification version 2.0.

5. CPA template for sample CPA of each Universal Business Process production

For the production of valid sample CPA for each Universal Business Process an ebXML CPA template was used. The ebXML CPA template misses CollborationRole's, SimplePart's and Packaging elements. The CPA template lists as the first party Coronation and as the second party Gnaraloo (named after two places in Western Australia). The CPA template is

CPA template

XML digital signature and SSL authentication is used in the CPA. The CPA template already includes the public certificates. The CPA template lists a public certificate for signing and as SSL server certificate but in fact the same certificate is used for both tasks. In this example, self signed certificates must be trusted. In order to test the sample CPA's the private certificates are also provided here.

Private x509 certificate for Coronation..

Private x509 certificate for Gnaraloo.

The password for each certificate is "cyclone" without quotes.

6. Results (ebCPPA building blocks and sample CPA's)

For each Universal Business Process a ebCPPA building blocks file, a sample ebXML CPA, and the ebXML CPA's HTML view was produced.

7. Open Issues

Some issues need future resolution.

ebXML Collaboration Protocol Profile and Agreement Specification version 2.1 will better aligned with ebXML Business Process 2.0.x
ebXML Collaboration Protocol Profile and Agreement Specification version 2.1 SimplePart will be better to reference Business Documents like the UBL Small Business Subset. CPPA Specification 2.0 only supports one Specification. Currently the SimpleParts reference the main UBL specification XML Schemas.
The Universal Business Processes 1.0 ebBP 2.0.x definitions should receive a fix location at doc.oasis-open.org. The ebCPPA ProcessSpecification element must use that new location.
CPA formation parameters can be used to set time information in the CPA.
