configuration choices, message QoS.
Message Pull Feature
Message Receiver is Polling the Message Sender
Benefit: Supports Small and Medium Size Enterprises
Consumer “receives” messages by pulling them from Sender
Occasionally connected, no fixed IP address, behind firewalls
Message Partition Channels
Messages assigned to channels
Supports priority handling
Message Pulling Feature
Deliver

Submit
Message

Generated by requesting MSH (not application)
Targets a channel, secured/ authorized for the channel
Pulled Message

Sender application need not be “pull-aware”
PullRequest Signal

AS4 Profile
Message packaging governed by ebMS 3.0
Support for both document push and pull
message exchange choreographies
Message security governed by WS-Security
with added support for payload compression
Support for an AS2-like business-level NonRepudiation Receipt (MDN)
Reception Awareness – “just enough” reliable
messaging (similar to AS2 and ebMS 2.0)
AS4 compared to AS2
AS4 has comparable features to AS2 including:
Document push message exchange patterns
Support for Non-Repudiation Receipts
Support for “lightweight” reliable messaging
Support for common security aspects like digital signatures,
encryption, and payload compression
AS4 additionally supports the following
features not available in AS2:
Document pull message exchange pattern including support
for secure access to MPCs
Native support for Web Services
Support for “lightweight” client implementations
ebMS3/AS4 Implementations

Testing and Certification
Drummond Group is planning for the following
upcoming testing events:
A week-long “virtual” BAKEOFF ideally in early
December 2010 to demonstrate AS4/ebMS3
interoperability
Followed by a live BAKEOFF event at a TBD
conference or expo in early 2011
A full-matrix interoperability Certification Test in
1H2011
Perhaps some of these testing events will be
sponsored or co-sponsored by OASIS
ebXML Messaging 3.0 Part 2:
Advanced Features
OASIS ebXML Messaging TC
New features in Part 2
Multi-hop messaging (not in this presentation)
Message Bundling
Messages containing multiple user message units
Large Message Handling
Messaging across ebMS intermediaries
Supports SME-to-SME exchanges
AS2 restart and AS4 compression
New splitting, joining and message compression
protocol
Variants in MEP Execution
Selective pulling, alternate MEPs
Message Bundling
Message Bundling
High-end, optional feature
Motivated by need to support efficient (very) high
volume exchanges of (small) documents
Thin, generally useful, layer over core MSH
functionality that adds little complexity to an MSH
Typical applications:
High volume, non real-time transactions involving
small documents
Event reporting and data synchronization
Any legacy batch application
Message Bundling
A ebMS “bundle” contains
multiple “user messages”
Similar to EDIFACT concept
of “exchanges” containing
“messages”
SOAP with Attachments:
MIME envelope
MIME part
• eb3:Messaging
• Primary unit header
• Secondary unit(s)
header
• Other SOAP header(s) for
security, reliability etc.
A “bundle” has no identity:
Routing and processing
configuration is based on a
designated user message
unit (the primary)
Primary unit is first unit in
eb3:Messaging container
Other units are added as
secondary units
SOAP envelope / header
MIME part(s)
SOAP Body
Payload(s) related to primary
message unit
MIME part(s)
Payload(s) related to
secondary message unit(s)
Requirements and Goals
Bundling reduces MSH processing overhead
Units are still submitted and delivered individually
Consistent interface for applications
Bundling configuration is a partner agreement
feature
Transport, security, reliable messaging
Both push and pull supported (sync not recommended)
Specify “compatible” units, max delay, size etc.
Bundling and SOAP processing
Bundling adds limited complexity to an ebMS 3.0
engine
Bundling composes with other advanced features
Example
Message unit type A
Message unit type B and C
Compatible with A only
Max delay 60 seconds, max bundle size 5 MB
Size ranges from 10 to 40 KB
A messages units will never be secondary units, except with other A
units
Compatible with A, B and C
Max delay 10 minutes, max bundle size 5 MB
Size ranges from to 20 to 60 KB
B and C message units will be typically bundled with an A message
unit if one is submitted within 9 minutes; otherwise as B/C bundles
Message unit type D
Compatible with A, B, C and D
Max delay 15 minutes, max bundle size 5 MB
Size ranges from 1 MB to 8 MB
D message units may bundle with other units if they are small,
otherwise they will be transmitted as standalone messages

Message Splitting, Joining
and Compression
Background and context
Size of B2B messages continues to increase…
Operational issues of (very) large messages:
Failed transfers cause unnecessary retransmission
of data
(Network) components impose size limits
Temporary storage of MSH
Delays in store-and-forward intermediaries become
unacceptable
Expensive overlap in infrastructures:
Web Services / ebXML / SOA-based exchanges
EDI / ebXML
Managed File Transfer (MFT) and its protocols
Large File Handling in ebMS 3
AS2 Restart feature
AS4 compression
HTTP feature rather than AS2 feature
Limited to “push”, no support for “pull” mode
Per payload compression
Split, Join, Compress protocol
Large message is split by sending MSH and
reassembled by (ultimate) receiving MSH
MSHs exchange “fragment” SOAP messages,
controlled by new MessageFragment SOAP
header
Optional full message compression feature
SOAP Processing
MessageFragment can be used by non-ebMS protocols
In ebMS 3 binding, splitting occurs in sending MSH:
Each fragment contains:
In ebMS 3 binding, a subset of the eb3:Messaging header
A MessageFragment header
One payload containing a subrange of the input message
Compression option
After ebMS packaging (SOAP, MIME)
After bundling (if bundling is used)
Prior to security and RM processing
Algorithm agreed among partners
Applies to MIME package: payloads, SOAP / MIME headers
Fragments can be pushed and pulled
Compose with Bundling
GDSN Case Study:
Other case studies
eCom 2.6 order (11 docs, 83K), UBL 2.0 (13 docs,
11.8K), bz2/zlib compression: worst case 8%
Comparison with payload compression:
23 sample GDSN 2.7 messages, total 306K
ebMS3 eb3:UserMessage header info added:
adds 19K (6%)
Total after bz2 compression: 13K, i.e. 4%
Best case 14%; worst case 25%
Use bundle, split and compress to “optimize”
message sizes
Variants in MEP Execution
Variants in MEP Execution
Selective Pulling
New mechanism to “pull” a specific message
E.g., the response message to a request (using its
eb3:RefToMessageId),
E.g. a subsequent related message (based on
eb3:ConversationId)
Alternate MEPs
New fallback mechanism for synchronous
exchanges
Mechanism to pull a response, if the MSH is aware it is
unable to produce a timely synchronous response

ebMS 3.0 Parts 1, 2 and AS4
B2B protocol with the broadest coverage of
user deployment scenarios
Push, Pull and Synchronous exchanges
From light-weight clients to high-end B2B gateways
Point-to-point exchange and multi-hop exchanges
From occasional exchanges to very high volume
exchanges
From small message exchanges to very large
message exchanges
New functionality that today
Is not in any other WS-* specification
Only exists in (industry) niche B2B protocols
Is handled (redundantly) at the application layer
