WBI Connect - B2B Capabilities

B2B Capabilities are defined at the community participant level and define document types and attributes for a participant as both a source and target for specific document flow types



11

WBI Connect - Partner Connections

Connections define the processing documents between the hub and participants and define message attributes, transport protocol, document processing action, and gateway specifications



12

WBI Connect Security

Support for authentication, authorization, encryption services, and audit/non-repudiation

WebSphere BI Connect integrated certificate management via private secured keystore

System Security● Access control using permission model for configuring and enforcing user/developer access rights● Ability to restrict document routing and SOAP operations ● Transport-layer security (SSL) provides server-based and client-based authentication● Provides for concurrent support of digital certificates from multiple certificate authorities

Document Security● Supports encryption / decryption and digital signatures● Ability to secure and validate the authenticity of documents

Full support for proxy and reverse proxy services

Integrated Data Repository

Profiles● Partner, Certificates, Gateways, Users, Groups, Contacts, Addresses

Guidelines● Guideline definitions by document type● Can be unique at a partner, channel, or destination level

Non-repudiation● Stores origin, transport, packaging, and both the original and final documents● Configurable data retention periods

Process State● Maintains state for conversation management (e.g. RosettaNet)● Tracks time-to-perform, time-to-ack, non-repudiation and authorization requirements, retry counts, failure and success

conditions, processing timestampsTrading Activity

● Tracks individual document activity, including packaging, protocol, disposition, and business channel process activity● Summary views facilitate activity reporting

Events● Log system and document exchange events, e.g., success, failure, or in progress● Summary views facilitate aggregated event reporting and rapid problem determination in high volume trading

environments

1. Partner posts document to Receiver via HTTPS with clientauthentication required.

2. Receiver authenticates trading partner against database ofauthorized client certificates and receives document data via POST.

3. Receiver writes raw data from POST, plus metadata (source IP,certificates, etc.) to queue on Shared Storage via NFS.

4. Document Manager reads raw and meta data and saves inbounddocument to non-repudiation directory on Shared Storage.

5. Document Manager saves inbound document location pointer toDatabase via J DBC.

6. Document Manager processes data to destination format (validation,transformation, etc.) and saves destination document to non-repudiation directory on Shared Storage.

7. Document Manager saves destination document meta data anddocument location pointer to Database via J DBC.

8. Document Manager delivers data to Hub Owner via HTTPS.
