Summary

This webinar provided a practical, step-by-step guide on how to set up and use Dynamic Discovery with Domibus – the Building Block's sample software implementing the eDelivery AS4 profile.

The webinar was designed for those who are already familiar with the theoretical foundations of Dynamic Discovery that were already presented in our previous webinar on this topic and proceeded to demonstrate its practical usage: how to register participants, configure necessary properties, send and receive AS4 messages, and manage both successful and failed message exchanges.

Who should attend

This webinar was designed for technical users, including Access Point administrators and developers who use or plan to use Domibus for Dynamic Discovery.

Attendees were encouraged to review foundational materials beforehand to get the most value from the presentation.

What to expect

A hands-on demonstration of how to configure Domibus for Dynamic Discovery, with real-world examples of message exchanges.

Clear guidance on configuring PMode settings, Domibus properties and handling digital certificates.

An understanding of how to manage failed and successful message transmissions by updating metadata in DomiSMP.

A Q&A session addressing questions about Dynamic Discovery and Domibus configuration.

What not to expect

✖️

Basic introduction to Dynamic Discovery: We assume attendees are familiar with the fundamentals of Dynamic Discovery, which leverages the eDelivery profile's Dynamic Sender and Dynamic Receiver enhancements in an eDelivery network based on the eDelivery SMP profile, an open technical specification for publishing service metadata within a 4-corner network, and the eDelivery BDXL profile, an open technical specification for locating service metadata within such a network.

We recommend the following to learn more about Dynamic Discovery:

  • The recording and slides from our 2023 webinar for a detailed introduction to the topic.
  • The video introducing Dynamic Delegation Discovery System (DDDS) infrastructure.
  • The video tutorial on eDelivery Dynamic Discover Client (DDC) for how to validate SMP & SML entries.

✖️

Installation of eDelivery software or related components: This webinar will not cover the installation of Domibus, DomiSMP or DomiSML. Please refer to our documentation for installation instructions.

✖️

Static configuration setup: The focus will be on Dynamic Discovery. For instructions on static configuration, refer to the recordings of the specific hands-on webinars from July 2022 & September 2022.

✖️

End-to-end Peppol configuration: While some of the content may apply to Peppol users, this session is based on eDelivery specifications and will not include a complete Peppol-specific setup.

About Building Blocks

The Building Blocks are standards-based open and reusable digital solutions that enable basic capabilities, such as trusted authentication and secure data exchange. They offer basic capabilities that can be used in any European project to facilitate the delivery of digital public services across borders.

Deployed alone or as a portfolio, the Building Blocks allow data to become the digital lifeblood of modern services, built on the principle of interoperability. The Building Blocks implement the provisions of the eIDAS regulation on authentication and trust services in the internal market, a global legal and technical reference in secure, trusted cross-border authentication.

The role of the Building Blocks can also be seen in the digitisation and innovation of market processes. Digital solutions that respect a common standard open up balanced competition within the internal market, along with the door to innovative new processes and a greening of old, paper-based business processes.

About DIGITAL Europe Programme

The Digital Europe Programme introduced some organisational changes to the provision of cross-border interoperable digital services deployed under it. This includes focused efforts to support the digital transformation of public administrations throughout Europe.

The Digital Europe Portal is the home of the eIDAS enabler Building Blocks: eDelivery, eIDeInvoicing, eSignature and OOTS. It is the one-stop shop for information about the Building Blocks. The portal provides access to tools, services and software that can be used in any European project to facilitate the delivery of digital public services across borders.
