CEF eDelivery: Delay in Domibus 4.0 Release

European Commission 2017

The European Commission duly informs users that the release of Domibus 4.0 has been delayed.

The release candidate is currently planned for 15th June 2018 and the final release is planned for 21st September 2018. The main feature of Domibus 4.0 is the multi-tenancy capacity that will allow the use of the same Access Point for different domains.

The CEF eDelivery Building Block helps users to exchange electronic data and documents with one another in a reliable and trusted way.

CEF eDelivery is based on a distributed model called the “4-corner model”. In this model, the back-end systems of the users don’t exchange data directly with each other but do this through Access Points. These Access Points are conformant to the same technical specifications and therefore capable of communicating with each other. As a result of this, users adopting CEF eDelivery can easily and safely exchange data even if their IT systems were developed independently from each other.

The Domibus 4.0 release will be with a close collaboration between different EU policy projects' IT delivery teams and CEF eDelivery.

Highlights of the Domibus 4.0 release include:

    • Java 8 supported (no longer compatible with JAVA 7)

    • Advanced features for the Admin console:

      • New feature to ping remote access points

      • Keep this history off all the PMode changes
