The eDelivery team is opening a Public Consultation on a new Draft Specification of the eDelivery BDXL profile 2.0, available here. The proposed specification was designed to work together with the Draft Specification of the updated eDelivery AS4 profile 2.0 and the updated eDelivery SMP profile 2.0. These profiles have been updated based after an initial public consultation, and they are now open for a second public consultation.

In direct response to feedback received during the initial consultation process concerning the eDelivery AS4 and SMP 2.0 profiles, the eDelivery team introduced significant updates to the eDelivery BDXL profile, now designated as BDXL 2.0 draft. These enhancements directly address stakeholder concerns and suggestions to use different service field values for the U-NAPTR records, proposing the use of the value “Meta:SMP2” for publishing links to OASIS SMP 2.0 documents. 

Considering that multiple DNS records may need to be published during the network transition from SMP 1.0 to SMP 2.0, the network can decide to refrain from adding the duplicate “Meta:SMP2” records and use the “Meta:SMP” record for both SMP 1.0 and SMP 2.0. This approach provides for a more canonical profiling of the standards without preventing practical operational alternatives where needed. 

Please post your comments on this page or send them to EC-EDELIVERY-SUPPORT@ec.europa.eu with [eDelivery BDXL profile version 2.0] in the title of the email.
