Incident Management
SMT - Workload Details
The volume of opened and handled SMT tickets decreased slightly in February compared to the month before, but not significantly. The peak of requests in January and February 2023 is due to the large number of renew/issuing of PKI Certificates as the deadline to renew PKI certificates from T-Systems to CommisSign was the 31/01/2023. In February 2024, there were a lot of questions from users on Domibus migration, the FS plugin usage, Docker versions available for Domibus, AS4 connectivity test requests, etc.
Email Interaction
For eDelivery, received mails were related to:
- Requests for AS4 connectivity test with SHAOKE (Chinese logistics company), Everysite
- eDelivery conformance tests: ongoing tests on new platform for OpenTunnel, OpenText and Harmony successfully passed the tests (OpenText on the ‘old’ platform, Harmony on the ‘new’ GITB) and their solution was published on the AS4 conformant solution page on Digital website.
- Answers for the “Public Consultations on eDelivery AS4 profile 2.0 and eDelivery SMP profile 2.0”
- Questions from users: Domibus (Domibus 5.1.1 upgrade issues with JMS plugin, Domibus 5.1.2 and active MQ Broker, WS plugin behaviour, Docker questions, Domibus 5.1.2 and case sensitivity in ListPendingMessages, Domibus migration to 5.0.6 (EUCEG), certificate and elliptic curve, multitenancy and FS plugin), SML/SMP (SMP/SMK certificate update/renewal), PKI certificates (UDB, EUCEG, DECIDE, CixP, PCN), TAPAS (ICS2 connectivity test assistance requests (re-directed to the National service desks), onboarding request forwarded to National Helpdesk), followup of issues raised to Oracle support)
- There was a total of 744 emails in the FMB. We have removed 59 emails for SML Inconsistency, 16 alerts, 120 xmatters and 9 emails from PKI CommisSign from the count, which makes a total of 540 received mails for the reporting month.
PKI
In February 2024, 5 certificates were issued: 1 ECDB, 1 PCN, 2 DECIDE (European Council), 1 UDB.
