Conformance and connectivity testing updates

MD stated that:

• Seeburger is connecting to the test platform
• An additional user registered for AS4 conformance testing (Data Interchange)
• The ENTSOG optional test cases are being implemented

MD stated that:          

A public consultation on the proposed Pull specifications is finalised since 31/08/18.
1) The eDelivery AS4 specifications are updated with an optional Pull module (no other impact for the current specifications) and are expected to be released mid-October.
2) Subsequently we will be releasing a Domibus version (the sample AS4 implementation developed by our team) that fully supports the Pull functionality. This is assigned to Domibus version 4.1 for which the release date will be defined by a public consultation.
3) We plan to add the Pull testing to our Conformance Testing service. This is planned in Q4 2018.

eDelivery reuse

The EUDAMED (European Database on Medical Devices) is planning to re-use eDelivery AS4 in production during 2019. This is an opportunity for solution providers that are offering AS4 software or services. More detailed information will be provided in an upcoming interoperability forum meeting.

We are planning to launch 2 activities with the Informal Cooperation Network for eDelivery until the end of the year:

• Webinar with Informal Cooperation Network for eDelivery members (and extended relevant colleagues). This webinar will be an opportunity for members to prepare "Show and Tell" presentations to share eDelivery national implementation plans and hands-on experience. Additionally, we will lead a discussion about the proposed work to be carried out by the network until the f2f workshop to be held in November 2018 (i.e. creation of a roadmap for eDelivery implementation at national levels) and afterwards (plans to allow cross-border exchanges).
• Workshop with the Informal Cooperation Network for eDelivery. This workshop will be an opportunity to finalise and present the work done by the network on the creation of a roadmap for eDelivery implementation at national levels. We will additionally propose to invite two members to present on their eDelivery national infrastructure and plans to allow cross-border exchanges.
