UCCnetMessageSend collaboration template

The UCCnetMessageSend collaboration template is used to compose messages for and respond to UCCnet according to the values set in the business object.

Note: The UCCnetMessageSend collaboration template supports only schema-based Catalogue Item Notification and Confirmation commands because, at this point in processing, the Product Information Management for Retailers solution has already mapped any incoming publication information notifications based on the UCCnet® Document Type Definition (DTD)) into Catalogue Item Notifications based on the UCCnet XML Schema Definition (XSD)). At the end of processing, the collaboration object converts outgoing XSD-based Catalogue Item Confirmation commands into DTD-based Authorization commands by passing them through appropriate maps. Collaboration-object processes are discussed throughout the following sections using only schema terminology.

The UCCnetMessageSend collaboration template composes messages for and responds to UCCnet according to the values set in the business object. A collaboration object based on this collaboration template can be instantiated from any collaboration object or connector that needs to communicate a Catalogue Item Confirmation command to UCCnet.

Catalogue Item Confirmation commands are used by a demand-side trading partner to do the following:
This collaboration template supports only UCCnet Catalogue Item Confirmation commands required for item synchronization, which include the following:
Command Usage
Review Notify the supply-side trading partner that the demand-side trading partner has reviewed the item data but elects to take no action. The Item Review response leaves an item status open for future synchronization by the demand-side trading partner.
Rejected Notify the supply-side trading partner that the demand-side trading partner has reviewed the item data and has rejected the item. As a result, the item is not added to the demand-side trading partner's systems.
Accepted Notify the supply-side trading partner that the demand-side trading partner has accepted the item data but has not yet fully reviewed the item for authorization. The Item Accepted response leaves an item status open for future approval by the demand-side trading partner.
Synchronized Used to notify the supply-side trading partner that the demand-side trading partner has reviewed the item data and has synchronized the item. As a result, the item is added to the demand-side trading partner's systems.
If a demand-side trading partner does not reject an item, it continues to receive updates on that item. If no Catalogue Item Confirmation command is issued, item changes are received until the subscription, which allows the demand-side trading partner to receive that item, is removed from UCCnet.
