RosettaNet attributes

This section describes RosettaNet attributes.

Table 96. RosettaNet attributes
Attribute Required Description Restrictions Default
Time To Acknowledge

Yes

The amount of time to wait for a Receipt Acknowledgment before resending the original request. This attribute works in conjunction with Retry Count. The units are in minutes.

The default value is taken from the RosettaNet PIP specification document.

Limited to package or connection 120
Time To Perform

Yes

The amount of time to wait for a response to a request action before sending a failure notification message.

Limited to package or connection
Retry count
Yes

The number of times to send a request when an Receipt Acknowledgment was not received. This attribute works in conjunction with Time to Acknowledge.

For example, with a setting of 3, the request can potentially be sent 4 times (the initial time and the three retries).

The default value is taken from the RosettaNet PIP specification document.

Limited to package or connection 3
Digital Signature Required
No

Indicates whether the PIP message requires a digital signature.

The default value is taken from the RosettaNet PIP specification document.

Limited to package or connection Yes
Non-Repudiation Required

No

Indicates whether to store the original document in the non-repudiation store.

The default value is taken from the RosettaNet PIP specification document.

Limited to package or connection Yes
Non-Repudiation of Receipt Required

No

Indicates whether to store the Receipt Acknowledgement document in the non-repudiation store.

The default value is taken from the RosettaNet PIP specification document.

Limited to package or connection Yes
Sync Supported

Indicates whether the PIP supports synchronous communication.

The default value is provided based on the PIP specification.

Limited to package or connection.

This attribute is available for RNIF 2.0 only.

Sync Ack Required

Indicates whether the PIP requires a synchronous Receipt Acknowledgment.

The default value is provided based on the PIP specification.

Limited to package or connection.

This attribute is available for RNIF 2.0 only.

Global Supply Chain Code
Required for RNIF 1.1

The code identifying the supply chain for the participant's function.

Valid values are:

  • Electronic Components
  • Information Technology
  • Semiconductor Technology
Limited to package or connection
Encryption

This attribute indicates whether encryption should be performed.

Note: This is not the same as SSL encryption.

For the TO side of an exchange (when you are sending documents to a partner), this specifies whether to encrypt the document.

For the FROM side of an exchange (when you are receiving documents from a partner), if the attribute is set to Yes, an RNIF request sent from the partner must be encrypted. If the attribute is set to No, the document from the partner can be encrypted or un-encrypted.

Valid values are:

None
Encryption is not required.
Payload
Encrypt the RosettaNet Service Content only.
Payload and Container
Encrypt the RosettaNet service content and the service header together.
Limited to package or connection.

This attribute is available for RNIF 2.0 only.

None
