Chem eStandards Processes and Process Models
Each Chem eStandards Process Archive enables you to implement a Chem eStandards process. Each of these processes can be described as following one of a few very basic process models. The differences between the specific Chem eStandards processes are mostly in the business documents that the webMethods Chem eStandards Modulepasses back and forth and how the Module handles those business documents.
In
Concepts , the basic overview of Chem eStandards processes was presented using the example of the Chem eStandards
OrderCreate process. This process is an example of a two-action asynchronous process model. Chem eStandards processes follow one of the three types of process models:
One-action asynchronous. The initiating trading partner sends an asynchronous request, and the receiving trading partner sends a receipt acknowledgment. The webMethods
Chem eStandards Module contains two process model templates for the one-action asynchronous model: one template for the initiator and one template for the fulfiller. For information about these process model templates, see
Customizing a Process Model Template.
Two-action asynchronous. The initiating trading partner sends an asynchronous request, and the receiving trading partner sends a receipt acknowledgment. The webMethods
Chem eStandards Module contains two process model templates for the one‐action asynchronous model: one template for the initiator and one template for the fulfiller. For information about these process model templates, see
Customizing a Process Model Template.
Two-action synchronous.The initiating trading partner sends a synchronous request, and the receiving trading partner does not need to send a receipt acknowledgment. Next, the receiving partner sends a synchronous response document, and the initiating partner does not need to send a receipt acknowledgment. This model is currently not used in the Chem eStandards environment.
