DBA 2nd iteration Solution Architecture
Introduction
Approach: we follow the SA as was done for Intermediation (1st iteration)
Scope and focus
- Within scope
- Modify DO/DE Mocks for S&N en Lookup patterns
- Common component voor Cross-border subscriptions (optional for MS to use, i.e. not mandatory)
- Event Notification + Evidence Lookup flavour, in line with PSA 2nd iteration
- Outside scope
- Resend a subscription request in case of an error (instead the possibility to inspect the logs and manually resend a request is deemed sufficient (MVP))
- Include the Evidence in the notification (instead pure notification + lookup)
- Attribute Lookup

DBA OOP TS solution
Maybe this is the place to insert explanation of the subscription application collaboration (and notification?), i.e. front-end/back-end w.r.t. notifications.
The shared solution for the OOP TS consists of all common functionality of the OOP technical system. Most of the common OOP TS components need to be implemented by the data requestor and data transferor, although the OOP TS uses central components as well.
Image might need an update, i.e. depict S&N and LKP shared stuff
The OOP TS domain (WP5) provide the data requestor and data transferor with the components needed for
- cross-border subscription and notification messages
- performing the lookup of an evidence
In the MVP the DBA pilot uses one type of subscription message and one type on notification message that all DC’s and DP’s involved will use. The subscription message is for subscribing to cross-border events generated at the DP. The notification message is for notifying the DC of such events. If the DC desires the Evidence can be retrieved using the Lookup. This implies an update of the IEM (WP3). There will be just one data provider per Member state: the business register, where the subscription will be recored and where the cross border events are generated, i.e.is the authentic source of company information. The DC will subscribe in one Member State at a time. The DP will notify one Member State at the time. The explicit request and the preview functions won't be needed, in both interaction patterns there is no user involvement.
Process realisation
The process realization is dealt with per pattern with S&N split in two as they are independently triggered.
Subscription
Based on definition on MVP some rows might disappear, i.e. for now the tables are complete w.r.t. PSA.

Component description
example
Component | Short description of its use |
Evidence service locator (ESL) configuration file | As the DBA pilot’s MVP uses just one type of evidence, with just one data provider per Member state (on NUTS0 level), there is no need for dynamic discovery of the data provider and its data services. For the DBA pilot it is sufficient to use a simple configuration file with the required elements (member state and participant id). |
SMP | For each evidence request and response, information on the receivers Access Point (URL) and its certificates are needed. Each member state hosts an SMP for this purpose. Before sending a request or response, the sending party queries the SMP of the receiver to get this info. |
DNS & SML | As there are multiple SMP’s, the sending party needs to know where to find the SMP of the receiver to get the actual metadata. This location can be found in the centrally CEF-hosted DNS, that will be queried by the access point of the sending member state.
DNS entries will be created from the registration of SMP’s: the SML, which is also centrally hosted by CEF. |
eDelivery AS4 gateway | This component – also referred to as eDelivery access point – handles the secure transfer of the data, including encryption and decryption as well as signing/sealing and validating signatures/seals. |
DE4A Connector | The DE4A connector is the reference software that data requestors and data transferors can use to connect to the OOP TS. This eases the work by abstracting the communication with the components. |

- Data providing member state - Data provider - Evidence type - Company identification (eIDASLegalPersonID, eIDASLegalName) - Evidence (XML) |
DC-specific solution
The DC specific solution is different for every DC. The DC specific solution architecture will be specified in the design document of the pilot processes (one for each data consumer). Nonetheless the DC-specific solution at a higher level of abstraction show similarities.
The DC specific architecture consists of the evaluator and requestor specific services. The requestor specific services are typically implemented at Member state level.
