Actors and Transactions

Requester/Performer Integration

The following diagrams illustrate the actors and transactions between the eReC Requester and eReC Performer actors, in scope for the CA:eReC Messaging Interoperability Specification.

Informer/Recipient Integration

The following diagrams illustrate the actors and transactions between the eReC Informer and eReC Recipient actors, in scope for the CA:eReC Messaging Interoperability Specification.

Messaging Compliance

The table below lists the transactions for each actor directly involved in CA:eReC Messaging.

To claim compliance with CA:eReC Messaging, an actor SHALL:

• Support all transactions for that actor corresponding to the Maturity Level being claimed for and lower, and
• appropriately handle error messages generated by less mature solutions that are unable to process messages sent.

Solutions MAY support a subset of transactions generally associated with solutions of higher maturity levels.

In other words:

• An actor conforming to Maturity Level 3 SHALL implement transactions from Maturity Level 3, Maturity Level 2 and Maturity Level 1 associated with that actor
• An actor conforming to Maturity Level 2 SHALL implement transactions from Maturity Level 2 and Maturity Level 1 and MAY implement transactions from Maturity Level 3 associated with that actor
• An actor conforming to Maturity Level 1 SHALL implement transactions from Maturity Level 1 and MAY implement transactions from Maturity Level 2 and Maturity Level 3 associated with that actor

¹ Vendors claiming Level 3 compliance for an eReC Requester SHOULD demonstrate the actor's use with a compliant eReC Recipient with the link option.

² Vendors claiming Level 3 compliance for an eReC Performer SHOULD demonstrate the actor's use with a compliant eReC Informer with the link option.
