# 1. Introduction

This document is a part of the IMS GLC Bulk Data Exchange Management Service (BDEMS) v1.0 specification. The binding details how the Bulk Data Management Service Information Model is realised as a Web Service; in the form of a Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file. The BDEMS binding is contained in a set of WSDL, XSD and vocabulary files. The vocabulary files are instances of the IMS Vocabulary Definition Exchange specification [VDEX, 04a], [VDEX, 04b]. The IMS GLC Learning Information Services (LIS) Best Practice and Implementation Guide [LIS, 11b] provides non-normative guidance on how to use the Binding and Information Model. For a conceptual overview of the LIS Specification, please see the overall services description [LIS, 11a]. For a discussion of potential applications, see the Best Practice Guide.

## 1.1 Scope and Context

The IMS GLC BDEMS WSDL Binding v1.0 is used in conjunction with the following documents:

1. IMS GLC Bulk Data Exchange Management Service Information Model v1.0 [BDEMS, 11] – the behaviour and data model definition of the Bulk Data Exchange Management Service;
2. IMS GLC Learning Information Services Best Practice and Implementation Guide v1.0 [LIS, 11b] – key information on how to adopt and implement the specification.

This WSDL binding takes the Bulk Data Exchange Management Service Information Model and produces an encoding of that description in WSDL. This WSDL binding is generated as recommended by the IMS GLC General Web Services documents [GWS, 06a], [GWS, 06b]. The WSDL is created using the IMC GLC Binding Auto-generation Tool-kit (I-BAT) [I-BAT, 06].

## 1.2 Structure of this Document

The structure of this document is:

2. Platform Specific Model of the Binding | The description platform specific models in the form of the IMS GLC UML-Profile service/data models representation of the IMS GLC GMS specification information model. This representation is used by the IMS GLC I-BAT tool to auto-generate the corresponding WSDL/XSDs;
3. Application of the Binding Guidelines | Explanation of how the platform specific model is realised as the WDSDL/XSD binding. This addresses how the information model is realised as a Web Service;
4. WSDL File Documentation | The description of the Web Services used to realise the service model components of the binding. This part of the binding document was created using the schema documentation tool provided as part of the Oxygen 12.2 product;
5. XSD File Documentation | The description of the elements used within the data model components of the binding. This part of the binding document was created using the schema documentation tool provided as part of the Oxygen 12.2 product;
6. Binding of the Vocabularies | Contains the description of how the set of external vocabulary files are realised as VDEX files;
Appendix A - Listing of the WSDL Files | This is the full listing of the BDEMS WSDL files;
Appendix B - Listing of the XSD Files | This is the full listing of the BDEMS XSD files;
Appendix C - Vocabulary VDEX Instance File Listings | This is the full listing of the set of external vocabulary VDEX instance files;
Appendix D - Examples SOAP Messages | Examples of the SOAP messages that are exchanged to realise the service.

# 2. Platform Specific Model of the Binding

## 2.1 Service Description

Figure 2.1 is the PSM of the service group model description for the BDEMS. This information is used to establish the mapping to the binding flavors of WSDL.

Figure 2.1 The PSM representation of the service group model description for the BDEMS.

Figure 2.2 is the PSM of the service model description for the BDEMS. The PSM is derived from the Platform Independent Model that was documented within the information model for the BDEMS specification [BDEMS, 10].

Figure 2.2 The PSM representation of the service model description for the BDEMS.

NOTE: In Figure 2.2 it can be seen that the BDEMS uses an extra SOAP Header (this is supplied as part of the IMS GWS v1.0 specification). This header is used to support ansynchronous messaging uses end-point addressing provided as part of the SOAP request message (this is similar to the use of WS-Addressing which may replace this approach in later versions of the BDEMS).

## 2.2 Data for the Service Operations

The data model for the service opertaions is shown in Figure 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5. Figures 2.3 and 2.4 show the data models for the set of parameters. Figure 2.5 is the data model for the Status Information and other WSDL-specific binding data structures.

Figure 2.3 The PSM representation of the parameters data model description for the BDEMS.

Figure 2.4 The PSM representation epresentation of the supported parameter data model description for the BDEMS.

Figure 2.5 The PSM representation of the status information data model description for the BDEMS.

## 2.3 File-based Data Exchange Data Model

The PSM for the file-based bulk data exchange data models are shown in Figures 2.6 and 2.7. Figure 2.6 is the BulkDataRecord data model and Figure 2.7 contains the set of imported data model classes.

Figure 2.6 The PSM representation of the bulkdatarecord data model description for file storage in the BDEMS.

Figure 2.7 The PSM representation of the imported data model descriptions for file storage in the BDEMS.

# 3. Application of the Binding Guidelines

The WSDL/XSD bindings have been generated using the methodology documented in [GWS 06a] and [GWS, 06b]. Only the synchronous service binding has been created i.e. each call is realised as a request/response pair (note that the BDEMS operations are combined in various ways to create an asynchronous service; see the BDEMS Information Model [BDEMS, 11]). The binding files are available in two forms:

- A single combined WSDL/XSD – BulkDataExchangeManagementServicev1.0_SyncSingle_v1p0.wsdl;
- Separated WSDL and XSD files – BulkDataExchangeManagementServicev1p0_SyncWSDL_v1p0.wsdl and BulkDataExchangeManagementServiceSyncXSD.xsd respectively.

It is recommended that only the combined form is used (many WSDL-based code generation tools do not process the WSDL 'import' instructions).

The mapping between the PIM and PSM descriptions is detailed in Table 3.1.

--- | --- | --- | ---
announceBulkDataExchange | announceBulkDataExchangeRequest | announceBulkDataExchangeResponse |
The 'announceBulkDataExchange' operation is used by a Service Provider to announce the availability of a bulk data obect that is ready for retrieval by Service Consumers. This call causes the suspension of real-time event notification.
announceFailureBulkDataExchange | announceFailureBulkDataExchangeRequest | announceFailureBulkDataExchangeResponse |
The 'announceFailureBulkDataExchange' operation is used by a Service Provider to inform the Service Consumer that a previously issued, and acknowledged, 'requestBulkDataExchange' transaction cannot be serviced.
reportBulkDataExchange | reportBulkDataExchangeRequest | reportBulkDataExchangeResponse |
The 'reportBulkDataExchange' operation is used by a Service Consumer to report to a Service Provider the retrieval of the bulk data object whose availability was announced previously. This causes real-time event processing to be restarted.
requestBulkDataExchange | requestBulkDataExchangeRequest | requestBulkDataExchangeResponse |
The 'requestBulkDataExchange' operation is used by a Service Consumer to request a bulk data exchange from the Service Provider.
ignoreBulkDataExchange | ignoreBulkDataExchangeRequest | ignoreBulkDataExchangeResponse |
The 'ignoreBulkDataExchange' operation is issued by a Service Consumer to inform the Service Provider that a previously issued anounce bulk data exchange request will be ignored. This causes real-time event processing to be restarted in the Provider and Consumer.
cancelBulkDataExchange | cancelBulkDataExchangeRequest | cancelBulkDataExchangeResponse |
The 'cancelBulkDataExchange' operation is issued by a Service Consumer to inform the Service Provider that a previously issued bulk data exchange request is now cancelled. This causes real-time event processing to be restarted in the Provider and Consumer.

# 6. Binding of the Vocabularies

The vocabularies in the BDEMS are:

- Parameter type vocabulary – the set of values for the type of parameter that are permitted for the bulk data exchange data model. The PSM for the vocabulary is shown in Figures 6.1a, 6.1b, 6.1c and 6.1d;
- Transaction fail status code vocabulary – the set of values for the failure codes for transactions in the bulk data exchange management service. The PSM for the vocabulary is shown in Figures 6.2a and 6.2b;
- Announce failure report vocabulary – the set of values for the failure report codes for an announce request in the bulk data exchange management service. The PSM for the vocabulary is shown in Figure 6.3;
- Filter types vocabulary – the set of values for the filter types in a request in the bulk data exchange management service. The PSM for the vocabulary is shown in Figures 6.4a and 6.4b;
- Filter values for an object filter type vocabulary – the set of values for the filter values of a filter type of 'object' in a request in the bulk data exchange management service. The PSM for the vocabulary is shown in Figure 6.5.

These vocabularies are the default set maintained under the IMS GLC Vocabulary Registry [SDN11, 06]. It is the responsibility of an implementation to ensure that it is using the correct and latest versions of the vocabulary files. Changes to the default vocabularies are permitted; this results in the creation of a new vocabulary that should be registered with IMS GLC. As part of a profiling process entirely new vocabularies may be defined to replace the default set.

# Appendix A - Listing of the WSDLs

The WSDL bindings are for a Synchronous SOAP implementation only. The WSDL files, expressed using WSDLv1.1, are:

- The combined WSDL/XSD file (this contains the WSDL and XSD descriptions in a single file) – BulkDataExchangeManagementServicev1p0_SyncSingle_v1p0.wsdl
- The single WSDL file (used in conjunction with the separate XSD file) is available to LIS Alliance members. Click here to join the Alliance. Also available to Alliance members are combined WSDL/XSD files but where each file describes a single interface/port.

These files were generated by the I-BATv0.9.5 tool using the PSM representation described in Section 2.

top | toc

# Appendix B - Listing of the XSDs

The XSD files are:

- The stand-alone XSD – BulkDataExchangeManagmentServiceSyncXSD.xsd
- The IMS General Web Services XSD for the validation of the end-point addressing headers - imsepav1p0_v1p0.xsd
- The XSD for the external data file (this XSD also requires the data file validation XSDs from the PMS, GMS, MMS, CMS and OMS bindings) – imsbdemsFileData_v1p0.xsd
- The XSD for the BDEMS containing the external data structure definitions for use with the separated WSDL file(s) is available to LIS Alliance members. Click here to join the Alliance.

This file was generated by the I-BATv0.9.5 tool using the PSM representation described in Section 2. Documentation of the XSDs is supplied in Section 5.

# Appendix C - Vocabulary VDEX Instance File Listings

The BDEMS vocabularies are:

- Parameter types vocabulary – parametertypevocabularyv1p0.xml;
- Filter types vocabulary – filtertypevocabularyv1p0.xml;
- Filter types for filter objects vocabulary – filtervalueobjectvocabularyv1p0.xml;
- Transaction failure status codes vocabulary – transactionfailstatusvocabularyv1p0.xml;
- Announce failure reports vocabulary – announcefailurereportvocabularyv1p0.xml.

These vocabularies are each expressed as an instance of the IMS GLC Vocabulary Data Exchange (VDEX) v1.0 specification. Documentation of the vocabulary is supplied in Section 6. The online versions of these vocabularies are available in the directory: http://www.imsglobal.org/vdex/lis/bdemsv1p0/.

# Appendix D - Example SOAP Messages

The set of examples for the SOAP messages are listed in Table D.1. The messaging pattern is a Request/Response exchange to support the Synchronous Service definition.

Table D.1 The set of SOAP message examples for each operation.

Operation Name | Input (Request) SOAP Message | Output (Response) SOAP Message
--- | --- | ---
announceBulkDataExchange | announceBulkDataExchangeRequest | announceBulkDataExchangeResponse
announceFailureBulkDataExchange | announceFailureBulkDataExchangeRequest | announceFailureBulkDataExchangeResponse
reportBulkDataExchange | reportBulkDataExchangeRequest | reportBulkDataExchangeResponse
requestBulkDataExchange | requestBulkDataExchangeRequest | requestBulkDataExchangeResponse
ignoreBulkDataExchange | ignoreBulkDataExchangeRequest | ignoreBulkDataExchangeResponse
