1 Definition
The Action of a Process in the Universe (U-Process) requesting that an Import Service:
- Send a Message to a Process in the M-Instance (M-Process) on its own initiative or upon request of the M-Process.
- Grant Rights to the Message to the M-Process in the M-Instance, based on Rights requested by the U-Process.
If the request is accepted, the Process in the M-Instance receives the Message and is granted the Rights to it requested by the M-Process.
2 Functional Requirements
- U-Process sends “UM-Send PA Request including Message, Rights (Status=Model), and M-ProcessID” to UM-Send Service.
- If UM-Send Service is free service, goto UM-Send.
- If UM-Send Service is pay service:
- U-Process sends “UM-SendPA Request including Service Pricing Model (Status=Model)” to UM-Send Service.
- UM-Send Service sends “UM-Send PA Response”:
- If “UM-Send PA Response includes Status=Err”, goto End
- If “UM-Send PA Response includes Status=Ack and Service Pricing Model with Transaction (both Status=Model)”, User:
- Transacts “Value included in Transaction”.
- Sends “UM-Send PA Request including Service Pricing Model (Status=Model) with Transaction (Status=Final)” to UM-Send Service.
- UM-Send: UM-Send Service
- Sends “Message and Rights” to ProcessID.
- Sends “UM-Send PA Response” including
- “Ack”.
- “Service Pricing Model (Status=Final)”, if UM-Send Service is a pay service.
- End
