ebXML-MS does not define the business processes or the content of the messages being sent. ebXML-MS only concerns itself with the secure and reliable transmission of the payload. ebXML-MS Message Service Handler (MSH) sits between the network protocol (SMTP, FTP, HTTP, etc.) and the Business Process at each end. In this way, the MSH is independent of both the transport protocol and the higher level business processes. ebXML-MS can be used to transmit any payload over any network connection.

Optional Test Profiles for ebMS testing: ebMS Optional Test Profiles represent additional functionality requested by various industry associations and end users. Participation in Optional Profiles is strictly voluntary as software companies enrolled in ebMS interoperability testing are NOT required to undergo any of the Optional Profiles testing. Those software products with version which have undergone Optional Profiles testing are noted on the ebMS Interoperable Products page.

• Automotive Retail Profile
• XML Encryption Profile

To ensure that important transactional information is received securely, full matrix interoperability certification is mission critical for these industries. Drummond Group Inc. (DGI) is the trusted interoperability test lab offering global testing services through the product life cycle. DGI conducts ebMS 2.0 Interoperability testing once a year.
