P-Mode
Core configuration concept of ebMS 3.0 and the AS4 profile.
Definition
A P-Mode bundles every parameter agreed between two MSHs (Message Service Handlers): the MEP, security (WS-Security signing/encryption), receipts, party agents (From/To), service and action. It is never sent on the wire: each partner configures it locally and aligns it with its counterparty's.
Origin
Defined in section 4 ("PMode parameters") of the OASIS ebMS 3.0 Core Specification Part 1 (Version 3.0), published by the OASIS ebXML Messaging Services Technical Committee.
Example in context
PMode.MEP = oneWay ; PMode.MEPbinding = Push ; PMode[1].Security.X509.Sign = true ; PMode[1].BusinessInfo.Service = noprocess
