Overview
What is SBR Using SBR-enabled software, businesses will be able to realise the benefits of reporting to government directly from their financial, accounting or payroll system. A message through the system is made up of two parts Envelope (e. BMS) • A set of layered extensions to the SOAP protocol, providing security and reliability features enabling e-Commerce transactions. • ATO is using the e. BMS 3 standard with the addition of the AS 4 profile Payload (XBRL, XML, JSON) • Allows for a standard base to communicate and exchange business information between parties • This is the chosen format for SBR and provides consistent reporting for agencies using the associated AU taxonomy. 3 Unclassified – Software Developer Training - SBR 2
Taxonomies • Definitional taxonomy (SBR Taxonomy) is based on “whole of government terms” and goes through a process of verification and normalisation before approval through the SBR taxonomy advisory committee (TAC) • Reporting taxonomy – “Instance of the form” values are taken from the definitional taxonomy to make up the values in the form. • Interface is usually a message implementation guide (MIG) provided to fully describe the implementation of the reporting taxonomy.

Some basic information on eb. MS 3/AS 4 • The eb. MS 3. 0 standard composes the fundamental Web Services standards SOAP 1. 1 [SOAP 11], SOAP 1. 2 [SOAP 12], SOAP with Attachments [SOAPATTACH], WS-Security ([WSS 10], [WSS 11]), WS-Addressing [WSADDRCORE], and reliable messaging (WS-Reliability 1. 1 [WSR 11] or WSReliable. Messaging - currently at version 1. 2 [WSRM 12]) together with guidance for the packaging of messages and receipts along with definitions of messaging choreographies for orchestrating document exchanges. • As a profile of the eb. MS 3. 0 specification, AS 4 leverages much of messaging services requirements defined in that standard. Message security is governed by the WS-Security specification with support for payload compression. AS 4 supports both document push and pull message exchange choreographies, contains an AS 2 -like business nonrepudiation of receipt, and has the support for reception awareness providing just enough reliable messaging without overspecifying the functionality.

Your choices on e. BMS implementation Build, Buy or Partner. • Build • You do not need the full feature set of e. BMS / AS 4 to deliver services for the ATO • Understand the MEP’s needed for each service. • Services delivered for different ATO systems and B 2 B delivery require different e. BMS / AS 4 functionality. • Buy • Consider the value for money proposition of purchasing a product against delivery and maintenance effort. • You may not need to consume a fully featured e. BMS product. • Partner • Value of passing the e. BMS delivery to a 3 rd party or even have them send the data to the ATO • Potential for negotiation on what and how you send data and agreements being made between the parties. > ATO product register http: //softwaredevelopers. ato. gov. au/eb.

High level description of the ebms 3 SDK, C# Rules, Xml vs Xbrl and Access Manager
Overview • The following will be covered at a high level • The purpose of the ebms 3 SDK embedded /reference client • Description of C# Rule Usage for SBR. • Operation of Access Manager 22 Unclassified – Software Developer Training - SBR 2
SBR SDK and Reference Client The Reference Client is provided as an example of how to connect to SBR using the ebms 3/AS 4 standards. The reference client is provided in Java, . NET and C. Both 32 Bit and 64 bit versions exist. All implementations rely on Java. 23 Unclassified – Software Developer Training - SBR 2
Context 24 Unclassified – Software Developer Training - SBR 2
Reference Client Overview The SBR Reference Client is aimed at giving Software Developers an example of how to connect to the SBR eb. MS 3 platform using the SDK components provided by SBR. It is an example only and is not intended for production use. The reference client shows how to: • Interact with an AUSkey credential store. • Use a credential from the AUSkey store to call Van. Guard. • Package bulk/batch requests. • Submit requests. • Interpret the responses received. 25 Unclassified – Software Developer Training - SBR 2
eb. MS 3 Embeddable client • • • Is an implementation of a client eb. MS 3 Message Service Handler (MSH) that supports the exchanges applicable to SBR. Depends on the Java Runtime Environment (the IBM JRE is supplied). It facilitates communication between your business software and the SBR eb. MS 3 server using the eb. MS 3 protocol. 26 Unclassified – Software Developer Training - SBR 2
Recommendations • • • Use the Reference Client, eb. MS 3 SDK Developer guide and SBR eb. MS 3 Web Services Implementation Guide to familiarise yourself with the technologies and how they are used. Use the ebms 3 embedded client but abstract your business software from the implementation so that you are able to switch out the embedded client. Consider purchasing an eb. MS 3 message handler and adapt its implementation using the abstraction layer created above. 27 Unclassified – Software Developer Training - SBR 2
C# Rules • The ATO has recently moved from using Schematron (20102016) to using a C# (2017 onwards) based implementation. • This decision was based upon performance and maintenance costs for the ATO. • Schematron just has not scaled from both a performance and time to market perspective. • These reasons were considered to be of more benefit to third parties than providing a platform agnostic implementation. • The C# files that the ATO provides for third parties reflects the code that the ATO currently uses at run time for both the eb. MS 3 and SBR 1 platforms. 28 Unclassified – Software Developer Training - SBR 2
C# Overview – How the ATO uses it • • • Each business rule in the Business Rules Spreadsheet has a corresponding implementation in the C# rules are based on an assertion model – so each business rule checks data elements within the incoming message and will return an error message if that assertion fails. These rules are considered to be “boundary layer” rules as no calls are made to back end systems. 29 Unclassified – Software Developer Training - SBR 2
C# Rules – How you can use them The ATO provides C# to software developers as a reference implementation – a very unusual practise for web services. The following are some ways in which the files can be used. • Unit testing of software products – allowing you to test the output reports that your product produces to see if they will pass through ATO boundary validation checks. • Could enable you to create a mock service that may allow you to run tests without hitting the EVTE environment. • You could use third party tools to convert the C# to another programming language. • Provides some additional clarity of what a business rule means at run-time. • Note that it is not recommended to include the provided C# rules in your delivered product. 30 Unclassified – Software Developer Training - SBR 2
C# Rules – What you need to use them • The. NET runtime 4. 5+ is recommended. • If you do not use. NET then either: • Potentially use C# conversion software to allow the C# to be converted to another language. • Or create a web service/mock that allows the rules to be called from your language/run time environment. • Any editor can be used to view/edit the C# files – but visual studio is recommended. 31 Unclassified – Software Developer Training - SBR 2
C# – Generation • • • The ATO has invested heavily over the past year in enabling code generation for C#. The ATO is currently migrating from manually written code to generated code. Cross form rules are currently not generated. 32 Unclassified – Software Developer Training - SBR 2
Xbrl vs Xml The ATO is still heavily invested in the SBR taxonomy – however the over the wire format is changing from Xbrl to Xml. All data elements are still based on the SBR definitional taxonomy. The following general strategy is being used for selection the data format. Change Type Format Validation Technology Code Generated New Service Xml (mostly) or JSON. C# Y New version of existing Xbrl service (1) Xbrl - New Taxonomy Architecture C# Y 33 Unclassified – Software Developer Training - SBR 2
Access Manager enables an Administrator to assign permissions for Standard AUSkey holders and Device AUSkeys in their business to control access to ATO online services. 34 Unclassified – Software Developer Training - SBR 2
What Access Manager allows for • • Management of employee access to tax records for businesses, Tax and BAS agents. Allows a business to specify another business that can act on their behalf. Allows Tax/BAS Agents to restrict employee access to particular clients. Allows businesses and agents to select and authorise online service providers who are able to security submit lodgements from the cloud. 35 Unclassified – Software Developer Training - SBR 2
Access Management - Future Services • Currently there are no services that enable management of end user security directly through a third party product. • The perceived benefit for the creation of AM services is the ability for users of third party products to stay within their product rather than having to go to the ATO web site to manage permissions. • The level of interest will determine the priority over building of other business value services. • Adding security maintenance features is inherently higher risk that other business services thus requiring a higher level of testing. • The use of device AUSkeys for Online Service Providers also has to be considered in the viability of creating Access Management Services. 36 Unclassified – Software Developer Training - SBR 2

Choosing an SBR Implementation Model All parties in the SBR program must choose an implementation feature set. We have suggested three patterns in this presentation. To select a pattern: eb. MS 1. Understand your business model and Transaction volumes. Super 2. Understand SBR, Super. Stream and STP Specifications. 3. Determine what eb. MS 3 feature set and pattern is appropriate to your business. Super eb. MS Super ATO Super eb. MS Super 4. Choose eb. MS 3 Implementation approach. Should I: • Buy • Build or • Partner? Super Other eb. MS Gateways Universal Client Minimal Client
Architecture of the ATO Gateway SBR transactions are handled: 1. Software packages construct SBR payloads and transport via eb. MS. 2. Core services may route transactions to the ATO or any other SBR gateway. 3. Transactions are authenticated and authorised using Aus. Key certificates. 4. Transactions are handled in bulk or single. 5. SBR messages are validated and transformed to target system format. 6. ATO back office systems process transactions.

Multi-modal Testing e. Commerce has developed a double V Model for testing with SWD. This is largely used to explain to SWD their expectations and touchpoints with the ATO for testing. This process adapts to SWD with differing methodologies. Behind the e. CSD layer the ‘back-end’ changes can be delivered and tested in their existing practices adapting to the ATO’s multi-modal delivery approach. 44 Unclassified – Software Developer Training - SBR 2
Interoperability Process eb. MS 3/AS 4 Interoperability: Testing to done through an external organisation (such as the Drummond Group) to test for interoperability by simulating authentic transaction. Done by a matrix of test cases with all eb. MS 3/AS 4 enabled products. A certificate should be supplied to provide the product developer with certification there product has been tested against SBR. Similar to the heart foundation tick but applied to eb. MS 3 compliant products. Interoperability Trials Conducted by industry aligned groups to demonstrate interoperability at the business process level. Conformance Testing Conformance testing is used to ensure that defined standards are met.
