This Service is part of Coflight Cloud Services (CCS), which are primarily designed to support the Virtual Centre concept. As such, these CCS Services support the interactions between the CCS ATM Data Service Provider (ADSP) and Virtual Centre Air Traffic Service Units (ATSUs). The CCS OperationalConfigurationDistribution service is consistent with the other CCS services. It supports the distribution of the following operational configuration data to CWP and operational supervisor consumers according to their subscription to the service:
- the on-line updates of the mapping of the couples of control roles and responsibilities (control volume, ADES, set of runways,...) on the logical positions. - the on-line updates of the radioFrequency allocation.
- the on-line updates of Aerodrome configuration data.
Service retired from 20/03/2023
Note: Only civil flights are handled by CCS services.
This version of the service is intended to be used in 'test mission', which aims at providing services and support to the Customer(s) to enable them to test any version of their ATM system during development.

Information ownership
IPR In accordance with their internal contractual rules on IPRs, DSNA, ENAV and skyguide retain exclusive ownership of the information contained in this document, which is to be deemed as foreground of the Coflight Cloud Services project (aiming at delivering remote flight data processing).Access to the Service This service is provided to Service Consumers under a contractual basis signed between the CCS Service Provider and the Service Consumer. -
Dependencies with other CCS ServicesIf the service consumer also consumes other CCS services, this Service shall be consumed simultaneously with the other CCS SWIM Services that are part of the contractual agreement between the service consumer and CCS service provider.
-
Alignment to SESAR Virtual Centre activityThis service will be updated to be as much as possible in line with the Service Definition produced by SESAR Virtual Centre activities
-
Service versioningBoth the SWIM Service Description documents / Protobuf files and the CCS Services are versioned.The version assigned to SSDs and to Protobuf files is composed by four digits in the form x.y.z.w.New releases are numbered according to the following rule (compared to the previous version): -w increased by one: means that some content that could be ignored by the developers changed and the changes do not affect the protobuf files generation. For example, changes in the comments or in the descriptions of services, fields and data structures.-z increased by one: means that some content is changed by adding (but not changing or removing) some messages and/or data types. The generated protobuf files are expected to be an extension of the previous one and as result they are backward compatible.-y increased by one: means that the file is changed by changing or removing some operations. The generated protobuf files are not expected to be compatible with the previous one.-x increased by one: means that the file contains a new baseline. Major changes are expected to be present.The service version is composed by 3 digits a.b.c assigned according to the following rule:- a could be 0,1,2 depending on the status of the service with respect to the SWIM registration phase:0: before the service application (as candidate)1: if candidate2: if compliant- b Increments if major changes have been done with respect to the previous version (modify/remove). No backward compatibility.- c Increments if minor changes have been done with respect to the previous version (addition/description modified). Full backward compatibility.
-
KPIs monitoringServices management review are regularly organized with CCS customers to monitor the usability of the services and the KPI related to the quality of service described in the SLA.
-
Confidentiality and integrityThe interface of CCS business services is accessible from outside DSNA premises through Internet using IPV4. An IPSEC link (IKE v1 or IKE v2) is used between CCS provider and CCS customer terminal network equipment.
-
Authentication and authorisationThe CCS provider acts as a certificate authority to provide and validate X.509 certificates. Before service operation, a package including X509 certificate and private key, will be delivered to the customer using the PKCS#12 archive file format. Mutual authentication with X509 certificates is used between the AMQP broker and its client. Prior to any exchanges of AMQP Messages, the CCS customer shall establish with CCS Provider a TLS session using TLS 1.2 version. -CCS customer shall provide its certificates when establishing the connection. The certificates shall be valid (nor corrupted, nor revoked). The certificates of the CCS customer allow its identification for the use of the different CCS services (CCS business services at lower level).-The CCS provider transmit its complete certificate during the connection phase and allow OCSP stapling to allow the CCS customer to check if it is valid or not.-For the cryptographic algorithms, the authorized cipher suites must be agreed between the CCS provider and the customer based on the standards.As an ATSU, the CCS business services customer, once identified, has access to all CCS services.In the case of a Customer that would fail to authenticate 3 times in less than 3 minutes, the IP address would be ban and has to trigger the incident management procedure.

Time synchronisationCCS provider and CCS customer use the date and time for the operation of each service and they must be able to date the traces and the information passed to the SSI log collector. NTP is the standard solution to synchronize time accurately. So, CCS Provider and CCS Customer should use, each of them, at least one NTP server (stratum N), integrated in a NTP network containing a stratum 0 reference time clock.
-
Provider-Customer interface-Exchange patternsEach services interface of the CCS business services relies on the concept of AMQP queues and topics. -The CCS customer shall use an implementation of the AMQP 1.0 specification to connect to the CCS provider AMQP 1.0 endpoint. -The CCS provider endpoint is an AMQP 1.0 broker managing queue and topics. The message payloads are encoded following a protobuf format. The message exchange patterns used by the CCS services are request/reply and publish/subscribe. The CCS customer acts as requester and subscriber. The CCS provider acts as responder and publisher.Concerning publish-subscribe, the CCS customer subscribes to a CCS distribution service by directly listening to an appropriate AMQP topic, which name follows the CCS derivation rules.The subscription to CCS Distribution Services is not performed via subscription operations, but by connecting to the appropriate AMQP Topic described in the .protobuf files as topic://
. . The subscribers can filter the messages they want to receive by using the filter parameters defined for each subscription operation.Please note that, after subscribing to a CCS Distribution Service, the current repository of messages needs to be obtained from CCS via the get operation defined for each CCS Distribution Service (see "Subscription" section of the distribution operation of the service).N.B:- If the CCS platform restarts while the Customer is connected to the AMQP Broker, the current repository of messages is published again.- The acknowledgement that a Customer receives to his request ("RequestReport") may be received after the data distribution that this request has triggered, as these two messages are managed asynchronously by AMQP Queues and TopicsConcerning request-reply the CCS customer sends a request by sending a message to an appropriate AMQP queue, which name follows the CCS derivation rules, to make a request. The request message contains the name of the queue into the CCS customer listens and in which the reply from the CCS provider is expected. -
Provider-Customer interface-Connection managementThe Customer is the one that initiates the TCP connection and in case of a Network / Connection failure, it is the responsibility of the CCS customer to try to reconnect regularly.
-
Provider-Customer interface-Queue managementThe AMQP broker creates the physical resources associated with a destination (queue, topic) on demand when messages are actually sent to them.Permissions on queues and topics (read/write access) are granted based on intended usage. The CCS customer will have: -Write access on the request queue-Read access on the reply queue -Read access on the topic for distribution service
