2. Schema Alignment between EAD and DFA and Version
Control
The DFA Schema will be based on V30 of the EAD schema. This is the version that current
B2B CPs are consuming against, and is the schema that introduced the new informational
Named Value Pair structure to reduce the volume of Response Codes sent to CPs.
In future releases if we upgrade either Schema this will apply equally to both EAD & DFA.
To keep schema changes to a minimum, where possible, all changes are implemented in
the underlying Product Models for the respective products.
