The Cross-Community Fetch (XCF) Profile defines a single transaction for accessing medical data between gateways that facilitate multiple dimensions of communication (trust, semantics, encoding, legislation, authority, etc.). The profile is integrates the Cross Gateway Query/Cross Gateway Retrieve transactions.
In specific use cases - for example, when a few dynamically created documents need to be accessed from interacting communities with centralised data localisation - a single transaction (versus independent query and retrieve) may reduce the coordination and maintenance of the transactional dependencies and transaction states.
For such use cases, and in environments where stateless Responding Gateways can be designed, it simplifies the implementation of Responding Gateways. However, it may increase the implementation complexity of Initiating Gateways serving some types of communities, such as XDS Affinity Domains. XCF offers a different deployment option from the general-purpose XCA Profile.
