[Css-csts] RE: deprecated production-status parameter?

[John Pietras]

Yves,

My comment about the embedded note "2012 not valid anymore" applied to
the June draft of the CSTS FW - it (and the associated ASN.1
ProductionStatus type definition) have been deleted from the July
version. However, my comments about references to the production-status
parameter throughout the book are still valid.

 

Best regards,

John

Subject: deprecated production-status parameter?

 

Yves,

There are a number of citations of and references to the
production-status parameter, where "production-status" has the courier
font that indicates that it is a formal parameter of the Framework. For
example, section 2.2.10.2 states:

"The status of the service production resource is reported by means of
the production-status parameter and is made available to all service
instances accessing the same production resource.  The CSTS
Specification Framework defines the permissible values of
production-status and the transitions between these values in abstract
terms; these values may be refined by service specifications based on
the Framework.  Service specifications may also define substates for one
or more of the production-status values where appropriate."

 

However, when I went and actually looked for productionStatus in the
ASN.1, I found that D3.3, Cross Support Transfer Service -COMMON TYPES,
exports ProductionStatus but that the type itself now has the annotation
"201206 Not valid anymore".

 

If indeed production-status is now not a formal parameter type then I
think it should be cleaned up in the Framework to remove those
statemetns that say that it is. However, I don't thinkn that it is
important enough to delay Red-2 publication just for that. This comment
can be treated as the first RID against Red-2.

 

Best regards,

John
