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

[John Pietras]

Yves,

I agree with your proposal, with one additional proposal - that
production status have initial caps (Production Status) to indicate its
"special term" status. We have used this approach elsewhere in the CSTS
SF (some cases that come immediately to mind are Transfer Buffer and
Release Timer). (Perhaps it would also be useful to add it to the
Additional Definitions in section1.6.1.4.) 

 

Best regards,

John

 

Ps - I believe that the title of section C6.2 should be "Agencies
Functionalities" , not "Agencies Functionalities Agreement"

Dear John, 
You are right, in the Return Framework, the parameter
"production-status" doe not exist in the ASN.1. Considering that the
forward procedures are coming and will re-introduce the parameter, I
would appreciate to limit the impact in the book. 

I therefore propose to change the font from "identifier" to "normal"
throughout the document. Having changed the font implies that the
parameter "production-status" referred in the document is not defined in
ASN.1. 
The events related to the various values of the production status:
productionConfigured, productionInterrupted, productionHalted and
productionOperational remain valid and are still defined in sections
3.10.2.2.3 (NOTIFY operation) and in C7 (Object Identifiers of the
events). 

Please let me know if you would agree to this minimum change. 

Best regards 
Yves

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

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
