[Css-csts] #4 SCDP question ('unable to process')

[Ray, Timothy J. (GSFC-5830)]

Hi,

Suppose the following sequence occurs:

User:  START-invocation  first-data-sequence-counter = 0
Provider:  START-return  positive return

User:  PROCESS-DATA-invocation  data-sequence-counter = 0
Provider:  PROCESS-DATA-return  positive return

User:  PROCESS-DATA-invocation  data-sequence-counter = 1
Provider:  PROCESS-DATA-return  positive return

At this point, the Provider's production status becomes 'halted'.
User:  PROCESS-DATA-invocation  data-sequence-counter = 2
Provider:  PROCESS-DATA-return  negative return 'unable to process'



Can we assume that, due to being halted, the Provider will not accept any further PROCESS-DATA invocations during this service instance (actually, to be more specific, until after the current instance of the SCDP procedure goes away and is replaced by a new instance)?

If the answer is 'no', then a follow-up question:

What is the appropriate data-sequence-counter to use for the next PROCESS-DATA-invocation?

Best regards,
Tim
