All,
The following summarizes issues that have arisen regarding
MOWS Metrics. Heather, you may wish to discuss these further on the Thurs
conf. call or at the F2F.
- Proposal by Kirk Wilson to include Max/Last Request/ResponseSize
metrics. [1]
- Should these properties be included in both service
level and operation level metric capabilities? [2]
- Extensions to other capabilities:
- Proposal by KW to include the operation-level
attributes introduced by Fred in the OperationMetrics capability
proposal, operationName & portType, in the Request Processing state
elements [3]
- Proposal by Dave Cox/Tony
Gullotta to extend OperationalStatus to
operations (as well as State, perhaps) [4] [5]
- Proposal by DC to treat operations as manageable
resources in their own right [4]
- This proposal has been opposed by Bryan
Murray and Dave Snelling. [6] [7]
- This editor’s opinion: The extensions in #2 do
not require making operations manageable resources. There would be
additional model issues to handle the relationship between a web service
and its associated operations that only serve to complicate the
representation of a web service.
- Proposal by KW to replace the word
“Operation” with “Request” in the operation-level
capabilities, e.g., RequestMetric capability, RequestNumberofRequests (hmm,
perhaps not too good), RequestOperationalStatus (but more preferable than
OperationOperationalStatus). This would keep the vocabulary
consistent with “RequestProcessingState”. [3]
