RE: [kmip] [snia-ssif] KMIP Tape Library Profile Test Case question

Hi Tony

Looking at the KMIP-tape-lib-profile-v1.0.pdf, I found that all three test cases issue the same Query:

<RequestMessage>

<RequestHeader>

<ProtocolVersion>

<ProtocolVersionMajor type="Integer" value="1"/>

<ProtocolVersionMinor type="Integer" value="0"/>  # and 1; and 2

</ProtocolVersion>

<BatchCount type="Integer" value="1"/>

</RequestHeader>

<BatchItem>

<Operation type="Enumeration" value="Query"/>

<UniqueBatchItemID type="ByteString" value="01"/>

<RequestPayload>

<QueryFunction type="Enumeration" value="QueryOperations"/>

<QueryFunction type="Enumeration" value="QueryObjects"/>

<QueryFunction type="Enumeration" value="QueryServerInformation"/>

<QueryFunction type="Enumeration" value="QueryApplicationNamespaces"/>

</RequestPayload>

</BatchItem>

</RequestMessage>

Seems reasonable that a conforming KMIP client should be permitted to issue additional QueryFunctions.

Cheers,
… Dave

Subject: [kmip] [snia-ssif] KMIP Tape Library Profile Test Case question

 

Hi folks - this issue has been raised to the KMIP Interop Subcommitee and escalated to the main TC.

"OASIS KMIP Interop group:
I’m writing on behalf of the SNIA SSIF and its KMIP Conformance Test Program.
We have a conformance testing question regarding items in the Tape Library Profile and would appreciate your input.
The issue is with KMIP V1.2 Test Cases TL-M-1-10, TL-M-1-11, and TL-M-1-12 and relates to the required behavior of a conformant CLIENT.
In each of these Test Cases, the required request is a Query with a specific list of Query Functions. We can find no Allowed Variation in the list of Query Functions for these test cases.

Questions: May a conforming CLIENT include additional Query Function’s?  If yes, are there any constraints on which additional Query Functions are allowed?

Sincerely,
Dave Thiel
