Subject: RE: [provision] Question about targets and PSOs...


Title: Message
That is an interesting question, but I'm not sure I'm ready to tackle it.  AFAIK, we do not yet define (or even recommend) any schema for a PSO.  Do we?
 
PrOM proposed some attributes for an "Account" class (and I think of Account as PSO), but PrOM is just a strawman.  The strawman also proposed some attributes for a "User" class (and I think of "User" as comparable to the "master record") that included references to Account instances.
 
I'd like to discuss PSO/Account/ProvisionedState.  Maybe it's time to tee that one up....

Subject: [provision] Question about targets and PSOs...

 
Interesting question:
 
Can (or should) a PSO provisioned to one target be able to reference a PSO provisioned to another target? Can (or should) this reference be explict by defining the target ID and the PSO ID withen the target, or implicit by using an PSO ID naming convention that indicates what the target should be? It seems to me that this should be possible and should be explicit.
 
The specific case I am thinking about is a White Box PSP where the PSP master record (provisioning system user identity) is a PSO on a target that represents the underlying provisioning system. If the PSP wants to expose the semantics of the provisioning system user identity owning the provisioned accounts, then the PSO for the target representing the master record would need references to PSOs in targets representing the provisioned resources.
