More on incidents

["Isaiadis, Stavros" <stavros.isaiadis@baml.com>]

Hi all (again),

 

Some more discussions on incidents from archives:

 

Ability to pass an IncidentID to a prescription: Three thumbs up.

 

For this one we don’t really need to do anything, as the spec provides this capability anyway (i.e. Syndrome signature may return a collection of symptoms, and then the Protocol directive can extract any kind of arguments to pass down to the prescription).

 

Paul discussed a higher level context such as when the Headaches are

caused by Pollution which is caused by poor Environmental Oversight.

It's a tiering of Incidents something like this...

 

All of these Incidents are related to poor Environmental Oversight:

IncidentID=A1 -- symptom1="increased pollution"

IncidentID=A2 -- symptom1="improper environmental spending"

 

All of these Incidents are related to Pollution:

IncidentID=B1 -- symptom1="slight headache"  symptom2="severe headache"

IncidentID=B2 -- symptom1="dirty windows"

IncidentID=B3 -- symptom1="bad tasting drinking water"

 

In Paul's scenario, some kind of UberIncidentID would link together the

Pollution symptoms, and a UberUberIncidentID would link together the

Environmental Oversight symptoms.

It seems unlikely that a simple symptom emitter would be able to provide

these Uber*IncidentIDs.  So maybe these kinds of relationships are

defined elsewhere, and leveraged by the Diagnostian.

 

Alvin: UberIncidentID: Two thumbs up on the notion that we need to somehow

support a complex linking of related symptoms...  I think we might have

to get more sophisticated though.

 

Question: is the above not covered if we decide to support multiple incident IDs? I.e. a symptom would have three incident IDs: the direct incident one, the UberIncident and the UberUberIncident one :-)

 

Cheers,

Stavros
