Subject: RE: [sdd] 2.3
This looks like a suggestion to drop the second sentence. But did you intend to reject the rewording of the first sentence and stick with the "ability of the author" phrasing?
Instead of: The SDD specification must support the ability for the author to describe the changes that will occur to the environment as a result of a deployment lifecycle operation.
How about this suggested wordsmithing (no meaning change intended):
2.3 The SDD specification must support declaration of environment changes that will be in effect once a lifecycle operation is complete.

The original:
2.3 Projected Changes to Environment: In addition to describing the content of a solution package and the appropriate information required to install this content, the SDD specification must support the ability for the author to define information in order to describe the changes to the environment once the package is installed. This information enables a provisioning application to better manage the system resources.In addition, this information is required during the integration phase of the deployment lifecycle as the solution requires specific capabilities to be deployed to complete the solution. Just knowing the payload of the package is not adequate.
John's rewrite:
Option 1) 2.3 The SDD specification must support the ability for the author to define information that describes the changes to the environment after a deployment lifecycle operation is complete. The SDD specification must support the ability for the author to define requirements that need to be met during the integration phase of the deployment lifecycle operation.
Discussion:
I don't understand what the second sentence means. What is "the integration phase"?
[Patton, John H] This is a very good question that I think I had when I used it from the original. Now that you raise the question, I don't think that there are formal deployment lifecycle "phases" defined. My best guess of the intent from the original is that it means the "execute" phase, where the system is actually being changed... files laid down, databases created, registry entries added, etc. Maybe? Otherwise, yeah... I also have no idea what this meant. :-)
I also suggest the following wordsmithing for the first sentence of this requirement:
2.3 The SDD specification must support declaration of environment changes that will be in affect once a lifecycle operation is complete.
