Objection to 2.4.2

["Josh Allen" <jallen@macrovision.com>]

Hi all,

 

Requirement 2.4.2 reads:

 

"2.4.2 The SDD specification must support the definition of the information that controls the selections to be readily collected into a “response file” for reuse.  This information should include everything needed for the operation to proceed. Examples:Support migration between different environments, e.g. development, test, production.Reinstall using the same configuration."

 

My objection is that it sounds like we'll be defining the response file format.  But there are many possible "response file" or "plan" formats that could be employed; I wouldn't want to constrain ourselves to just one.

 

I think Debra's wording is great:

"The SDD specification must permit the collection of all information required to comprehensively control selections into a transportable format for reuse."

 

Thanks,

Josh
