RE: [tosca] tosca.nodes.Database (and Webserver)

[Matt Rutkowski <mrutkows@us.ibm.com>]

Hi Luca,

Returning from vacation... I fully agree
with Chris' responses and recommendations.  What we need are concrete
use cases / examples showing what you want to do cannot be done or could
be done better.  In terms of WAS and DB, please pay attention to the
Credential datatype and the Endpoint.Admin capability if you are looking
at aligning how userid/passwords would be done consistently across any
SoftwareComponent, but something the Simple Profile working group has not
had a chance to fully discuss.

Kind regards,
Matt

Hi Luca,
 
Rather than continuing email
discussions, I recommend that you:
 
1.       Open
up a Jira issue
2.       Participate
in the “Simple Profile” meetings on Tuesdays. Here is the URL for the
next meeting:
 
https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/tosca/event.php?event_id=39583
 
Thanks for all your excellent
comments,
 
Chris

Which is the best way to proceed?
Shall I open an issue or continue
the discussion here in list?

Hi Luca,
 
Yes, the Webserver and Database
normative node types (as well as many of the other ones) are “lowest common
denominator” types that can serve as a starting point for more sophisticated
types:
 
1.
      You
could create subclasses of these types that add properties etc. to support
your more advanced use cases.
2.
      If
there are sufficient commonalities between the various subclasses (of Webserver
or of Database) then we should consider moving these into the base class.
 
Do you have any recommendations
for what types of attributes/properties/capabilities/requirements etc.
you would like to see added into the base classes?
 
thanks,
 
Chris

The mapping of database containing
the user is again a semplification that collapse the standard to a very
simple and many times far from the enterprise approach that is perhaps
needed.
It would be better to define accounts
in the engine and rights on the DB as in all DBMS systems.
This way we can have the capability
to install an engine, a database and one user for read and one user for
read/write.
 
Thanks
Luca
