MEP Edits from todays Conference Call

[Heather Kreger <kreger@us.ibm.com>]

Hi folks,

Here is section 1.3 Message Exchange Patterns after todays discussion:

1.1.1 Message Exchange Patterns
[FR002] MUST support request-response style interaction between a manager
and a manageable resource for interface. {#38}
      [FR002.1] Must support Synchronous delivery of messages and
request/response styles. {#142}
      [FR002.2] Should support Asynchronous delivery of messages and
request/response styles

      [FR002A] Should support asynchronous interactions between a manager
      and a manageable resource for interface.


      [FR002B] Should support one-way style interaction (asynchronously)


         <check what WS-I supports/>


[FR003]  MUST support delivery of notifications from manageable resources
to manager. (Source: IBM, HP, MPTC)




      [FR003.1] The notification receiver SHOULD be able to control what
notifications are sent to it. (filtering and/or subscription at managed
resource side) (Source: HP)
      [FR003.2] The notification receiver SHOULD be able to indicate
whether it wants to receive notifications asynchronously as and when they
happen or poll them periodically. (Source: HP) {#90}
            [FR003.2C] SHOULD support asynchronous delivery of
notifications
            [FR003.2.D] MUST support synchronous polling for notifications
            [FR003.2.E] The managed resource MUST be able to indicate if it
supports asynch or polling notifications mechanisms.
      [FR003.3] Must support guaranteed notifications. {#90} (and advertise
its support)
      [FR003.4] Must support ordering of notifications from a managed
resource’s perspective. {#90}
      [FR003.4] Support synchronous as well as asynchronous. {#142}
<Delete: Dup of 3.2>

Please send additional requirments for a notification mechanism to the list
before next week.
