Hi, As an example, say a number of subscribers connect in to a system using NETCONF, then issue the <establish-subscription> RPCs as defined by https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-netconf-rfc5277bis-01. These appear as entries in the ietf-event-notifications/subscriptions container, which is "config false". They don't appear in the ietf-event-notifications/subscription-config container since they are not configured; they are dynamic.
A network manager is examining the system and observes the subscriptions in the ietf-event-notifications/subscriptions container and decides that some or all of them should be deleted. Since the network manager may be using a tool that uses NETCONF (or perhaps some other tool) to remotely manage the system, what underlying method would be used to delete these subscriptions? As mentioned below, as far as I can tell, a standard NETCONF management RPC like <edit-config> cannot be directed at these subscriptions since config is false. So I'm trying to understand if there is some other general solution for this type of problem for other protocols, or perhaps even for NETCONF other than a custom RPC such as those already defined for this application specific purpose. Hope this helps...

Which parts in the referenced drafts should we look at, or can you provide an example? Thanks, Kent Hi, I have a general question related to management operations on operational data. The question is intended to be protocol agnostic, since as I understand it, the NETCONF management operations do not apply to data modelled in YANG where config is false. In other words, there is no generic NETCONF RPC that will, for example, delete entries in a table of operational data. My question arises because we are implementing a feature that is defined using YANG, and has custom NETCONF RPCs whose operations can create, modify and delete rows of a YANG list that has entries that are both config is true and config is false. The rows that are config is false are the only rows that can be affected by the custom NETCONF RPCs; the other rows are affected only by the standard NETCONF management RPCs. However, there is a need for management operations to be able to remove the rows and the operations associated with them for various reasons. So my question is this: what is the general approach to this problem? As mentioned above, for NETCONF, I believe the answer is that a custom RPC has to be used. But is this intended to be the case for all protocols that can deal with YANG modelled data? In case it matters, the specific case I'm dealing with is subscriptions as per https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-netconf-rfc5277bis-01 and https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-netconf-yang-push-04.
