The response from SAF was: Thank you for your feedback on the HPI specification. This feedback will be considered for future revisions of the specification.
Note, however, that this is not an oversight in the specification, today. Please review section 4.2 in the HPI B.03.02 specification. As it states, all the return codes in Table 2, which includes SA_ERR_HPI_NO_RESPONSE, are usable with any function where they are applicable. They are not individually listed with each function simply to avoid unnecessary repetition in the specification. So it looks like any HPI user needs to be aware that a function might return one of the ten Generic Return Codes. ________________________________ From: Kleber, Ulrich (NSN - DE/Munich) [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, June 14, 2010 9:29 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Openhpi-devel] Missing return value(s) for saHpiSessionOpen() Hi Michael, you are rising in interesting point. We are trying to implement the SAF specifications, so OpenHPI should use the return values as specified by SA Forum. Actually SaHpi.h is the official SAF headerfile for the HPI. But I agree with you that the definition of the saHpiSessionOpen lacks some necessary return values. And I don't think OpenHPI really should be limited in this case, since the listed return values are not enough. So I would suggest, you rise that issue to the SA Forum, so they will decide on the return values that should be used, e.g. when the library cannot connect to a domain or has an internal error - or maybe something else. Probably they will follow what OpenHPI has currently implemented. When you go to www.saforum.org<http://www.saforum.org>, you can click on "SPECIFICATIONS" and then see a button on the right: Provide Feedback on Specifications.
