As we continue our effort to move the Automation specification towards convergence, there are two important new areas of updates to review based on last week's discussion. These are a) updates discussed in the meeting to attempt to finalize the "in" and "out" parameter names and descriptions and b) the inclusion of wording and a new attribute to support the synchronous automation scenario.
Splitting this e-mail into two parts to allow for better on-topic comments. Summary and sections to review for the synchronous scenario: - Description of the synchronous interaction style: http://open-services.net/bin/view/Main/AutoSpecificationV2#Automation_Service_Provider_Capa - A new Automation Request attribute to allow clients to indicate they can handle synchronous interactions: http://open-services.net/bin/view/Main/AutoSpecificationV2#Resource_AutomationRequest - Update to Query Capability requirements (MUST for asynch capable providers): http://open-services.net/bin/view/Main/AutoSpecificationV2#Query_Capabilities - Update to HTTP method requirements: http://open-services.net/bin/view/Main/AutoSpecificationV2#Automation_Service_Provider_HTTP Regards, Mike Michael Fiedler IBM Rational Software [email protected] 919-254-4170
