PSARC/2007/177 SMF Read-Protected Property Storage ARCed/specified the "read_authorization" property for property groups of type "application" (SCF_GROUP_APPLICATION). "application" is one of the predefined property group types. The others are "framework", "dependency", "method" and "template". SMF also provides for service bundles (manifests) to define other ``application-specific'' typed property groups as desired.
I'm working on a service bundle that would be more clear if I could apply a read_authorization property to an application-specific typed property group. Is there some reason that "read_authorization" properties should not be applied to ``application-specific'' typed property groups as well? I can see it being an error in "framework", "dependency", "method" and "template" typed property groups. Is there a reason not to ammend the case (new fast track) to allow for "application" and ``application-specific'' typed property groups? Is the code too complex to allow this? Keith, might it be possible for you to integrate this change if accepted with your code? I'm happy to code it up later if need be. Gary..
