In doing the exercise... some thoughts... 1. I gave greater weight to stuff we added in Printer MIB v2 because if it wasn't so important... why'd we add it? 2. I see a lot of people put prtGeneral last because it "depends on all other classes". But there are some very useful (independent) attributes in prtGeneral (like Name, S/N, Operator/ServicePerson etc.) 3. Where does <tt>hrPrinterDetectedErrorState</tt> fall in all of this? Not part of Printer MIB but... as you all know... one of my all time favorites ;-)   - hrDeviceStatus, hrPrinterStatus, hrDeviceID and sysDescr... all fundamental (and so were referenced in the Printer MIB), My ordering of the list... <tt>(0)  CIM_Printer - prtGeneralTable (contains valuable independent elements: example S/N)</tt> <tt>(1)  CIM_PrintAlertLog - prtAlertTable</tt> <tt>(2)  CIM_PrintAlertRecord - prtAlertEntry </tt> <tt>       I agree with Rick… these are inseparable</tt> <tt>(3)  CIM_PrintInputTray - prtInputTable - done - not submitted to DMTF</tt> <tt>(4)  CIM_PrintOutputTray - prtOutputTable - done - in progress at DMTF</tt> <tt>(5)  CIM_PrintDeviceCover – prtCoverTable</tt> <tt>(6)  CIM_PrintMarker - prtMarkerTable - done - not submitted to DMTF</tt> <tt>(7)  CIM_PrintSupply - prtMarkerSuppliesTable</tt> <tt>(8)  CIM_PrintConsoleDisplayBuffer – prtConsoleDisplayBufferTable</tt> <tt>(9)  CIM_PrintColorant - prtMarkerColorantTable</tt> <tt>(10) CIM_PrintConsoleLight – prtConsoleLightTable</tt> <tt>(11) CIM_PrintMediaPath - prtMediaPathTable</tt> <tt>(12) CIM_PrintInterpreter - prtInterpreterTable</tt> <tt>(13) CIM_PrintChannel - prtChannelTable - done - not submitted to DMTF</tt> ---------------------------------------------- Harry Lewis IBM STSM Intellectual Property, Standards and Licensing Chairman - ISTO Printer Working Group 303-924-5337 ---------------------------------------------- <table width=100%> <tr valign=top> <td width=40%>"McDonald, Ira" <imcdonald@sharplabs.com> Sent by: owner-pwg-announce@pwg.org 04/05/2007 03:12 PM <td width=59%> <table width=100%> <tr valign=top> <td> <div align=right>To</div> <td><pwg-announce@pwg.org> <tr valign=top> <td> <div align=right>cc</div> <td> <tr valign=top> <td> <div align=right>Subject</div> <td>PWG-ANNOUNCE> ACTION - Ordered list of CIM MOF classes - due Wed 11 April</table> <table> <tr valign=top> <td> <td></table> </table> <tt>Hi,                                              Thursday (5 April 2007) *** Action:    Send your ordered list of CIM MOF classes *** Due Date:  End-of-day Wednesday 11 April 2007 *** To:        All PWG members *** Reply To:  wims@pwg.org *** Note:      Do NOT reply to pwg-announce@pwg.org Background:  As a result of the slow CIM Core WG process, we urgently need to reach concensus on the ORDER in which we will model the tables from the Printer MIB (RFC 1759/3805) into CIM MOF classes, as described in Rick Landau's document posted in the directory:    ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wims/cim in the file:    td_PrintClassGroupings_v09_20070208.pdf Below is my own ordered list of CIM MOF classes: (0)  CIM_PrintOutputTray - prtOutputTable - done - in progress at DMTF (1)  CIM_PrintInputTray - prtInputTable - done - not submitted to DMTF (2)  CIM_PrintMarker - prtMarkerTable - done - not submitted to DMTF (3)  CIM_PrintChannel - prtChannelTable - done - not submitted to DMTF (4)  CIM_PrintSupply - prtMarkerSuppliesTable (5)  CIM_PrintDeviceCover - prtCoverTable (6)  CIM_PrintAlertLog - prtAlertTable (7)  CIM_PrintAlertRecord - prtAlertEntry (8)  CIM_PrintMediaPath - prtMediaPathTable (9)  CIM_PrintInterpreter - prtInterpreterTable (10) CIM_PrintColorant - prtMarkerColorantTable (11) CIM_PrintConsoleLight - prtConsoleLightTable (12) CIM_PrintConsoleDisplayBuffer - prtConsoleDisplayBufferTable (13) CIM_Printer - prtGeneralTable - last - depends on all other classes At the WIMS-CIM telecon on Thursday 12 April we will determine concensus on the ordered list - Rick Landau and I will follow this concensus.
