Hi,
Below is a complete rewrite of the Enterprise Management sequence
diagrams into four separate figures, each with their own short
set of notes (so that each fits on a page in the WIMS spec, per
request of Bill Wagner).
This set reflects the new simplified ExecuteAction operation sent
out earlier today.
Jerry - some critical text got lost in your previous Visio rendering,
for example '{SubscribeForAlerts action in Schedule} (1)', which
is at the beginning of the 2nd figure.
Cheers,
- Ira

Figure 3 'Enterprise Management - Association'
Notes:
(1) Top-level WIMS Manager (on left in diagram) starts downstream
connection to WIMS Proxy including authentication of WIMS Proxy.
(2) WIMS Proxy (in middle of diagram) accepts incoming connection
from WIMS Manager and completes authentication.
(3) WIMS Manager proposes management association with WIMS Proxy by
sending BeginManagement request containing its supported objects,
operations, and actions and Schedule object (w/ SubscribeForAlerts
action).
(4) WIMS Proxy (Agent) accepts management association with WIMS Manager
by replying with BeginManagement response, specifying its own
supported objects, operations, and actions and a PWG standard status
of "SuccessfulOk" and begins processing the new Schedule (i.e.,
scanning for Actions that have triggered).
(5) WIMS Manager sends disconnect indication to WIMS Proxy.
(6) WIMS Proxy sends disconnect OK to WIMS Manager.

Figure 4 'Enterprise Management - Scheduled Action'
Notes:
(1) WIMS Proxy (in middle of diagram) processes SubscribeForAlerts
action (in Schedule) by creating Subscription object (for event
notifications) and starting upstream connection to WIMS Manager
including authentication of WIMS Manager.
(2) Top-level WIMS Manager (on left in diagram) accepts incoming
connection from WIMS Proxy and completes authentication.
(3) WIMS Proxy sends SendReports request to WIMS Manager specifying
NotifyEvents element (list of events) from Subscription object.
(4) WIMS Manager replies with SendReports response specifying PWG
standard status of "SuccessfulOk".
(5) WIMS Proxy sends disconnect indication to WIMS Manager.
(6) WIMS Manager sends disconnect OK to WIMS Proxy.

Figure 5 'Enterprise Management - Local Action'
Notes:
(1) Top-level WIMS Manager (on left in diagram) starts downstream
connection to WIMS Proxy including authentication of WIMS Proxy.
(2) WIMS Proxy (in middle of diagram) accepts incoming connection
from WIMS Manager and completes authentication.
(3) WIMS Manager reads list of supported WIMS or legacy agents by
sending ExecuteAction request containing GetElements action for
ManagerAgentSupported element in Manager object.
(4) WIMS Proxy (Agent) processes GetElements action by sending
ExecuteAction response specifying PWG standard status of
"SuccessfulOk" and ManagerAgentSupported element from Manager
object in Report.
(5) WIMS Manager sends disconnect indication to WIMS Proxy.
(6) WIMS Proxy sends disconnect OK to WIMS Manager.

Figure 6 'Enterprise Management - Forwarded Action'
Notes:
(1) Top-level WIMS Manager (on left in diagram) starts downstream
connection to WIMS Proxy including authentication of WIMS Proxy.
(2) WIMS Proxy (in middle of diagram) accepts incoming connection
from WIMS Manager and completes authentication.
(3) WIMS Manager reads description of legacy agent by sending
ExecuteAction request containing GetElements action for AgentInfo
element in (mapped) Agent object.
(4) WIMS Proxy processes GetElements action by sending SNMP Get request
for sysDescr element in SNMP Agent MIB (RFC 3418, updates RFC 1213)
to SNMP Agent in legacy system (on right in diagram).
(5) SNMP Agent in legacy system replies with SNMP Get response
specifying sysDescr to WIMS Proxy.
(6) WIMS Proxy completes processing of GetElements action by sending
ExecuteAction response specifying PWG standard status of
"SuccessfulOk" and Agent Info element (mapped from sysDescr).
(7) WIMS Proxy sends disconnect indication to WIMS Manager.
(8) WIMS Manager sends disconnect OK to WIMS Proxy.
