All,

 Some comments and questions.

1.       It is common usage that a Job is submitted to the Service. This is in Abstract to the Resource Service  and at various places in the text. I have used the expression extensively in working on the General document. But in the model that is being defined, the user/client submits a CreateJob request, and perhaps he submits a document, but the Service creates the job. At least that is my understanding. Since this aspect of the model is different from common usage, I suggest we avoid the terminology of “submitting a job” in that it would reinforce a concept contrary to the Model.

2.       I have trouble with saying that the Resource Service is accepting Jobs (para 6.5.10.2.1 et al). From my understanding of the overall model, it does not accept, create or deal with jobs. It accepts and provides information about accepted resources to a user/client. It provides resources to other Services. Should this be “is accepting  and supplying resources”

3.       If we agree in general that  paths to and from Testing are implementation dependent, I suggest that the “test” operation be removed and perhaps that the Testing state be removed from 6.5.10.2.1 and 6.5.10.2.2

4.       The sole purpose is to provide resources to other services.  Yet are we considering the Resource Service to be completely independent and separate from  the Job Processing services?

a.       Are the basic service operations described in Section 7.1 the  inter-service operations as well setup and configuration operations with a Client/User?

b.       Is there but one access path, so that in the Idle State, it is handling neither client or Service requests? And in the Processing state, it is handling requests from a either client or another Service?

c.       When it is Down and offline with respect to clients, is it also offline with respect  to responding to other services, perhaps in the same device?

5.       SetResourceElements (7.1.11) and all of the Administrative  Resource Service Operations  (7.2) are not indicated as Required or Optional.

6.       In the compliance section (8), requirements are placed on clients and Resource Service.  If the operations listed also apply to the supported Services, are these Services also Resource Service clients? If so, I suggest that it is not reasonable to require them to support all of the “required” operations.

Thanks,

Bill Wagner
