KMIP 1.3 status Profiles by Tim Hudson
Tim presented in details regarding how to approach profiles documents specifically about structure and formatting for the test cases
Tim has posted the document/slides
KMIP 1.3 Merge profiles into a single document vs. keep the workflows into separate files
OASIS process requires XML document to be well formatted so we have to add a root element for each flow or separate files for each step
Bruce: No document notification, Judy; No document notification received from OASIS
Mark: Having them as individual files for each step does not make sense.
Tim: Combine common descriptions across the profile documents into a single section to avoid logical repetition
Tim: Define root element and have a single document with all the work flows for each test
We need to consider are the amount of work to be done by the editors, amount of work to be done by OASIS admins and the amount of work to be done by each vendor's testing team
Mark, Bruce: Agree that a single file for each test flow makes sense rather than one for each step
Tim: Will request SSIF chair to send the SSIF feedback to KMIP TC. These are mostly simple changes in the allowed variations area
Tim: Also John L. has raised some questions/concerns regarding Tape Library profile which needs to be addressed
Tim: Consensus is to have a root tag with KMIP element for the XMLs and wait for the file naming scheme by OASIS admins
Discussion around Errata for KMIP 1.2 vs. KMIP 1.3 priority
Tony: Getting inquiries regarding KMIP 1.3 especially automatic client registration seems to be interesting for the storage market and virtualization client industry. Priority for KMIP 1.3 is higher
Process to publish Errata is tedious for 10 profiles document, quite a bit of legwork
David Featherstone: Can we capture the Errata related KMIP 1.2 changes in the KMIP 1.3 document. That may be one way to address this issue
Plugfest Update
Tony: 2/3 TC members have shown interest for the plugfest and 2/3 vendors outside of TC have shown interest. Please let Tony know if you are interested. Tony will publish dates once confirmed
Tony: Will be talking at SSIF SDC Santa Clara. Looking for participants interested in panel discussion.
Actual on-site participation is not feasible due to logistical issues, way too hard to arrange with multiple vendors
Discussion about next meeting
Judy proposed that we go back to weekly meeting to expedite but cancel if we do not have enough agenda
Next meeting is on September 3rd/4th and we go back to weekly meeting thereafter
