Subject:
Issues on 3.4.9 Object Information Query
I am missing functions that clearly report the relationships between the
objects. Although I assume that forward references are reported on [1], [2]
and [3], I would like to have this expressed clearly. In addition, reverse
references cannot be determined by the current version of the requirements
document, obviously.
Therefore, I would like to have the following additions in the protocol*:
---8<---
3.4.9[0] (to be inserted before [1])
All object information queries MUST report all references to other objects.
This MUST also include objects that are referenced implicitly, if the
existance of the reference may affect the outcome of any operation.
3.4.9[5]
For any existing object the protocol MUST provide services to determine all
reverse references, i.e. to list up the identifiers of those objects that use
the given object. This MUST also include objects that reference the given
object implicitly (e.g. name servers that belong to a given domain), if the
existance of the reference may affect the outcome of any operation (e.g.
deletions).
---8<---
regards,
Klaus Malorny
* this is, of course, a proposal. Sorry if the wording in this and previous
e-mails insults in any way.
