[comp.protocols.iso] CMISE confusion

restock@PacBell.COM (Bob Stockwell) (12/21/90)

I've been studying some of the ISO standards related to CMIS and found
some confusing information (what just one??).

In DP 10165 "Structure of Management Information"  Part I section 5.2.1
"Management Operations - Attribute Oriented Operations".they list
several possible operations, including: 1) Get attribute value, 2)
Replace attribute value, 3) Set-to-default value, 4) Add attribute
value, and 5) Remove attribute value.  But the CMIS and CMIP
specification only support GET and SET with no distinction between the
various flavors of SET.  All the various flavors of SET look useful,
but I can't figure out how to use them.
