[comp.protocols.iso] ROSE Services

ROSE Operations

Another question for all you ISO experts out there.

In examining the ROSE services closely, in conjunction with the
Directory services, it seems to me that aspects of the Directory Service
would be better transferred to the ROSE service element. Some examples
are:

The Abandon Operation (X.500)

It would appear to be generally useful for a ROSE-user to be able to
'abandon' an operation in progress, for a variety of conceivable
reasons, within many different applications.

Why not include an abandon service in ROSE? It would be the RO-ABANDON
service.

Service Problems (X.500)

The service problems defined in X.500 include:
   - busy
   - unavailable
   - unwillingToPerform

These seem quite reasonable to include with the RO-REJECT-U service.

yeah, but I think the idea of the current division was to allow
ROSE to be a generic Remote Operations ASE, usable in many different
SPPs (not just Directory).  As such, an effort to keep ROSE as simple 
and stupid as possible was probably made at the time...  (anyone
know how the other ROSE-users would like a RO-ABANDON service?  MHS-folks?)

ps: no one said ROSE was perfect, but at least it's somewhat stable!  ;-)
