DSS2 — Section 10.1.2: Advisory Switches

  • Key: DSS2-69
  • Legacy Issue Number: 5178
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: MITRE ( Ms. Susan Symington)
  • Summary:

    This clause says that, "The enabling of an advisory switch directs that the RTI shall inform the joined federate, via the appropriate advisory notifications, whenever the conditions covered by that advisory change." However, it is not clear what the initial state of each advisory switch is. It is recommended that for purposes of determining whether the conditions covered by each advisory have changed, text be added that indicates that when the conditions required for sending each advisory become relevant at a given federate, the initial state of each advisory, as known by that federate, is as follows:
    1. Before a federate begins publishing an object class, the conditions covered by the Object Class Relevance Advisory switch are assumed to be such that the registration of new object instances of the specified object class is not advised.
    2. Before a federate begins publishing an interaction class, the interaction class is in the Interactions Turned Off state with respect to that federate. (see Figure 12)
    3. Before a federate becomes the owner of an instance attribute, the instance attribute is in the Updates Turned Off state with regard to that federate. (see Figure 14)
    4. Before a federate knows about an object instance, all of the instance attributes of that object instance are in the Attributes Out-of-Scope state with regard to the federate. (see Figure 14)
