UCM11 — Add cardinalities (i.e. min and max) for configuration parameters

Open Closed All
  • Key: UCM11-4
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: THALES ( Thomas Vergnaud)
  • Summary:

    It is impossible to declare optional configuration parameters or to specify that a configuration parameter can accept several values. See for example the following declaration of the standard technical policy for periodic component execution:

    <policyDef applicability="on_component_only" aspect="::core::comp_exec::comp_trig_asp" extends="::core::comp_exec::self_exec_comp" name="prdc_self_exec_comp">
  <comment>periodic self-executing component. It will invoke method run every period.</comment>
  <configParam name="psec_period" type="::core::basic_svc::clock::api::ucm_timeval_t"/>
  <configParam name="psec_priority" type="contracts::priority_t"/>
  <configParam name="psec_offset" type="::core::basic_svc::clock::api::ucm_timeval_t"/>
</policyDef>

    It has 3 mandatory parameters:

    • period
    • offset
    • priority

    While the period is obviously mandatory, the offset information might be optional. It would be nice to be able to specify that offset is not mandatory (min="0"):

    <policyDef applicability="on_component_only" aspect="::core::comp_exec::comp_trig_asp" extends="::core::comp_exec::self_exec_comp" name="prdc_self_exec_comp2">
  <configParam name="psec_period" type="::core::basic_svc::clock::api::ucm_timeval_t"/>
  <configParam name="psec_priority" type="contracts::priority_t"/>
  <configParam min="0" name="psec_offset" type="::core::basic_svc::clock::api::ucm_timeval_t"/>
</policyDef>

    Also, one could imagine some kind of complex policy with several different execution periods in order to create a complex execution pattern.

  • Disposition: Resolved — UCM 1.1
  • Disposition Summary:

    add lower and upper cardinalities to configuration parameters

    Add fields “lower” and “upper” to configuration parameters, just like UML does for properties.
