  • Key: ALMAS11-28
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: BAE SYSTEMS ( Mr. Simon Mettrick)
  • Summary:

    In the COM & DLRL PSMs RaiseAlertFromOverrides should be RaiseAlertWithDynamicData (erroneous fix for ALMAS 11-11)

  • Reported: ALMAS 1.0 — Wed, 21 Aug 2019 16:40 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — ALMAS 1.1

Efficient use of dynamic data

  • Key: ALMAS11-11
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: BAE SYSTEMS ( Mr. Simon Mettrick)
  • Summary:

    The goal of templates and dynamic data, i.e. encapsulating HCI design time information outside of code and then just supplying runtime variant data - e.g. track or other object identifiers - is undermined by the methods available. The only way to supply dynamic data allows everything to be overridden, which is intended to be the abnormal case. An in-between method that just allows dynamic data to be supplied would be a much more friendly interface for alert producers.

  • Reported: ALMAS 1.0 — Mon, 24 Sep 2018 19:14 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — ALMAS 1.1
  • Disposition Summary:

    Create a RaiseAlertWithDynamicData operation

    Add operation RaiseAlertWithDynamicData to class ALMASProducer in the Management PIM package - see updated diagram attached
    7.3.5 p17 change first two sentences of paragraph 2 from
    "Three mechanisms by which alerts can be raised are provided by the ALMASProducer interface class. Two variants RaiseAlertFromTemplate and RaiseAlertFromOverrides allow the system to raise an alert by simply specifying the alert ID, template ID and their own ProducerID, one of these also allows the over-ride of any placeholders that may be present in the ‘Message’ attribute of the alert data class associated with that template."

    "Four mechanisms by which alerts can be raised are provided by the ALMASProducer interface class. Three variants RaiseAlertFromTemplate, RaiseAlertWithDynamicData and RaiseAlertFromOverrides allow the system to raise an alert by simply specifying the alert ID, template ID and their own ProducerID; with dynamic data allows the specification of the intentionally variable data to supplement the template alert definition; from overrides also allows the over-ride of any placeholders that may be present in the ‘Message’ attribute of the alert data class associated with that template."

Optionality in RaiseAlertFromOverrides

  • Key: ALMAS11-10
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: BAE SYSTEMS ( Mr. Simon Mettrick)
  • Summary:

    The optionality is not modelled in the PIM except for by way of explanation in the method's note.
    The Boolean flags in the DDS PSM struct do not encapsulate the information well - in particular it requires a producer to default an only partially used data structure, unions would be better.

  • Reported: ALMAS 1.0 — Mon, 24 Sep 2018 19:09 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — ALMAS 1.1
  • Disposition Summary:

    Use Optional IDL syntax in the DDS PSM

    Describe mapping of implicitly optional attributes / parameters from the PIM in the PSM.
    Use IDL syntax for optionality (i.e. @optional)

  • Updated: Wed, 13 May 2020 16:36 GMT

Untyped enumerations in the PIM

  • Key: ALMAS11-9
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: BAE SYSTEMS ( Mr. Simon Mettrick)
  • Summary:

    Several attributes in the PIM are typed as 'Enumeration'. The DDS PSM defines actual IDL enums for these with actual enumeration literals. The semantics of the literals are not defined there.
    The implementation of these enumerations are not dependent on an implementation technology such as DDS and therefore should be standardised in the PIM - and properly documented.

  • Reported: ALMAS 1.0 — Mon, 24 Sep 2018 19:02 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — ALMAS 1.1
  • Disposition Summary:

    Define Enumerations in the PIM

    Add Enumeration classes for CategoryType, StateType, StatusType, ScopeType, TimeoutActionType and AckModelType to the PIM

Typedefs introduced in DDS PSM

  • Key: ALMAS11-8
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: BAE SYSTEMS ( Mr. Simon Mettrick)
  • Summary:

    IDL typedefs for ALMAS_AlertIDType, ALMAS_TemplateIDType & ALMAS_TimeoutType are introduced in the DDS PSM without explanation or correspondence with the PIM. Also the types are inconsistent: all int in PIM but long or long long in PSM. This should be consistent (and be so across all PSMs) and have rationale.

  • Reported: ALMAS 1.0 — Mon, 24 Sep 2018 18:46 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — ALMAS 1.1
  • Disposition Summary:

    PSM Typedefs to be explained and consistent

    ALMAS_AlertIDType is long for CORBA but long long for DDS
    Make it consistent with other mappings of int from PSM and hence be long for DDS too.
    Add explanation of Typedef introduction to PIM mapping discussion in section 9.1 (CORBA PSM rationale, referred to and followed by DDS PSM).

Missing attributes of Class Alert Data in the DDS PSM

  • Key: ALMAS11-7
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: BAE SYSTEMS ( Mr. Simon Mettrick)
  • Summary:

    struct ALMAS_AlertDataAttributesType (that maps to Class Alert Data - naming difference is subject to another issue) is missing correspondence with attribute TemplateID and the (unnamed) aggregation to class AlertDataExtraAttributes.

  • Reported: ALMAS 1.0 — Mon, 24 Sep 2018 18:38 GMT
  • Disposition: Duplicate or Merged — ALMAS 1.1
  • Disposition Summary:

    Resolve by aligning with PIM

DDS PSM Rationale Incomplete

  • Key: ALMAS11-6
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: BAE SYSTEMS ( Mr. Simon Mettrick)
  • Summary:

    The following issues should be discussed in the DDS PSM rationale section to be clear and unambiguous.

    • The actual pairing of request and response topics
    • The semantics, particularly uniqueness, of request_id values
    • UML feature mappings - e.g composition, multiplicities
    • Representation of optional attributes
  • Reported: ALMAS 1.0 — Mon, 24 Sep 2018 18:29 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — ALMAS 1.1
  • Disposition Summary:

    Define uniqueness of request ids and add compositions to mapping description

    Request Ids are to be unique across all ALMAS participants.
    The general UML mapping for CORBA and DDS PSMs is described in 9.1. It doesn't described composition explicitly, and should do so as per associations
    The pairing of requests and responses is no action
    The optionality of attributes is a duplicate

Class Alert Data has an inconsistent name in the DDS PSM

  • Key: ALMAS11-5
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: BAE SYSTEMS ( Mr. Simon Mettrick)
  • Summary:

    Class Alert Data in the Data Model PIM is mapped to struct ALMAS_AlertDataAttributesType in the DDS PSM; this has 'Attributes' additionally inserted into the name. For clarity in understanding the spec the name should be consistent.

  • Reported: ALMAS 1.0 — Mon, 24 Sep 2018 18:08 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — ALMAS 1.1
  • Disposition Summary:

    Align DDS PSM struct ALMAS_AlertData with PIM AlertData class

    rename ALMAS_AlertDataAttributesType to ALMAS_AlertDataType
    add the other additional attributes from original definition of struct ALMAS_AlertDataType
    remove original definition of struct ALMAS_AlertDataType
    place new definition of struct ALMAS_AlertDataType where the original one was

  • Updated: Wed, 13 May 2020 16:36 GMT

request_id should have its own type

  • Key: ALMAS11-4
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: BAE SYSTEMS ( Mr. Simon Mettrick)
  • Summary:

    The DDS DCPS PSM introduces a request_id parameter into each of the topic types for the ALMAS Management Service. However, it is defined as a "long long" in each case except one, ALMAS_RaiseAlertFromOverrides, where its just a "long". It should be consistently defined. It would also be a better abstraction if it had its own typedef defined in the PSM IDL.

  • Reported: ALMAS 1.0 — Mon, 24 Sep 2018 17:55 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — ALMAS 1.1
  • Disposition Summary:

Section 7.3 hierarchy

  • Key: ALMAS11-3
  • Legacy Issue Number: 13031
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: THALES ( Bert Van Der Meer)
  • Summary:

    Section 7.3: The hierarchy is defined in the Receiver Hierarchy Configuration File and is alert independent, so for all templates the same. Therefore RKParentType should be removed from ReceiverKind related to AlertTemplate in order to prevent a lot of redundant information. Solution: Remove RKParentType from ReceiverKind related to AlertTemplate.Instead, introduce a seperate class ReceiverHierarchy. Note that this has quite an impact on the PSMs!

Definition and behaviour of AlertDistributionNotification is not consistent

  • Key: ALMAS-43
  • Legacy Issue Number: 13169
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: THALES ( Bert Van Der Meer)
  • Summary:

    The name implies that the alert has been distributed, however the description says: "...has been received..." and the sequence diagram also shows that that the alertDistributionNotification is called as soon as the alert command has been received by ALMAS. Proposed solution: Since the intention of the AlertDistributionNotification is to confirm receipt of safety critical alerts, it is logical to include the distribution of the alert because a receiver alert command may effectively not result in a alert. This could happen because it is inhibited or there are no receivers available in the system. Therefore, in Figure 6.7 (Page 30) move sequence 3.1.1 to 3.1.6. Alternatively, alert distribution could be excluded, renaming alertDistributionNotification into alertCmdReceived

  • Source: THALES ( Bert Van Der Meer)
  • Summary:

    In the PIM, when creating an Alert ( RaiseAlertFrom...) it is required that the created Alert is returned as an out parameter (AlertID). This is omitted in the DCPS PSM. Here only the result in terms of successfull/not successfull is returned by means of a topic. Note that the created AlertID might be needed by the ALMASProducer for subsequent calls. Proposed solution: Define a new topic, called ALMAS CreatedAlert, containing request_id and AlertID.

  • Summary:

    By means of RaiseAlertFromData an alert can be raised that is not present in the ALMAS template database. However, receivers (ReceiverKind, see Section 6.2) can only be associated with templates. How can receivers now be defined? Solution: Include parameter AlertReceiverSet: StringSet (as with RaiseAlertFromOverrides)?

  • Disposition: Resolved — ALMAS 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    To reduce the complexity of this the approach taken is to change the AlertData parameter type to be an AlertTemplate parameter - this is not read or initialised from the XML, so the TemplateID field is invalid, but it reduces the complexity of the interface significantly.

mapping a number of methods

  • Key: ALMAS-30
  • Legacy Issue Number: 13022
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    It would be better to map a number of methods, which are now directly mapped on DDS level constructs, on control topics because of two reasons: 1. Without control topics a producer can not be directly notified of a producer or system related error/problem. E.g. when a producer produces a new alert, he can not be notified that this was not succesfull because no active receivers are present. 2. Much more important: An alert contains ""static"" information but also state information (e.g. AlertId, Currentstate, Receivers etc.). Only ALMAS should be allowed to maintain this information, not a producer. Because a producer can now write a complete Alert, it may also write state information. This would violate data hiding principles and therefore ALMAS would be unnecessarely complex and obscure. Solution: The following methods should map on control topics: 1. UpdateDynamicMessageData 2. SetAlertInhibited 3. RemoveAlertsWithDynamicMessageData 4. RaiseAlertFromOverrides 5. RaiseAlertFromData 6. UpdateAlert

RegisterReceiver mapped on DDS creation of a new listener/data reader (of topic ALMAS_Alert).

  • Key: ALMAS-29
  • Legacy Issue Number: 13021
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: THALES ( Bert Van Der Meer)
  • Summary:

    RegisterReceiver mapped on DDS creation of a new listener/data reader (of topic ALMAS_Alert). ALMAS must know which ReceiverKinds are active in the system at a certain moment. For example which roles are played that are interested in alerts. A (future) Role management system will not export such a relation because it will not import ALMAS particulars. Worse, it is not even able to do so because in OpenSplice it is not possible to determine which listeners are present for a certain topic. Even when that would be possible, there is no way to relate listeners to e.g. roles. Solution: For registration declare a new topic containing a RKType?

Catgorisation rules

  • Key: ALMAS-27
  • Legacy Issue Number: 13019
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: THALES ( Bert Van Der Meer)
  • Summary:

    Catgorisation rules must be defined offline by means of the "ALMAS categorisation rule file". Rules can be attached and detached to alerts by means of methods "AttachCategorisationRule" and "DetachCategorisationRule". An alert can only be attached after it exists, so after it is raised. However, the intention of categorisation is to do an action (e.g. raising an alert) according to a condition on occurence of an event. There seems to be a chicken-and-egg problem. Solution: Attach/detach AlertTemplate instead of Alert?

  • Reported: ALMAS 1.0b1 — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 04:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — ALMAS 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

Removal of alerts is not clearly addressed in the spec

  • Key: ALMAS-32
  • Legacy Issue Number: 13025
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: THALES ( Bert Van Der Meer)
  • Summary:

    Removal of alerts is not clearly addressed in the spec. Should be addressed explicitly. Solution: Alerts are removed as follows: . For all alert categories holds that they are removed when cancelled by the producer. . Information and Warning alerts: Removed when an acknowledge is required and the appropriate acknowledge is given or when a timeout is defined when the timeout is expired or when no timeout is defined a general (adaptable) timeout is assumed. . Action alert: Removed when HandleAlert is called by all addressees. . Situation alert: Will not be removed when HandleAlert is called by all addressees. Will only be removed if cancelled by producer.
