Issues Descriptions

Error in ALMAS_RaiseAlertWithDynamicData topic struct declaration

  • Key: ALMAS12-46
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: BAE SYSTEMS ( Mr. Simon Mettrick)
  • Summary:

    The declaration of the DynamicMessages field is incomplete and incorrect.
    It is missing the DynamicMessages field name
    It has an extra space in the type's package qualification
    The type should be ALMAS_DynamicMessageDataTypeSet

  • Reported: ALMAS 1.1 — Tue, 8 Feb 2022 12:08 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — ALMAS 1.2

RaiseAlertFromOverrides Summary formatting

  • Key: ALMAS12-26
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: BAE SYSTEMS ( Mr. Simon Mettrick)
  • Summary:

    No space between sentences. Would be improved by inserting new-lines.

    Also RaiseAlertWithDynamicData has an extra new-line.

    Also RaiseAlertFromData needs a new-line instead of a space.

  • Disposition Summary:

Greater Granularity and Clarity in Conformance Levels

  • Key: ALMAS12-3
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: BAE SYSTEMS ( Mr. Simon Mettrick)
  • Summary:

    The Conformance section talks about general conformance level 1 functionality, but then adds extensions which are also numbered 1 to 4. There could be confusion as to what conformance to level 1 actually means.
    Also a useful system could be composed of components that implement a subset of the core (level 1) interface. Therefore, there should be one or more additional levels of conformance defined that reflects this.

  • Reported: ALMAS 1.1b1 — Mon, 31 Jan 2022 09:54 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — ALMAS 1.2
  • Disposition Summary:

    Basic, Advanced and Extended Conformance on an Interface Role Basis

    There are three distinct roles in the ALMAS abstracted by the interface classes defined in the ALMAS Management package: Producer, Manager and Receiver. Conformance should recognise that a conforming application will be performing only one of these roles and therefore only a subset of the interface will be applicable.
    Additionally, conformance should recognise a minimal basic level of conformance as a pathway to adoption and use of the specification. This is the set of methods to support raising and receiving alerts without templates, customisation or modification.

Inconsistency in DynamicMessageData param between PIM and PSM

  • Key: ALMAS12-45
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: BAE SYSTEMS ( Mr. Simon Mettrick)
  • Summary:

    In the PIM the parameter for DynamicMessageDataSet in operations RaiseAlertFromOverrides and RaiseAlertWithDynamicData is StringSet, but in the CORBA and DDS PSM the type is DynamicMessageDataTypeSet (which is a sequence of the DynamicMessageDataType struct)

  • Reported: ALMAS 1.1 — Tue, 8 Feb 2022 12:01 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — ALMAS 1.2
  • Disposition Summary:

    Re-align PIM for DynamicMessageDataSet

    Change the PIM type to match the PSMs as the additional information in the PSM types is required to enable the required behaviour. Also align the parameter names (i.e. change to DynamicMessages).

DDS PSM Mapping rationale for the ALMAS_CreatedAlert topic is missing

  • Key: ALMAS12-63
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: BAE SYSTEMS ( Mr. Simon Mettrick)
  • Summary:

    There is no rationale for the DDS DCPS/IDL PSM topic type ALMAS_CreatedAlert.
    By closer inspection, this is introduced to map to the AlertID out parameter of the various alert creation methods in the Producer interface.
    It is needed so that producer know the alert id and are therefore able to cancel alerts that they have previously raised.

  • Source: BAE SYSTEMS ( Mr. Simon Mettrick)
  • Summary:

Ambiguity in dynamic message data substitution

  • Key: ALMAS12-13
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: BAE SYSTEMS ( Mr. Simon Mettrick)
  • Summary:

    The description of class DynamicMessageData and its DataTag attribute is ambiguous as to whether one or two percent (%) markers are required. Also the protocol is ambiguous when there are 10 or more markers. Also, particularly with a single % marker there isn't a defined way to escape the markers.

  • Reported: ALMAS 1.1b1 — Sat, 5 Feb 2022 15:30 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — ALMAS 1.2
  • Disposition Summary:

    Clarify Dynamic Message Substitution

    Placeholder tags to be designated by a single exclosing percent characters.
    Multiple - in principle unbounded - replacements supported with each tag enclosed by space (or other non-alphanumeric character). The examples given in the current specification (t1, tn) are examples and more meaningful tags can be used and are encouraged (e.g. %number%, %score% or %name%).
    It is not necessary to provide a means of specifying a way to express %name% as a literal substring in a static message as this would have no meaning to a system user.
    Additionally, it should be possible to specify a replacement at the start or end of the static message. Equally it should be possible to have dynamic data at the start or end of the message and it should be possible to use punctuation around it (e.g. a comma). Therefore substitution points should be defined by:
    (start | non-alphanumeric)%t(numeric){end | non-alphanumeric)
    It is an error to specify static and dynamic data message instances with different substitution tags for the same alert template. In particular all static message instances (for different language locales) must have the same substitution set.

Formatting and duplication of Status description

  • Key: ALMAS12-8
