Subject: HARMONIZATION - CQ Proposal (another one) for March

Karen,

Please add the (other) issue below to the list of CQ Harmonization items for the March 2005 Harmonization meeting.

TTYL,

-Rene

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Issue: "responseModeCode".

CQ requests 2 things:
1. Add a new attribute responseModeCode CS CNE[1..1] to the Transmission RIM class.
2. Add a new vocabulary domain responseModeCode to be associated with the new attribute, with values as defined below.

This is part of the CQ part of the dynamic model discussion as documented in proposal document 806. This harmonization request is based on proposal statement #806.12, as amended by proposal statement #806.14

Detailed description:

1. Add a new attribute responseModeCode CS CNE[1..1] to the Transmission RIM class. This attribute identifies the responsemode as defined by proposal statement 806.4. The attribute is added to the Transmission class (instead of the message class), because response modes apply to Batches as well as Messages. The attribute is associated with the vocabulary domain responseModeCode.

The description of the attribute is as follows: responseModeCode: This attribute defines how a receiver should deliver its reciever responsibilities, i.e. the expected dynamic behavior of the receiving application with regard to application response transmissions.

2. Add a new vocabulary domain responseModeCode with the following values:
I Immediate (The receiver is required to assume that the sender is blocking and behave appropriately by sending an immediate response.) D Deferred (The receiver may respond in a non-immediate manner. Note: 
this will be the default value)
Q Queue (The receiver shall keep any application responses in a queue until such a point in time the queue is polled)

This issue was discussed at length on various list, part of the discussion, as well as related issues, can be found in the 806 proposal document as can be found on the CQ documents download page.

The attribute will be fundamental to the revamped dynamic model in R2 of the MCCI domain.
