For concall Thurs. </TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY>  WIMS-CIM participants: RE: action item to produce a list of Printer MIB properties and priorities For the meeting Thursday, I just uploaded two fun files to <A HREF="ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wims/cim/">ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wims/cim/</A> (They aren't working documents, so I didn't think they belonged in wd/.)  1.  PrinterMibObjectsToAdd_20060725.xls A spreadsheet containing a list of all PrinterMIB v2 properties, and some of their abstract containers, and my votes for priorities.  Question: what properties should be carried forward to a new CIM PrintDevice class (whatever it is named)?  Priority levels are A = Must be visible.  B = Nice to have but not essential; gravy.  C = Don't bother.  The responses are in three columns, A, B, and C, with an entry being either blank or 1 (one).  (Or a zero for irrelevant items that are just SNMP structure, such as table headers.)  I chose this weird representation so that I could add up all the columns to see if the numbers come out right, that is, did I forget to assign a priority to one of them.  There are areas for several other of the regular participants to add their priorities, too, and comments, and we can combine and discuss the results.  2.  PrinterMibObjectPriorities_Reasoning_RBL_20060724.rtf A brief text (MS Word) document giving hints at the reasoning that I used in coming up with the priorities I assigned.  What is the target set of printers that I aimed for, what is important (to me, at least) to sense, monitor, or manage about those printers, etc.  Please remember, in this exercise, we can always add properties later, through a relatively painless CR process, so I am trying to aim low for this first pass.  Happy reading.  Thanks. rick ---------------------- Richard_Landau(at)dell(dot)com, Stds & System Mgt Arch, CTO Office +1-512-728-9023, One Dell Way, RR5-3 MS 8509, Round Rock, TX 78682 </BODY> </HTML>
