    Hi folks, Monday (26 February 2007)

    [Based on further conversations with Rick Landau today,
    for input to the DMTF CIM Core WG at their Friday telecon this week.]

    Based on feedback from Aaron Merkins (IBM) on Rick's draft CR 901:

    I've just posted a revised CIM_PrintOutputTray class to:

      ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wims/cim/mofinput/ira-20070226.zip

        rel_0226.txt
        - this release note
        CIM_PrintOutputTray.mof
        - NEW version - prtOutputEntry translation

    Rick - please run mofpretty on this class and post result to:

      ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wims/cim/mofoutput/

    Change Log:

    (current version)
    - Deleted spurious unmatched quotation mark in "LocalizedDescription"
    - Changed "OutputType" property name to "Type" per groupings document
      (name mapping error)
    - Added "OtherType" and "OtherCapacityUnit" properties per CIM model
      rule requiring companion string properties for 'Other' enum values
    - Deleted 'Other' value from "OutputStacking" property (modelling error
      in original PresentOnOff textual convention in Printer MIB)

    (previous version)
    - Added three standard key properties per CIM model rules
      (for ManagedElement class)
    - Added ModelCorrespondence clause to "PrinterName" property
      (to move explanation to CIM_Printer.PrinterName in base class)
    - Added Key qualifier to "Id" property (prtOutputIndex)
    - Changed "Name" property name to "AdminName" (must not be localized)
    - Changed "Description" property name to "LocalizedDescription"
    - Deleted CIM_Printer.CurrentCharSet from "LocalizedDescription" because
      the CIM 'string' datatype charset is UCS-2 (plane 0 from Unicode)
    - Deleted correlating comments from Values and ValueMap clauses (which
      prevented mofpretty from folding the lines appropriately)

    Cheers,
    - Ira

    ISSUE: CIM model doesn't allow stand-alone 'Other' in enumerations

    RULE: For each CIM printing property

    (1) Dimension units property - w/ or w/out 'Other' value
        - delete dimension unit property
          - e.g., "CIM_PrintInputTray.DimUnit"
        - add PUnits clause to companion property (choose metric units)
          - e.g., "CIM_PrintInputTray.MediaDim[Feed|XFeed]DirDeclared"

    (2) Any units property - w/ 'Other' value
        - modelling error in source document
          - e.g., "PresentOnOff" in Printer MIB
        - delete 'Other' value in property
          - e.g., "CIM_PrintOutputTray.OffsetStacking"

    (3) Every remaining units property - w/ 'Other' value
        - ambiguous in source document
          - e.g., "PrtCapacityUnitTC" in Printer MIB
        - add new "OtherXxx" property
          - e.g., "CIM_PrintOutputTray.OtherCapacityUnit"
