  1. Version Redux SDD 1.1 General Direction Proposal

  2. Current Situation • Version strings are not normalized • Variation from OS to OS • Can be variation within an OS (eg. Windows) • Multiple version strings • Variation from application to application • How does an SDD producer specify version information in a form an SDD consumer can use?

  3. Scenario(s)/Use Case(s) • Windows XP example • For a Windows XP requirement which version string does an SDD producer specify in the SDD? • 5.1.2600 • Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158 : Service Pack 2 • Windows XP • All are valid version strings for Windows XP

  4. Proposal • Communicate version in the profile • Options • Create a Version complex type • Break the version strings into elements of particular “type” • Specify how the elements should be assembled for evaluation purposes • Make resource definitions in the profile more structured than the current enums and add version to the structure

  5. Proposal • Example: Create complex types for each OS currently listed in the enum • Add 0..n version elements to the new complex types • Primary version • Secondary version • Tertiary version • Etc. • Replace the current CIM_OperatingSystem complex type?

  6. Proposed Schema • TBD • Pending the decided approach

  7. Proposed Specification Change • TBD • Pending the decided approach
