COSMOS SDD Tooling BTG Data Type Comparisons

Contents

Preface

This document will describe the way in which the aggregator will work. Upon reading in SDD snippets to merge, the aggregator will start at the top level of either the DeploymentDescriptorType or the PackageDescriptorType. As we start our comparisons, we will look to this chart for what we will compare for each type. We will then traverse down through the sdd as we make our way through the chart, comparing in each type what we have marked with compare in the chart. If this comparison is not a simple type, we will call its type's comparing function, and this will continue until we can determine if the upper level type can be merged, at which point it will be added to our new aggregate sdd.

The work will be broken down into a class for each type, along with a class to read in the sdd snippets and to start the process. The type classes will contain functions for comparing and merging that type.

Common Schema Elements

DescriptorInfoGroup

<xsd:attributeGroup name="DescriptorInfoGroup">
  <xsd:attribute name="schemaVersion" type="xsd:string" fixed="1.0" use="required"/>
  <xsd:attribute name="descriptorID" type="sdd-common:UUIDType" use="required"/>
  <xsd:attribute name="lastModified" type="xsd:dateTime" use="required"/>
  <xsd:attribute name="descriptorLanguageBundle" type="xsd:token" use="optional"/>
  <xsd:anyAttribute namespace="##other" processContents="lax"/>
</xsd:attributeGroup>
Type Element Attribute Data Type Compare?
DescriptorInfoGroup
schemaVersion xsd:string Throw Away
descriptorID <UUIDType> Throw Away
lastModified xsd:dateTime Throw Away
descriptorLanguageBundle xsd:token Merge
any namespace="##other"  ?

Notes:
DescriptorInfoGroup is always merged.

<DisplayTextType>

<xsd:complexType name="DisplayTextType">
  <xsd:simpleContent>
    <xsd:extension base="xsd:string">
      <xsd:attribute name="translationKey" type="xsd:NCName" use="optional"/>
    </xsd:extension>
  </xsd:simpleContent>
</xsd:complexType>
Type Element Attribute Data Type Compare?
<DisplayTextType> Extension Of: xsd:string Yes
translationKey xsd:NCName Merge

Notes:
DisplayTextType is always merged. When xsd:strings are equal, the merging algorithm must resolve translationKey and choose one of the translations to use.

<VersionType>

<xsd:simpleType name="VersionType">
  <xsd:restriction base="xsd:string"/>
</xsd:simpleType>
Type Element Attribute Data Type Compare?
<VersionType> xsd:string Yes

<FixIdentityType>

<xsd:complexType name="FixIdentityType">
  <xsd:sequence>
    <xsd:element name="Name" type="xsd:NMTOKEN"/>
    <xsd:element name="Description" type="sdd-common:DisplayTextType"/>
    <xsd:element name="ShortDescription" type="sdd-common:DisplayTextType" minOccurs="0"/>
    <xsd:element name="Symptom" type="sdd-common:DisplayTextType" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
    <xsd:any namespace="##other" processContents="lax" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
  </xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
Type Element Attribute Data Type Compare?
<FixIdentityType>
Name xsd:NMTOKEN Yes
Description <DisplayTextType> Merge
ShortDescription <DisplayTextType> Merge
Symptom <DisplayTextType> Merge
any namespace="##other"  ?

<MaintenanceInformationType>

<xsd:complexType name="MaintenanceInformationType">
  <xsd:sequence>
    <xsd:element name="Severity" type="sdd-common:DisplayTextType" minOccurs="0"/>
    <xsd:element name="Category" type="sdd-common:DisplayTextType" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>	
    <xsd:element name="Fix" type="sdd-common:FixIdentityType" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
    <xsd:element name="Supersedes" type="sdd-common:MaintenanceInformationType" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
    <xsd:any namespace="##other" processContents="lax" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
  </xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
Type Element Attribute Data Type Compare?
<MaintenanceInformationType>
Severity <DisplayTextType> Merge
Category <DisplayTextType> Merge
Fix <FixIdentityType> Yes
Supersedes <MaintenanceInformationType> Merge
any namespace="##other"  ?

Notes:
In a MaintenanceInformationType, all Categories apply to all Fixes. When merging two or more instances, it's important to only keep information that is true for all inputs. So, all fixes are kept and as many categories as apply to all fixes are kept.

For example, if MI one contains category FUNCTION and fix A, MI two contains categories FUNCTION, PERFORMANCE and fixes B,C and MI three contains category PERFORMANCE and fix D - the merged MI could contain no categories and fixes A,B,C,D.

Another case is when MI one contains category FUNCTION and fix A and MI two contains categories FUNCTION,PERFORMANCE and fixes B,C. Then the merged MI would contain category FUNCTION and fixes A,B,C.

<BuildInformationType>

Notes:
A warning should be logged describing the way minLength, maxLength and ValueValue are merged. The default is to combine all ValueValues, take the longest minLength and the shortest maxLength. If minLength ends up longer than maxLength, then throw an error.

For case, if the values don't match then the output becomes mixed. So, upper and lower would merge to mixed, as would upper and mixed or lower and mixed.

Merging Algorithm

Walk down the left list, checking if each item is equal to anything in the right list. If an item is equal to something in the right list, replace the left item with the item from the right and everything in the right list above that item (excluding items that have already been copied to the left list). Continue until reaching the end of the left list. If any un-copied items remain in the right list, append them to the end of the left list.

There are two special cases that have to be handled slightly differently. The first case is when an item in one list is equal to more than one item in the other list. Merging should take place as normal, but all priorities should be removed from the final list. This case is an error in the input so a warning should be logged. The second case is when an item in the left list is equal to an item in the right list that has already been copied to the left list. Normal merging should continue and the priorities should be removed from the final list.

Here's what the lists above would look like after merging:

Notes:
A merge can take place in the case where the units are the same or the units are different and the Aggregator can understand and covert between the units (like MB and KB). If the units are both different and not known the the Aggregator then the CapacityValueType is marked not equal and merging takes place farther up the tree.

When merging, use the highest Minimum and highest Maximum.

Notes:
If two weights are different (which means two inputs think the same Artifact takes two different times to install), then log a warning and do not include weight in the ouput.

When merging, type must go along as a pair with the contentRef or resourceRef that it's associated with.

When comparing conrentRef or resourceRef, compare the element pointed to instead of the references themselves.

If selections is out of range, modify it so that it is within the range (set to minimum if too small, set to maximum if too big).

Notes on Lineage Calculation

When calculating the lineage of an SDD element, it is necessary to include the element's ancestors and the children of those ancestors. When determining which children to include and how far down each child's tree to go, the basic logic is: Follow the Yeses. That means that only children whose Compare column is Yes in the above tables should be included in the lineage calculation, and only the Yes children of those children should be included, and so on. If a particular child has all Merge or No children, then walking down that branch should stop there.
