RE: [wsdm][uplat] Transactions

Title: Message

Can we just say that "reasons to include" are that manager 
may request to perform multiple operations on the manageable resource and 
integrity of combined request may need to be preserved. Also that transactions 
are part of regular WSs and implementations of manageability merely makes use of 
those existing capabilities of WSs.

Transactions

Definition:

A 
"unit of work" that consists of 
multiple actions against a single resource, the same action applied to multiple 
resources, or multiple actions against multiple resources.  The "unit of work" 
should be executed once and only once, even if due to transmission failures or other errors, the 
request may be received multiple times.

 

Reasons to 
include:

Grouping actions 
against resources and assuring their execution/failure is very valuable.  
Activities such as IETF's NetConf discuss "transactions".  The goal is for 
MUWS to be a superset of the functionality in NetConf - avoiding the need for 
multiple protocols/solutions in implementations.
