In March 2006 HP, IBM®, Intel®, and Microsoft® announced plans to address customer concerns around competing management specifications. The roadmap provided a high-level overview of the strategy being used to achieve the goal of having a single set of specifications for resource access and manipulation, events, and management. As the work progresses, specifications are being made available for public review and feedback. In addition to WS-Resource Transfer, the second of these specifications, WS-ResourceCatalog, is now available.
To help you understand the work completed thus far, IBM has developed a migration document. This document highlights the work to date on the management reconciliation roadmap and presents its status and resolutions for a variety of audiences. With a diverse set of parties interested in the progress of this work, the migration document presents the status of the reconciliation work in several levels of technical detail, ranging from a high-level overview to a developer's guide for code migration.
