Annex C MTS(P1) PICS Proformas
C.1 General
As a prerequisite to conformance testing the supplier of an MTS(P1)
implementation must provide a Protocol Implementation Conformance
Statement (PICS).
The proforma MTS(P1) PICS contained in this Annex specifies the
information to be supplied.
This information is needed for test case selection. Suppliers
should note that tests will be performed to check that services
shown as not supported are in fact not present rather than
improperly implemented.
The MTS(P1) PICS is in two parts:
- a part requesting information concerning the support of service
elements,
- a part requesting information concerning the support of
protocol elements.
Information on service element support is requested in tabular form
where, for each service element,
- the status of the service element is indicated as mandatory
(M), optional (O) or not applicable (-) in columns labelled
"STD",
- the actual support of the service element by the implementation
on origination and reception is indicated by the supplier in
columns labelled "IMP".
Information on protocol element support is requested in tabular
form where, for each protocol element,
- the status of the protocol element on origination and reception
is indicated as mandatory (M) or optional (O) in columns
labelled "STD",
- any implementation constraints are indicated in the column
labelled "CONST STD" where constraints are interpreted as a
minimum for reception and a maximum for origination,
- the actual support of the protocol element by the
implementation on origination and on reception is indicated by
the supplier in the column labelled "STATUS IMP",
- the actual constraints of the implementation on origination and
on reception is indicated by the supplier in the columns
labelled "CONST IMP".
Constraints may be expressed as a length or size (octets,
bits,...), a value (32k-1) or a number of occurrences (4)
depending on the element being constrained.
C.2 Originator/Recipient/Relay Capability
Suppliers of an implementation should specify
Originator/Recipient/Relay capabilities in the IMPLEMENTED column
of Table C-1/X.403.
Table: C-1/X.403
C.3 MTS(P1) PICS Service Elements Proforma
The requirements of the X.400 Recommendations are shown in the STD
columns of the proforma using the following keys:
M : Mandatory element (X.401 Basic or Essential Optional)
O : Optional element (X.401 Additional Optional)
- : Not applicable service element
Suppliers of an implementation should use the IMP columns in the
proforma to specify information concerning the support of service
elements. For convenience it is suggested that suppliers need only
indicate with an "X" those service elements that are not supported.
Table: C-2/X.403 MTS(P1) Service Elements Proforma.
C.4 MTS(P1) Protocol Elements Proformas
The requirements of the X.400 Recommendations are shown in the
STATUS STD column of the proformas in Tables C-3/X.403 to C-6/X.403
using the following keys:
M : Mandatory element (X.401 Basic or Essential Optional)
O : Optional element (X.401 Additional Optional)
In the tables below protocol elements which correspond directly to
service elements are indicated as mandatory if their corresponding
service elements are shown in X.401 (1984) as Basic or Essential
Optional, and as optional if their corresponding service elements
are shown in X.401 (1984) as Additional Optional. Other protocol
elements are indicated as mandatory or optional according to their
designation in the MPDU definitions in X.411 (1984).
For relay functions, protocol elements are indicated as mandatory
or optional based only on their status in the P1 protocol
specification.
The pragmatic constraints of the X.400 Implementor's Guide are
shown in the CONS STD columns of the proformas in Tables C-3/X.403
to C-6/X.403.
Suppliers of an implementation should use:
- the STATUS IMP column in each proforma to specify information
concerning the support of protocol elements. For convenience it
is suggested that suppliers need only indicate with an "X" those
protocol elements that are not supported.
- the CONS IMP columns in each proforma to specify the actual
constraints of the implementation.

Annex D RTS PICS Proformas
D.1 General
As a prerequisite to the conformance testing of an RTS
implementation the supplier must provide a Protocol Implementation
Conformance Statement (PICS).
The proforma RTS PICS contained in this Annex specifies the
information to be supplied.
This information is needed for test case selection. Suppliers
should note that tests will be performed to check that services
shown as not supported are in fact not present rather than
improperly implemented.
The RTS PICS is in three parts:
- Two parts requesting information concerning the support of RTS
service primitives.
If primitives have only mandatory parameters they should be
marked as "not supported" if any of their parameters are not
supported.
- A part requesting information concerning the support of
protocol elements.
Information on service element support is requested in tabular form
where, for each service element,
- the status of the service element is indicated as mandatory
(M), optional (O), conditional (C) or not applicable (-) in
columns labelled "STD",
- the actual support of the service element by the implementation
as initiator or responder is indicated by the supplier in
columns labelled "IMP".
Information on protocol element support is requested in tabular
form where, for each protocol element,
- the status of the protocol element where the IUT is initiator or
responder is indicated as mandatory (M) or optional (O) in
columns labelled "STD",
- any implementation constraints are indicated in the column
labelled "CONST STD" where constraints are interpreted as a
minimum for reception and a maximum for origination,
- the actual support of the protocol element by the
implementation as initiator or responder is indicated by the
supplier in the column labelled "STATUS IMP",
- the actual constraints of the implementation as initiator or
responder are indicated by the supplier in the columns labelled
"CONST IMP".
Constraints may be expressed as a length or size (octets,
bits,...) or a value (32) depending on the element being
constrained.
D.2 RTS PICS service primitives proforma
The requirements of the X.400 Recommendations are shown in the STD
columns of the proforma using the following keys:
M : Mandatory element
O : Optional element
Suppliers of an implementation should use the IMP columns in the
proforma to specify information concerning the support of service
elements. For convenience it is suggested that suppliers need only
indicate with an "X" those service primitives that are not
supported.
Table: D-1/X.403
D.3 RTS PICS service parameters proforma
RTS service parameters are mapped to Session and Presentation as
below:
- The parameters of the OPEN.Request and the OPEN.Indication are
mapped to the SCONNECT.Request and SCONNECT.Indication and to
the corresponding PConnect.
- Responder/Initiator-address and Initial-turn are mapped to the
SCONNECT.
- Dialogue-mode, Application-protocol and User-data are mapped
to the PConnect.
- The parameters of the OPEN.Response and OPEN.Confirmation are
all mapped to PAccept or PRefuse.
Since all OPEN service parameters are mapped to the PConnect
protocol element (apart from Response-address and Initial-turn
which are mandatory) there is an apparent duplication of
information requested in Tables D-2/X.403 to D-5/X.403 with that
requested in Table D-6/X.403.
Tables D-2/X.403 to D-5/X.403 are useful nevertheless because they
make sure that all the mandatory parameters are really supported
and because they make a static conformance review easier.
The requirements of the X.400 Recommendations are shown in the STD
columns of the proforma using the following keys:
M : Mandatory parameters
O : Optional parameters
C : Conditional parameters
- : Not applicable service parameters
Suppliers of an implementation should use the IMP columns in the
proforma to specify information concerning the support of service
elements. For convenience it is suggested that suppliers need only
indicate with an "X" those service elements that are not supported.

D.4 RTS Protocol Elements
The requirements of the X.400 Recommendations are shown in the
STATUS STD column of the proforma in table D-6/X.403 using the
following keys:
M : Mandatory element
O : Optional element
The pragmatic constraints of the X.400 Implementor's Guide are
shown in the CONS STD columns of the proforma in table D-6/X.403.
Suppliers of an implementation should use:
- the STATUS IMP column in the proforma to specify information
concerning the support of protocol elements. For convenience it
is suggested that suppliers need only indicate with an "X" those
protocol elements that are not supported.
- the CONS IMP columns in the proforma to specify the actual
constraints of the implementation.
For some parameters only one value is applicable (e.g.
DataTransferSyntax : 0). There are other parameters (e.g.
checkpointSize, RefuseReason) that may vary under various
circumstances and run-time conditions. This information is
available in a PIXIT and in such cases a reference to the PIXIT
normally can be made in the constraints-field, if the parameter
is not fixed.
In a recovery, the SessionConnectionId is used in the PConnect
and the PAccept. This SessionConnectionId may or may not be
encoded according to X.409. This information is not important
for the PICS because it is not a criterion for the Static
Conformance Review or for the Test Case Selection and would
normally be given in a PIXIT.
