Issue 1841:   Description of the InvalidId exception                                                                                                                                                                (pids-rtf2)

Nature:  Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: Summary: The description of the InvalidId exception implies that PIDS servers
 that only know about a subset of the IDs in an ID Domain would throw the
 InvalidId exception when a client passes an unknown ID to a call.  Many
 of the operation calls take a sequence of IDs and the spec implies the
 exception is thrown if any one of the passed in IDs are not known.  This
 is an over burden for a client to either know ahead of time which IDs
 the server knows about or handle an exception to remove the violating
 IDs and try again.  In relation to the definition of the InvalidId
 exception:
 
 	Please remove para 1 sentence 3.
 
 	PLease replace para 2 sentence 3 with "An Unkown ID passed into a call
 only causes an exception to be raised if the operation signature only
 takes one ID."

Subject: New PIDS Issue

(The PIDS RTF has already started discussing the below issue in
Orlando
but I can not find an issue # logged against it.  Please create one.)

The Use Cases in the Appendix of the adopted PIDS spec are not
consistent with the IDL and the rest of the document.  This should be
fixed.



(Please create a new PIDS issue for the following)

The description of the InvalidId exception implies that PIDS servers
that only know about a subset of the IDs in an ID Domain would throw
the
InvalidId exception when a client passes an unknown ID to a call.
Many
of the operation calls take a sequence of IDs and the spec implies the
exception is thrown if any one of the passed in IDs are not known.
This
is an over burden for a client to either know ahead of time which IDs
the server knows about or handle an exception to remove the violating
IDs and try again.  In relation to the definition of the InvalidId
exception:

	Please remove para 1 sentence 3.

	PLease replace para 2 sentence 3 with "An Unkown ID passed

takes one ID."
