WOLA BBOC CSD Ressource

Using the WOLA interface is quite difficult and does not allow the use of dynamic changes in a running system. e.g. One is forced to use BBOC STOP_SRVR and then the corresponding BBOC START_SRVR (with all parameters). This has quite a few disadvantages: The first being that it contains a (albeit small) downtime but there is also a problem using some interfaces, e.g. the Modify Command, passing parameters to the BBOC START_SRVR because the length of the parameters exceeds the allowed length of 126 characters.

We want to define the BBOC parameter information as a CSD WOLA Resource.

    We have assessed this requirement. We have no current plans for this to be implemented and so this requirement is being declined at this point.
