Re: ForCES Protocol Implementation Issues

["Joel M. Halpern" <[e-mail]>]

If we want the FEState to be the way that a cE administratively
disables and FE, then we would need to make a larger change.  When I
drafted the FEState component, my expectation was that
administratively disable would reflect non-Forces interaction, such
as a "disable" CLI command.
Given that the other two values (operationally disabled and
operationally enabled) can not be used as the value in a set
operation, I think that to change this we would have to create two
separate variables, a read-write admin-status and a read-only
operation-status.  (I thought we had that at one point and decided
not to keep it, but I could be confused.)

Yours,
Joel
