Coexistence of Specifications

This appendix is informative.

Integration of more than one service on a SPIRIT Platform might be restricted by conflicts of resources used within the platform. To meet the coexistence requirement described in Conformance to System Sets , vendors must ensure that their implementations do not have these conflicts. The following list includes causes of potential conflicts collected from Service Providers' experiences:

• environmental or system variables

• I/O, including usage of file parameters

• communication resources, including interface ports

• third-party shared libraries

• GUI resources

• IPC (Inter Process Call) resources

• usage of threads

• conflict of names, including entry points; that is, symbols

• compiler and linker options used in the generation of the object modules.

Note that the above list is not exhaustive.
