But for some reason, templates must be exchanged between different test components within the test system. Currently it is only allowed to use templates as parameters of a function, which could be used to start the behavior of a PTC. But there is no mechanism that allows the exchange of templates during runtime of the PTCs. We should allow send templates with undefined fields only for internal (connected) ports. For templates sent to SUT (mapped) ports, the template should remain fully defined.<br />
<br />
At the time of the send operation, the template shall be fully defined i.e. all fields shall resolve to actual values and no matching mechanisms shall be used in the template fields, neither directly nor indirectly.

It should be allowed that the a send template can contain matching values (*, ?, value lists, ranges, etc.) for internal (connected) ports. Matching rules to match matching values must be defined, e.g always use ? to match a matching value or * if the associated field is opional.</td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print-category">Tags</td><td class="print" colspan="5">No tags attached.</td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print-category">Relationships</td><td class="print" colspan="5"></td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print-category">Attached Files</td><td class="print" colspan="5"></td></tr><tr><td class="print-spacer" colspan="6"><hr size="1" /></td></tr><tr><td class="form-title">Issue History</td></tr><tr class="print-category"><td class="row-category-history">Date Modified</td><td class="row-category-history">Username</td><td class="row-category-history">Field</td><td class="row-category-history">Change</td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print">24-11-2006 14:46</td><td class="print"><a href="http://oldforge.etsi.org/mantis/view_user_page.php?id=56">Stephan Schulz</a></td><td class="print">New Issue</td><td class="print"></td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print">24-11-2006 14:46</td><td class="print"><a href="http://oldforge.etsi.org/mantis/view_user_page.php?id=56">Stephan Schulz</a></td><td class="print">Clause Reference(s)</td><td class="print"> =&gt; 14.1.1</td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print">24-11-2006 14:46</td><td class="print"><a href="http://oldforge.etsi.org/mantis/view_user_page.php?id=56">Stephan Schulz</a></td><td class="print">Source  (company  - Author)</td><td class="print"> =&gt; Siemens</td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print">24-11-2006 14:47</td><td class="print"><a href="http://oldforge.etsi.org/mantis/view_user_page.php?id=56">Stephan Schulz</a></td><td class="print">Note Added: 0000322</td><td class="print"></td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print">24-11-2006 14:47</td><td class="print"><a href="http://oldforge.etsi.org/mantis/view_user_page.php?id=56">Stephan Schulz</a></td><td class="print">Status</td><td class="print">new =&gt; feedback</td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print">24-11-2006 15:02</td><td class="print"><a href="http://oldforge.etsi.org/mantis/view_user_page.php?id=56">Stephan Schulz</a></td><td class="print">Note Added: 0000329</td><td class="print"></td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print">15-06-2007 19:14</td><td class="print"><a href="http://oldforge.etsi.org/mantis/view_user_page.php?id=56">Stephan Schulz</a></td><td class="print">Status</td><td class="print">feedback =&gt; assigned</td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print">15-06-2007 19:14</td><td class="print"><a href="http://oldforge.etsi.org/mantis/view_user_page.php?id=56">Stephan Schulz</a></td><td class="print">Assigned To</td><td class="print"> =&gt; Ina Schieferdecker</td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print">13-10-2007 19:24</td><td class="print"><a href="http://oldforge.etsi.org/mantis/view_user_page.php?id=81">Ina Schieferdecker</a></td><td class="print">Assigned To</td><td class="print">Ina Schieferdecker =&gt; Jens Grabowski</td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print">18-10-2007 13:11</td><td class="print"><a href="http://oldforge.etsi.org/mantis/view_user_page.php?id=81">Ina Schieferdecker</a></td><td class="print">Target Version</td><td class="print"> =&gt; Edition 4.1.1 (not yet published)</td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print">15-07-2008 11:43</td><td class="print"><a href="http://oldforge.etsi.org/mantis/view_user_page.php?id=81">Ina Schieferdecker</a></td><td class="print">Note Added: 0006274</td><td class="print"></td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print">15-07-2008 11:44</td><td class="print"><a href="http://oldforge.etsi.org/mantis/view_user_page.php?id=81">Ina Schieferdecker</a></td><td class="print">Status</td><td class="print">assigned =&gt; closed</td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print">15-07-2008 11:44</td><td class="print"><a href="http://oldforge.etsi.org/mantis/view_user_page.php?id=81">Ina Schieferdecker</a></td><td class="print">Resolution</td><td class="print">open =&gt; won't fix</td></tr></table>
