[MS-OXCPRPT] Missing ROP descriptions

Question

MS-OXCROPS - v2.0, section 2.2.8.11 "RopWriteAndCommitStream" states:
This remote operation writes bytes to a stream and commits the stream. More detailed information about this operation can be found in [MS-OXCPRPT].

Similarly, MS-OXCROPS - v2.0, section 2.2.8.12 "RopCloneStream" states:
This remote operation creates a new stream object based on the same data as another stream. More detailed information about this operation can be found in [MS-OXCPRPT].

However [MS-OXCPRPT] - v2.0 does not appear to contain any mention of these two ROPs.

Can you advise of the missing content, or advise where it can be found?

Brad

Answer 1

Also for MS-OXCROPS section 2.2.5.18 RopGetValidAttachments, which states:
This remote operation gets the valid attachment identifiers of a message. More detailed information about this operation can be found in [MS-OXCMSG].

However MS-OXCMSG v2.0 does not appear to contain any mention of this ROP.

Answer 2

Good catch Brad.  I have filed a TDI to find out what happened here.

Hi Brad,

I was hopeful that I had a response but I reviewed the information and realized that it was the content that was sent to me already existed in [MS-OXCROPS].  So I re-asked development if they could provide me some some details for those ROPs.

Hi Brad,

The details of RopWriteAndCommitStream operative equivalent of RopWriteStream + RopCommitStream as documented for each ROP in [MS-OXCPRPT]. The ROP is only issued for message and attachment streams. This ROP must not be used for streams on folders. Note that this ROP is not used by Outlook 2007 and greater.

RopCloneStream creates a new stream object for accessing the same bytes but using a separate seek pointer. The new stream object sees the same data as the source-stream object. Changes written to one object are immediately visible in the other. The initial setting of the seek pointer in the cloned stream instance is the same as the current setting of the seek pointer in the original stream at the time of the clone operation.

Still waiting on feedback for RopGetValidAttachments.

Brad,

Development has commited to updating the content for RopGetValidAttachments in a future release.  Feedback is that there is not alot of additional information outside of what is currently specified in the field descriptions in [MS-OXCROPS].    

I am going to mark this as answered for now and feel free to provide feedback once [MS-OXCMSG] has been updated.

Is there a planned update to [MS-OXCPRPT]? Looks like v20090712 still doesn't mention these.
