In my agent extension, I have to implement one or more objects that represents the "minutes of the week" (HH:MM of MON, THU, WED..). This is for a electronic programmable thermostat that can be configured differently for each day of the week.
I have four solutions, but I don't know what is the best. The first is to implement a single numerical object that represents the "minutes of the week". This is very simple (just one object) to implement, but I think it will be difficult to read from a user perspective (he or the SNMP manager should convert the minutes into the day the of week, hours and minutes). The second is to split the "minutes of the week" into three objects: day of the week (1...7), hours (0..23), minutes (0..59). The third is to code the "minutes of the week" as a standard DateAndTime textual convention of 8 bytes. In this case I should set to zero some fields (year, month, day, deci-seconds) and I don't know if some manager could crash with these strange values. The fourth is to define a new private/custom TimeOfWeek textual convetion of 3 bytes (day of the week 1..7, hours 0..23, minutes 0..59). What do you prefer? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
