Service analysis

The objective of the Service Analysis Roadmap step is to use the Business Object Model (BOM) to define an enterprise view of the business concepts and capabilities that relate to the documented requirements, independent of implementation considerations.

Business processes are analyzed to identify the service candidates that are mapped from BOM and new activities that represent new service candidates. The outputs of this phase are a new and customized capability operation for each identified service candidate, and customized data concepts that enable their interaction with other services.

The following steps are detailed for the worked example:

Performing capability analysis on a customized Process Model
Defining a capability in the BOM
Performing data analysis based on data requirements
Customizing the BOM class model

Reviewing service candidates in APM
This topic explains how to review service candidates in the Analysis Process Model (APM).
Identifying service capability operations in BOM
Where service candidates have been identified in the Analysis Process Model (APM), the next step is to identify and associate service capability operations in the Business Object Model (BOM), or create one if none exists.
Creating and customizing service capability operations in BOM
This topic explains how to create and customize service capability operations in the Business Object Model (BOM).
Mapping BOM capability operations to APM global tasks
Where a new capability operation has been created in the Business Object Model (BOM), map the operation to the global task in the Analysis Process Model (APM) from which it is derived.
Reviewing business concepts in BOM
Review the existing Business Object Model (BOM) class SignatureSpecimen.
Creating and customizing business concepts in BOM
In this task, a new enumeration type, enumeration literals and attributes are added to the Business Object Model (BOM) logical view.
Validating BOM
Validation rules for the Customization Roadmap are supplied by the Industry Models Utilities for RSA. The validation rules verify that the Roadmap steps have been correctly followed, to support best practice in model customizations.
