Describing physical solutions
The possibilities to describe physical solution depend on the product licenses that you have, for example:
• with HOPEX System Oriented IT Architecture, you have access to the Logical Application System Environments as well as to Application System Environments.
• with HOPEX IT Architecture, you have access to Resource Architecture Environments, for example.
The components of the application architecture
All application architecture components are accessible with the HOPEX IT Architecture and HOPEX System Oriented IT Architecture product licenses.
To access all the application components available to you depending on the product licenses that you have:
From the
Application architecture navigation pane, select
Inventories.
The list of application architecture building block types available appear.
The components of the technical architecture
The components of the technical architecture are accessible with the HOPEX IT Architecture product license.
To access all the application components available to you depending on the product licenses that you have:
From the
Technical architecture navigation pane, select

Connect the solution building blocks to an enterprise stage
To connect technical or application architecture building blocks to an enterprise stage:
1. In the property pages of the enterprise stage, select the Implementation page.
2. In the Physical solutions section, click Connect.
A selection window opens.
3. Select the environment type concerned and click Find.
A resource architecture environment presents a resource architecture use context. It describes the interactions, between the resource architecture and its external partners, which allows it to fulfill its mission and ensure the expected functionalities.
A resource architecture is the combination of physical and organizational assets configured to supply a capability.
An application system environment presents an application system use context. It describes the interactions between the application system and its external partners, which allows it to fulfill its mission and ensure the expected functionalities.
A logical application system environment presents a logical application system use context. It describes the interactions between the logical application system and its external partners, which allows it to fulfill its mission and ensure the expected functionalities.
4. Select the environment that interests you and click Connect.
The environment is connected to the enterprise stage as well as to all the building blocks that it comprises.
