Describe an application system technical architecture
An application system technical architecture describes one of the configurations possible for deploying the applications of a system application. It describes which technical architecture is chosen for each of the applications that it contains and the communication protocols that they use to communicate with each other.An application system technical architecture is described by a technical architecture diagram composed of the following elements:
• Application Technical Architectures,
An application technical architecture describes one of the configurations possible for application deployment. It describes how the different technical areas of the application are connected to each other and the technologies and the communication protocols that they use. An application can have a number of possible technical architectures (E.g.: autonomous installation, horizontal or vertical deployment, etc.)• Partner micro-services,
A micro-service is a software component that can be deployed autonomously, but which does not directly provide an end user service. It can interact with other application services, applications or application systems. This is a deployable software component that uses software technologies. For example: an authentication service, a PDF file printing service.• Technical Data Areas,
A data technical area represents an organizational element of an application used to access the data necessary for the operation of this application. Each application technical area is associated with one or more technologies (E.g.: Oracle 12, SQL Server 2012, etc.). A data technical area can allow access to one or more data stores.• Technical communication lines.
A technical communication line represents a technical connection between architectures or application technical areas through client and server ports. Client technical port of an architecture or a technical area requires opening the communication line to server technical port of the other area or technical architecture.
For more details on technical architecture diagram, see Creating an Application Technical Architecture Diagram.Accessing the list of application system technical architectures
To access the list of application system technical architectures from the Application Architecture navigation pane:
Select Technical Architecture > Application System Technical Architectures.The list of application system technical architectures appears in the edit area.
Properties of an application system technical architecture
The complete description of an application system technical architecture can be accessed from its property pages.
The Characteristics property page of an application system technical architecture provides access to:
• its Name,
• Its Owner, by default the application specified when it was created.
• the text of its description.
With HOPEX IT Architecture V2 an application system technical architecture is described by other property pages.
• The Technical Architecture property page which provides access to the list of components of the described technical architecture.
• List of Deployment Architectures:
• List of Data Components:
• List of Flows.
For more information on the components of an application system technical architecture diagram, see Creating an Application Technical Architecture Diagram.• Reports page, used to access the different reports available on the described application technical architecture.
Creating an Application System Technical Architecture Diagram
The application system technical architecture description procedure is identical to that for application technical architecture. For more details, see Creating an Application Technical Architecture Diagram.
