Describing Application Flows
The Global Application Flow Map is the point of entry for modeling which is used to represent the main exchanges between the application systems and the applications.
Creating a Global Application Flow Map
An application flow global map is used to represent all the flows exchanged between the elements of the application architecture. The elements represented are:
• application systems,
• applications,
• architecture users.
The interactions offered between these elements are application flows that carry a content.
Accessing the list of global application flow maps
To access the list of global application flow maps using the Application Architecture navigation pane:
Select Functionality Architecture > Global Application Flow Map.The list of global maps for application flows appears in the edit area.
The properties of a global application flow map
The complete description of a global application flow map is accessed from its properties pages.
The Characteristics properties page of the global application flow map provides access to:
• its Owner, by default, on creation of the global application flow map, the current library.
• its Name,
• the text of its Description.
The Scenario property page of a global application flow map provides access to the list of its components: application systems, applications, participants and flows.
