Describing Interactions in an Artifact Assembly Diagram
In an artifact assembly diagram, the Interactions enable representation of exchanges between equipment resources.
For more details on interactions, see Managing Interactions.You can define interactions between:
• two equipment resources to represent terms of use of a resource by another in the context of the modeled resource architecture. For example, a business function application can depend on services provided by the electronic mail service.
• a service point and one or several artifact components to represent implementation of the service within the equipment architecture. For example, several software applications cover the required service.
• a component of artifact component type and a request point to represent that an equipment resource calls an external service.
