The NSOV-1 Report Template
The NSOV-1 report template is delivered with a report that displays the service taxonomy represented as a hierarchy. This template is defined with two parameters:
• The Architecture parameter which indicates the architecture to be analyzed.
• The Business Service parameter, which is optional. This parameter is used to reduce the scope of the study to the specified business services of the architecture. If this parameter is not set, all the business services defined within the architecture are taken into account.
The NSOV-1 Service Specialization Hierarchy Chapter
This chapter shows how the different services of the architecture are specialized. In fact variants of certain services are created to add more detail and specifics to fit and support particular scenarios of the architecture.
To show these variants, the Specialization Hierarchy chapter presents the varied objects and their variants in a table. The libraries to which the services belong as well as the comments of these objects are also indicated.
To create new specializations (variants), use the New > Variant command on the service to be varied (specialized).The NSOV-1 Service Generalization Hierarchy Chapter
This chapter shows how the different services of the architecture are generalized.
The variants of services are presented in table form along with the varied services (service from which the variant was created). The comments and library to which the services belong are also presented.
To add a new generalization, use the Connect > Variant Of command of the specialized item (variant).The NSOV-1 Service Dictionary Chapter
The Service Dictionary chapter provides an alphabetical list of the services defined in the architecture.
It also specifies the service category (here, operational).
