1. Business Definition

A business definition includes the business name, the definition of the data table, as well as the definitions of service groups, services, and paths within the business. The following section explains in detail how to define them.

00-Terms Explanation

A business can consist of multiple services and paths. Services can be fully user-defined and added to a custom service group; alternatively, you can define only the service group, and the services will be automatically generated within the group — this is referred to as an auto-grouped service group. Paths are defined by specifying the access relationships between services. The diagram above illustrates the following:

• Business: Mobile Banking Business
• Services:
  • Independent service not in any group: Frontend Load Service
  • Added to a custom service group, frontend service group: Operations Frontend Service, Financial Frontend Service
  • Services generated by an auto-grouped service group, middle platform service group: Benefits Center Service, Search Center Service, Average Center Service, Payment Center Service
• Paths:
  • Custom: Frontend Load Service -> Operations Frontend Service; Frontend Load Service -> Financial Frontend Service; Operations Frontend Service -> Middle Platform Service Group (auto-grouped); Financial Frontend Service -> Middle Platform Service Group (auto-grouped)
  • Auto-generated: Access relationships between services within the Middle Platform Service Group (auto-grouped)
