a few questions on development scenarios

[Former Member]

Hello all,

I need help on choosing the correct development scenario.

We are about to develop 2 portals that will eventually be installed on 2 different machines (hence we need 2 different tracks).

For that we believe that we need 2 different software components (SC_A, SC_B) in two different products.

We also predict that there will be a few services DCs (for example a development component to access the database) those services will be used by DCs from both above SCs.

It looks like we will need one more SC (SC_serv) for those services.

am I right about that?

Would SC_serv belong to a third product?

Is it possible to declare usage dependency between DCs in different products?

How to declare the track for SC_serv if I need to use it in SC_A and SC_B that have different tracks?

I'll appreciate your thoughts on the above scenario, am I going in the right direction?

Thanks for your time, Adi.

Hello Adi,

You are on the right track. You could create a Software Component that is a generic one and will be used by both SC_A and SC_B. You would then set up repair connection between your SC_A and the generic track so that fixes you do would be propagated back to the generic track.

You would declare SC_serv as a dependency for SC_A and SC_B in your sld.

Hope that helps

Hi Abdul,

Thanks a lot for your reply.

There are still two issues I'm not sure about:

1. Is it possible to declare dependency between SCs from different products?

2. If SC_A has a track: system_A --> system_B --> system_C

and SC_B has a track: system_A --> system_D -->system_E

What should be the track of SC_serv ? Should it contain all those systems?

again, thanks for your time, Adi.

There are two ways:

One is you use one of the track(either SC_A or SC_B) to develop your SC_serv and transport it to the other track.

Second, create a separate track for SC_serv (with out asigning any runtime systems) and transport it to both SC_A and SC_B track.

Hello Adi,

Yes it is possible to define dependencies between SCs from different products. You do this in the SLD.

The other i think sreekanth answered.

Thanks Sreekanth Babu and Abdul for your replies.

As Sreekanth Babu suggested we decided to create for SC_serv a track without any runtime systems,

and create a connection from it's track to both other tracks of SC_A and SC_B.

Thanks, Adi.
