Revision: 1.7

This section specifies the template obsolescence_impact.

NOTE  The template has been defined in the context of UK_Defence. Refer to the business context for details of related templates.

NOTE  An explanation of a template and the associated instantiation path is provided in the Template overview section.

Description

This template describes how to represent the concept of an obsolescence_impact in terms of PLCS model elements (templates, entities, and reference data).

Business perspective

A fleet is a named collection of products that are managed as a whole to meet an operational requirement.

Input parameters
The following input parameters are defined for this template:
ID (Type='STRING')
The identifier of the obsolescence impact.
source_organization (Type='STRING')
The organization that created the identifier. Additionally a Person or Information System could be defined when either of these are the source; see Identifier template.
impact (Type='STRING')
The obsolescence impact.
name (Type='STRING')
The name of the obsolescence impact.
priority (Type='CLASS')
The priority of the obsolescence impact.
The following classes and their sub-classes can be used:
classifications: [Obsolescence_impact_priority]
[warning:]Error RDL4: The URI urn:plcs:rdl:uk_defence is not listed in dexlib/data/refdata/rdl_index.xml
pse_specific_mitigation (Type= 'SELECT (state_definition_of_item)' )
The reference to the PSE specific mitigation plan.
related_obsolescence_issue (Type= 'SELECT (assigned_document_select)' )
The reference to the obsolescence issue.
related_pse_constituent (Type= 'SELECT (state_definition_of_item)' )
The reference to the related PSE constituent.
Reference parameters
The following reference parameters are defined for this template:
appl_state_def_asg(Type='ENTITY (Applied_state_definition_assignment)')
Allow the Applied_state_definition_assignment entity instantiated in this path to be referenced when this template is used.
Note: The Applied_state_definition_assignment entity can be referenced in a template path by:
%^target = $obsolescence_impact.appl_state_def_asg%
where target is the parameter to which the Applied_state_definition_assignment is bound.
state_def(Type='ENTITY (State_definition)')
Allow the State_definition entity instantiated in this path to be referenced when this template is used.
Note: The State_definition entity can be referenced in a template path by:
%^target = $obsolescence_impact.state_def%
where target is the parameter to which the State_definition is bound.
Instantiation path
The instantiation path shown below specifies the entities that are to be instantiated by the template.
A description of templates and the syntax for the instantiation path is provided in the Templates Help/Information section.
