The reference to the set of analyses from which the support solution definition has been derived.
Assumptions (Type= 'SELECT (documented_element_select)' , Optional)
The reference to the set of analyses from which the support solution definition has been derived. If this attribute is not required, the relevant Document_assignment entity should not be instantiated.
ID (Type='STRING')
The identifier of the support solution definition.
ID_source_organization (Type='STRING')
The identifier of the organization that is the source of the support solution definition identifier.
Name (Type='STRING')
The name of the support solution definition.
Name_source_organization (Type='STRING')
The identifier of the organization that is the source of the support solution definition name.
Related_constraints (Type= 'SELECT (documented_element_select)' , Optional)
The reference to the constaints imposed upon development of the support solution definition. If this attribute is not required, the relevant Document_assignment entity should not be instantiated.
Related_PSE (Type= 'SELECT (documented_element_select)' )

Related_support_concept (Type= 'SELECT (documented_element_select)' )
The reference to the Support Concept for which the support solution definition has been defined.
Requirements (Type= 'SELECT (documented_element_select)' )
The reference to the set of requirements that the support solution definition satisfies.
Support_plan (Type= 'SELECT (documented_element_select)' )
The reference to the support plan which defines the support tasks and their resource requirements to support the Platform, system and equipment.
Version (Type='STRING')
The version of the support solution definition.
Version_source_organization (Type='STRING')
The identifier of the organization that is the source of the support solution definition version number.
Reference parameters
The following reference parameters are defined for this template:
support_soln_def(Type='ENTITY (Document)')
Allow the Document entity instantiated in this path to be referenced when this template is used.
Note: The Document entity can be referenced in a template path by:
%^target = $support_solution_definition.support_soln_def%
where target is the parameter to which the Document is bound.
support_soln_def_ver(Type='ENTITY (Document_version)')
Allow the Document_version entity instantiated in this path to be referenced when this template is used.
Note: The Document_version entity can be referenced in a template path by:
%^target = $support_solution_definition.support_soln_def_ver%
where target is the parameter to which the Document_version 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.
