Template:— support_solution_performance (sup_sol_perf)
Context:— UK_Defence
Date: 2009/04/17 12:06:38
Revision: 1.3

This section specifies the template support_solution_performance.

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 performance a support solution with respect to the related metric, that has been determined from analysis of support feedback.

Business perspective

This information object represents an analysis that has been performed on support feedback for the purposes of determining whether specific performance metrics have been met. The results of each Performance Analysis are recorded by means of relationships from the information objects that are generated by the analysis and the Performance Analysis object itself.

Input parameters
The following input parameters are defined for this template:
assessment_of_achievement (Type='STRING', Optional)
This is a qualitative or quantitative assessment of whether the related metric has been achieved.assigning_descriptor template should not be instantiated.
ID (Type='STRING')
The identifier of the support solution performance result.
source_organization (Type='STRING')
The identifier of the organization responsible for identifying the support solution performance result.
recommendation (Type='STRING', Optional)
This is a recommendation that may be made subsequent to deriving the performance result. This may include recommendations for design changes, support solution definition changes or re-analysis of support components.
related_analysis (Type= 'ENTITY (Document)' )
This is the reference to the analysis that produced the result.
related_metric (Type= 'ENTITY (Document)' )
This is the reference to the performance metric for which this result has been determined.
related_support_solution (Type= 'ENTITY (Document)' )
This is the reference to the support solution for which the support performance result has been derived.
value (Type= 'TYPE (any_number_value)' )
This is the value of the support solution performance result.
value_unit (Type='CLASS')
The class name corresponding to the unit of measure for the support solution performance result.
The following classes and their sub-classes can be used:
classifications: "Unit" (urn:plcs:rdl:std:Unit)
Reference parameters
The following reference parameters are defined for this template:
support_solution_performance(Type='ENTITY (Product_group)')
Allow the Product_group entity instantiated in this path to be referenced when this template is used.
Note: The Product_group entity can be referenced in a template path by:
%^target = $support_solution_performance.support_solution_performance%
where target is the parameter to which the Product_group is bound.
support_solution_performance_metric(Type='ENTITY (Product_group_membership)')
Allow the Product_group_membership entity instantiated in this path to be referenced when this template is used.
Note: The Product_group_membership entity can be referenced in a template path by:
%^target = $support_solution_performance.support_solution_performance_metric%
where target is the parameter to which the Product_group_membership is bound.
Uniqueness constraints

The following parameter combinations specify a uniqueness constraint:
Unique constraint: Support_solution_performance
Each instance of the entity (Product_group) within the data set shall be uniquely identified by a combination of the following parameters on this template (support_solution_performance) namely: ID, related_analysis, related_metric, related_support_solution.
The instance is referenced by the following template parameter: support_solution_performance.
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.
