Understanding the business service model assembly process

A Business Service Model consists of processes, business services, business policies and subscribers.

The assembly process is the complete procedure involved in putting together a complete business service model.

The assembly process spans across the different phases of the Lifecycle Methodology as well as the different perspectives of the IBM® Business Services Composition Studio application.

This process consists of the following four steps:

  1. There is a coarse-to-fine meta-model for describing business services in an enterprise. An overview of the major building blocks this meta-model defines is needed.
  2. The IBM Business Services Composition Studio application then lets you instantiate, view and edit objects in this model.
  3. You can do some limited testing of this meta data (Dynamic Assembly Simulator and Validate Business Service Model)
  4. You can also submit your changes to the IBM® Business Services Repository through a IBM® Business Services Governance Manager.
