Workflow diagrams and swimlanes can be found in the UML model for each of todays systems.
 
 
 
Please refer to the detailed diagrams in the subdirectories of the [https://rff.models.interconnective.ch/model/latest/index.htm?guid=4BE8AF90-5F80-445f-A373-C9171711C79B UML Model - Business Workflows].

Refer to the sheet '''Messages'''.
 
 
 
= Perspectives =
 
 
 
Based on the [[Architecture#Business Objects|business objects]] and [[Architecture#Workflows|workflows]] of [[Architecture#Current Architecture|todays systems]] the services are extracted into abstract layers combining services from various systems.
 
 
 
[[File:perspectives.png|border|center]]
 
 
 
== Steps ==
 
 
 
The steps (see bullet points) for doing that are:
 
 
 
# Describe the processes and platforms (done in the [[Architecture#Current Architecture|current architecture]])
 
# Remove platform borders keeping processes and objects
 
# Analysis of the services based on vision, governance and principles
 
# Aggregation of the found limitations
 
# Description of gaps (based on found limitations)
 
# Align services towards future architecture
 
 
 
== Perspectives and links to Processes, Objects, Limitations and Capabilities ==
 
 
 
Each perspective is assigned to a process and contains the process steps taken out of one of the systems currently covering this perspective. In the UML model the perspectives are described in detail. The following picture shows what can be found for each perspective.
 
 
 
[[File:Perspective_process_object.png|border|center]]
 
 
 
In the upper area of the perspective you find the <span style="color:#ff0000";"font-weight:bold">Processes</span> that are covered with this perspective. Below the '''Workflows''' for RUs and Partners as well as additional '''Digital Platform Workflows''' are described using swimlanes.
 
 
 
'''Use cases''' are described in the form of bubbles, showing involved actors.
 
 
 
'''Business Objects''' (blue) and '''Masterdata''' (grey) covered by this perspective are described in the lower area of the perspective.
 
 
 
'''Limitations''' found in the current perspective are positioned where they occur (activity, business object or below the processes for general limitations) and described with boxes (orange/brown).
 
 
 
'''Sector Initiatives''' belonging to this perspective that are not yet covered by a system or not yet described in the UML model are described with arrow-boxes (green).
 
 
 
Limitations are described in detail in a separate document. This document can be found here: [[Documents/List_of_Limitations_Capabilities_NFR_SAFE.xlsx|List of Limitations]].
 
 
 
== Todays Perspectives ==
 
 
 
The following perspectives were identified. The ones that contain a link are already defined and described in the UML Model.

  • the existing platforms and services
  • according to the needs and roadmap of the initiative -> Targets
  • in compliance with the defined Values

Development

The development of the Architecture was carried out with those steps

  • starting with the as is situation,
  • over the analysis of the gaps,
  • following the definition of the capabilities,
  • structuring the capabilities to topics,
  • their evaluation and
  • the basic platform services
