[Association, Version ( "2.6.0" ),
UMLPackagePath ( "CIM::Application::DeploymentModel" ),
Description (
"An association between a Service and how it is implemented by "
"one or more executable SoftwareElements. Note that this "
"association is restricted to \'executable\' Elements. In "
"earlier phases of deployment, the SoftwareFeatureService "
"Implementation association is adequate and recommended. \n"
"The relationship between this association and Software "
"FeatureServiceImplementation is more fully described here. "
"SoftwareElementServiceImplementation allows the description of "
"greater granularity than SoftwareFeatureService "
"Implementation, when a SoftwareFeature is fully deployed and "
"results in several executable Elements. These Elements may "
"implement several different Services. \n"
"Since SoftwareFeatures decompose into SoftwareElements, it is "
"possible to describe how software implements a Service by "
"using either this association or the SoftwareFeature "
"ServiceImplementation relationship. One or the other should be "
"chosen. Both associations should not be used for a single "
"Service instance, since their information is redundant. \n"
"This relationship is especially important when the "
"SoftwareFeature and Product aspects are not described for a "
"SoftwareElement (ie, when the acquisition and deployment of "
"the software is not detailed). In this case, the Software "
"ElementServiceImplementation association is the only one "
"available to describe how a Service is implemented in "
"software. Since SoftwareFeatures are not instantiated, it is "
"not possible to use the SoftwareFeatureService Implementation "
"association. \n"
"The cardinality of this association is many-to-many. A Service "
"may be provided by more than one SoftwareElement. If this is "
"true, it is assumed that the SoftwareElements operate in "
"conjunction. And, any SoftwareElement may provide more than "
"one Service." )]
