Note " "that this association is restricted to \'executable\' " "Elements. In earlier phases of deployment, the Software " "FeatureSAPImplementation association is adequate and " "recommended. \n" "The relationship between this association and Software " "FeatureSAPImplementation is more fully described here. " "SoftwareElementSAPImplementation allows the description of " "greater granularity than SoftwareFeatureSAPImplementation, " "when a SoftwareFeature is fully deployed and results in " "several executable Elements. These Elements may implement " "several different ServiceAccessPoints. \n" "Since SoftwareFeatures decompose into SoftwareElements, it is " "possible to describe how software implements a SAP by using " "either this association or the SoftwareFeatureSAP " "Implementation relationship. One or the other should be " "chosen. Both associations should not be used for a particular " "AccessPoint, 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 " "ElementSAPImplementation association is the only one available " "to describe how an AccessPoint is implemented in software. " "Since SoftwareFeatures are not instantiated, it is not " "possible to use the SoftwareFeatureSAP Implementation " "association. \n" "The cardinality of this association is many-to-many. A " "ServiceAccessPoint may be provided by more than one Software " "Element. (If this is true, it is assumed that the Software " "Elements operate in conjunction.)
