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." )] class CIM_SoftwareElementServiceImplementation : CIM_Dependency { [Override ( "Antecedent" ), Description ( "The executable SoftwareElement implementing the Service." )] CIM_SoftwareElement REF Antecedent; [Override ( "Dependent" ), Description ( "The Service implemented by the SoftwareElement." )] CIM_Service REF Dependent; };
