Scenario: There are two susbsystems, say, Desktop Subsystem and Mainframe Subsystem. A number of use cases have been identified for each subsystem, such as, UC Maintain Order, Upload Order for Desktop Subsystem, Process Order UC for Mainframe Subsystem. For Upload Order UC, the Desktop subsystem will eventually save an XML file on the network drive, which the Process Order UC in the Mainframe Subsystem can pick up to do an overnight batch processing. So clearly the interface betweem the two subsystems is the XML file.
Question: When creating Desktop subsystem use case model, should Mainframe Subsytem be an actor that is related to the Upload Order UC? >> That sounds fine. An actor generally relates to any external entity acting on your use case. mainframe desktopSystem 0 --- uploadOrder(XMLFile) | -------------------------> / \ -----Original Message----- From: Jie Zhao [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 10 October 2002 11:32 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: (ROSE) Subsystem Actor? Hi, Scenario: There are two susbsystems, say, Desktop Subsystem and Mainframe Subsystem. A number of use cases have been identified for each subsystem, such as, UC Maintain Order, Upload Order for Desktop Subsystem, Process Order UC for Mainframe Subsystem. For Upload Order UC, the Desktop subsystem will eventually save an XML file on the network drive, which the Process Order UC in the Mainframe Subsystem can pick up to do an overnight batch processing. So clearly the interface betweem the two subsystems is the XML file. Question: When creating Desktop subsystem use case model, should Mainframe Subsytem be an actor that is related to the Upload Order UC? Any thoughts are really appreciated!
